Hello i am a 2nd owner of a Mazda 2007 6. And the man i brought car from said it always did it to him as well.i would explain it as in stopping or speeding up the dashboard lights flicker or goes off, the engine gets real loud and car jerks and shakes and loses power check engine light comes on and AT.and Cars dyes in reverse a few times on me. Auto lots said that it is common and known for electrical problems and engine issues and pieces called camshafts position actuator and transmission range sensor and gears. And the man owned before me has replaced them multiple times. Its dangerous to be driving specially on interstate and car stalls or lose so much power that i only get about 20 miles an hour

Mazda 2007 Mazda 6 with severe corrosion to engine subframe posing a very serious safety concern if breaks while driving. Current Mazda 6 in question had less than 100K miles and was spotted by an oil change technician. I've asked a couple mechanics and was informed the car would be a possible death trap to myself or others if not fixed quickly. All parties are amazed at amount of corrosion, internet searches suggest this is a very common problem and already a recall in place for other year Mazda 6's.

The airbag deflated when I was involved in a car accident September 25, 2015. I suffered a fractured sternum from the airbag and severely multiple fractures in right ankle. This car was totaled. The accident was not my fault, the other car moved into my lane and I struck it head on.

The car has very serious issues with the transmission. When driving it jerks violently when switching gears from 2nd to 3rd gear and some times to the 4th gear. The dashboard some times shows the car has switched to the 3rd gear while the car is still revving abnormally high in 2nd gear. The transmission has some very serious and potentially deadly issues. This issues tend to occur frequently when accelerating from a stop. (the car's acceleration is very weak, I don't know if this is related to the issue or not )

All of a sudden my cooling fan module continues to run after car has been turned off (can last anywhere from 5-10 minutes). Based off of the reviews I'm confused as to why there wasn't a recall for this issue? called local Mazda dealership and they told me it would be $90 for them to just look at it.

For it having so few miles 60K and having been serviced with synthetic transmission oil, this car shift hard from first and second at regular temperature. On cold starts car shift harder and at times turns off or losses power.

I was drive my fiance car and on my way home I start hearing a ticking noise. When I got home I check the oil and then the next day I got it towed to the Mazda dealership to be check because it was still under warranty.they had the car for a week after the second day I call to see what was going on I talk to the head mechanic his name was [xxx] he said"I should have no problem because we taking the top part of the motor off and the motor been well taking care of so your warranty will be good. The next day I get a call saying we need oil change record I sent all the record but two cause I had time to do it myself and I never save the receipt cause it was a new car. I get a call three days later talking about my warranty was denied cause of no oil so when I was told that I call the dealership to talk to [xxx] the head mechanic to find out he was let go. The reason why there is a nice time period in my claim cause I didn't have money for a lawyer but a lady I was talking to from penndot gave me your website.
