| I purchased this vehicle, new, on april 8, 1999. immediately i noticed problems, the car made an odd noise and vibration at rest, this was repaired, a missing bolt from the heat shield . the cd player stopped working within 10 days of purchase, replaced. warped wind deflecter replaced, and blown interior light fuses. the major problem of course is the transmission. car was taken to dealer on april 19, 1999 reported concerns with the transmission, shifting roughly, lurching and slipping at various speeds. technician test drove car, said there was no problem, did not do electronic analysis of transmission. i indicated my concern regarding the transmission to mazda corp. in the mazda care survey as well. on dec. 15, i went to dealership and demanded that a tech. ride with me as i expressed concerns. car had almost cut off while driving 3 days before. i had to rent a car to go to florida because i was afraid to put car on the road. car was left with dealer, and finally found to have transmission problem. they want to replace transmission, and then offer me a 12,000 mile warranty on the replaced transmission, when i currently have 35,000 miles remaining an my bumper to bumper warranty. this is inequitable, and unacceptable. this car was sold to me with a faulty transmission, and i want a replacement vehicle (new) or my money. | |||
