I have a 2006 Mazda 3i touring sedan . I was driving to pick up a cake for my anniversary when I parked the car got out got the cake and left the parking spot just a few feet down the road I heard some noise thought it was my engine under body plastic that protects the under part of my engine. Well went home took it off driven it around still the same noise grinding the dealer said transmission and 3others said powertrain problems I would love to know if it has a recall on the powertrain/ carrier and pinion because I would love to drive my car.
