Put my truck in gear d for drive start driving and at 5mph its making a noise like a standard transmission do when you are in the wrong gear such as too low. At first I thought it was my radio because it was sizzling and the read out that the station show was no longet showing the song or artist. So I switch to another station and is still made the sound so I put in a cd and listen to it and I had to turn volume up in order not to hear the sound. The faster I drove the louder it got. I only have 28,000 miles so transmission shouldnt be bad. I had an oil change about 2 weeks ago with tire rotation and fluids checked and all was fine. Taking it to shop.
I tried to turn on my car but the battery was dead for no reason (did not leave the car or stereo on). After I jumped the battery and got the car running the engine sounded different and the engine would barely move the car. I let the battery charge for a while and tried to drive the car again and it will had no power coming from the engine, it would only go maybe 20 mph. I drove home taking back roads because I could not maintain enough speed to take a main road. I plan on contacting Mazda tomorrow to figure out what to do next to fix this.
