#3327 of 3600 Re: 2000 mazda protege shudder [alalime] by autonomous May 27, 2008 (10:45 am)
Replying to: alalime (May 27, 2008 6:47 am) shudder that felt like the car had been rear ended, the engine accelerated for about a second, and then the car drove fine   My 2002 Protege5 has done that occasionally in the last 5 years. It feels like the transmission kicked into gear. It does not seem to have led to any problems in my case.

Replying to: alalime (May 27, 2008 6:47 am) I had the reverse problem with my last 2 proteges. After about 60,000 miles they would shudder at every stop light, the RPMs would drop for a second and then everything would normalize until the next stoplight. I always thought it was a "Mazda-thing".

#3332 of 3600 2003 AC problems by anogan Jun 12, 2008 (6:12 pm)
I am having a problem with my ac. It started with it working on and off when it was on setting 2 but the other ones were fine. Now it only works on 1 and 4. Also there is a buzzing noise comming out of the vents and it gets worse from 1 to 4. Thanks in advance for the help.

Replying to: alalime (May 27, 2008 6:47 am) thats the problem i am having. i bought my 03 protege in july 2005 with 59000 miles on it. that bucking thing it does catches me off guard. its only done it 3 times since ive had it. the first time was a few months after i bought it, then sometime last year, and last time it was a few days ago. luckily no problems have come of it. my parents seem to think its the transmission, and in some other sites ive gone to mazdas seem to be notorious for transmission failure, i hope this is not the case.

#3335 of 3600 Funny high pitched sound by davidingilbert Jul 03, 2008 (9:35 am)
Hey all. It's me - davidingilbert again. Just a quick update - no "CEL" since my last visit to the dealership for the issue - I believe in February. I am also glad my experience helped everyone here with the same or similar issue.   I am in need of everyone's help again. By now, my wife's Protege has about 72,000 miles on. I mainly use it now because I drive approximately 60 miles a day between home and work.   When driving on the freeway between 60 and 70 MPH and the tachometer is around 3,000 RPM, I get this high-pitched whining sound. The closest sound I can think of when the dentist is filing your teeth, but a little higher than that sound. It never last very long - 2 to 4 seconds at most. At first I thought it was the tires making contact in a strange way with the cement. But, now I believe it is something behind the radio or A/C controls. But, it appears to be happening more and more. Plus, my wife has heard it - so I know it is not only me!   Anyone else have a similar issue? If so, any idea as to what it could be?   Please advise. Have a good July 4th folks! Dave Replies to this message: maltb (Jul 03, 2008 10:20 am) autonomous (Jul 04, 2008 3:39 pm)

Replying to: davidingilbert (Jul 03, 2008 9:35 am) I recall a few of those cars having air leaks around the windsheild. try having a buddy push on the windshield (from the passenger seat) while you are driving. If the noise changes, have the windshield re-sealed.
