Replying to: zlatan (Dec 12, 2007 10:17 am) I've had the same problem at 80,000 miles!!! I've kept everything up on it, taken it to the dealership etc. Luckily I had purchased an extended warranty and they are covering it, but we've had to fight tooth and nail to get it covered. All the i's had to be dotted and t's crossed. In my opinion Mazda should cover the transmission either way, piece of crap!!! It was EXTREMELY dissapointing dealing w/this reality of the Mazda 3. Other problems I've had include - fuel pump (had to be changed the week I bought it - not right from the factory?), broken motor mount, problems closing the glove box, the carpet on passenger side and I'm sure there are a couple more but that's mostly it. I think they were sleeping the day they made my car!! I guess I should've went with the Toyota! Replies to this message: autonomous (Dec 21, 2007 1:54 pm) jeffreyg1 (Dec 21, 2007 3:48 pm)

What year is your Mazda3?

Replying to: ennis (Dec 21, 2007 11:48 am) interesting... your clutch or transmission goes out at 80,000 mile how did you get Madza to cover that??? i would consider that normal wear and tear...considering some of us had ours go out at low mileage...and had to pay some 1200 bucks for repairs...I never had any other problems with my 2004.....other than a broken moter mount when they replaced the clutch on mine which was covered...
#60 of 193 mazda 3 trans problems by vlstellato Dec 29, 2007 (11:47 am)
I have a 06 automatic, I looked threw the owners manual to find the service intervals for the trans and couldn't find them. I called the dealer and was told it was a flaw and it wasn't printed. I bet if I had any problems the dealer would say it either was from neglet or bad driving. I read other forum postings of people having problems with manual trans and cluthes and being blamed on poor driving habits or not knowing how to drive stick. If that where me I would have the dealer give me the keys to a new car and show him that I knew how to drive stick. I had the following problems with my car, A/C stopped woking at 18000 miles(live in fla.) took it to the dealer and was told it was because I had a clogged cabin air filter and they are not responsible for the repair, I purchased a oem filter and after 5 hours of disasemblind the center consol I finally changed the filter and it wasn't clogged and the A/C still didn't work. So I looked under the hood and found that the nut holdind the cluth to the compressor came off. I also hate the everytime you bring your car to the dealer for warrenty work the always try to sell you a mileage service package that is to expensive or not nessary

Replying to: jujumaster (Dec 14, 2007 11:45 am) I am confused too. So mazda3 isn't really reliable then right? I am planning between a Mazda 3, Volkswaggen Jetta, Toyota Corolla, and a Chevy Cobalt. I am planning to buy either of these cars, and planning to keep them for about 100,00 miles. I have a discussion over in the toyota corolla forum that talks about this. Maybe you need to see it, because the folks over there say that the Mazda 3 is very reliable. Replies to this message: roadburner (Dec 30, 2007 7:55 am) kidoctor (Dec 30, 2007 8:21 am)

Maybe you need to see it, because the folks over there say that the Mazda 3 is very reliable.   Browsing a few internet message boards is an extremely inaccurate way to ascertain the overall reliability of a particular make/model. The Consumer Reports reliability rankings are also flawed, but I have found them to be considerably more useful than reading than reading the rants of a few unhappy owners on a particular web forum. In my experience I would rank the reliability of the vehicles you mentioned as follows: 1. Corolla 2. Mazda 3 3. Jetta 4. Cobalt I'd also say that there is only a slight difference between the reliability of the Toyota and the Mazda. Also remember that a good dealer makes a big difference in your overall satisfaction with a vehicle.

Replying to: tpulak (Dec 30, 2007 7:24 am) I'm the owner of a 2007 Mazda Speed3 (turbocharged 3). I had massive clutch problems at 39 miles (couldn't move the car - I talked about it earlier). Since I had the clutch replaced (Mazda "warranty"), I've never had a problem (4 months, 7500+ miles on it so far). Personally, I think the car overall is great (I'm totally happy with it), but the clutch may leave something to be desired. I used to drive a 1991 Toyota Corolla which had 90 000+ miles on it and was STILL on the original clutch, drive belt, etc. If you're thinking about super reliability, I think Toyota's the best - they last forever.
#64 of 193 tranny and oils by mpdaponte31b Dec 30, 2007 (12:37 pm)
I changed the oil today on a 2207 and now the tranny seems to drag shifting gears. i drained the pan on the drivers side and it could not have been the tranny pan because the engine oil went down. any one have any suggestions on what it is before it goes back to the dealer?

Replying to: rienell (Mar 06, 2007 4:50 pm) IN BRIEF, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS IN DEALING WITH FORD DEALERSHIPS & FORD CORPORATION WHO SEEM TO NOT CARE WHAT THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE DOING. AFTER TALKING TO VARIOUS PEOPLE, THE NEXT TIME I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EITHER OF THEM, I WILL LOOK REAL HARD INTO SUING THEM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR POSSIBLY GETTING AN ATTORNEY ON IT. FORD SERVICE JUST FLAT OUT LIES TO ME & I TRY TO BE NICE BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER. EVEN IF THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT, BE PREPARED FOR WHAT LAME STORY THEY MAY TRY TO COME UP WITH OR HOW THEY CLAIM TO HAVE NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM WHATSOEVER.
