Consumer Description

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THERE IS A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE FOR 2-3 SECONDS . IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A CARD GOING THROUGH BICYCLE SPOKES AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A HIGH REV SOUND . THIS SOUND ALSO HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING DIRECTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO A NEW GEAR, AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THE REV SOUND AND CARD IN SPOKES SOUND. MAZDA CORPORATION HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF ALL REPORTS I HAVE MADE, AND I DIDN'T KNOW OF THIS SITE TO REPORT UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE REPORTED ADDITION DEFECT S TO MAZDA CORP AS WELL BUT DO NOT HAVE THE DETAILS AT THIS TIME. THAT IS THE REASON FOR SUBMITTING THEM ALL AT THIS TIME.
