CarComplaints.com Notes: Except for a minor issue with cracked motor mounts, the 2006 MAZDA3 is a fantastic vehicle with a great reputation.
If you need to replace the motor mounts, first ask your dealer if they'll cover it -- the motor mounts were dealt with in a TSB & were recalled for some model years. Otherwise buy aftermarket motor mounts -- owners report this solves the problem. If you use the same OEM parts, they may just crack again.

I have a 2006 Mazda 3 the problem starts with the at light coming up and goes in a second and the car its like jerking and stops for a second the speed goes down suddenly like I just hit the brakes hard. I took the car to Mazda dealer but because the light doas not stay they can not tell what's going. I looked at it online and I say that a lot of people complain about the same problem the Mazda have a problem with the tcm. After 3 month of driving the cars at that same condition and after I ask dozens of mechanics the light stay on for a while I hooked it to the computer and it says lost communication with the tcm. Please look at this issue and make sure that Mazda will fix it a problem with the transmission control monitor or the computer.
