Transmission has gone out and needs replacement at barely over 50,000 miles.this could pose a serious safety risk, considering that it could go out on the freeway or anywhere while the vehicle is in motion.there are many people who have this same problem and same complaint, Mazda knows there is a defect, and they refuse to fix the defect, opting to wait until the customer is out of warranty and making them absorb a portion of the charges.also, I have had 2 accidents in my car one where I was rear ended while in a stopped position and neither airbag was deployed.
