Consumer Description

AUTOMOBILE WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW, DIDN'T EVEN HAVE LICENSE PLATES ON IT YET, WHEN I PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. THE VEHICLE BACKED OUT BUT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD IN DRIVE. IT FINALLY LURCHED INTO DRIVE AFTER GIVING IT MORE GAS AND REVVING THE ENGINE. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT, AGAIN SAME ISSUE. WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD IN DRIVE, EVEN IN MANUAL SHIFT MODE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED. MAZDA STATED THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I AM REPORTING IN CASE THEIR ARE OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE. VERY THANKFUL IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC.
