1 Loud Engine Noise problem of the 2010 Mazda MAZDA3

Failure Date: 01/13/2021

Has I was driving my car home from work. Driving about 35mph I started to loose power and then the at, engine, tcs/dsc lights all came on. When I made it home I let it sit. While I looked into the issue on google later that evening I went back to see if my car was still having the issue. I placed the car in reverse and my car jumped/ jerked real hard. As I let go of the break I noticed my car didn't slowly move on its own like prior. I actually had to press the gas down quite a bit. My car revved up to 3 making a loud noise. The car had no power would hardly move. As I researched the problems and light issues it was kinda a surprise how easy it was to figure out what the issue was. Since this is a very very common issue found with the Mazda cars. So many people have this issue that when you order the part at over $600. 00 in the directions that is sent they actually recommend relocating the tcm to a different location using zipties. Went to have car codes read on my car informed the guy what I believed it to be and the most likely will be u0101 lost communication with tcm, and I was correct.

2 Loud Engine Noise problem of the 2010 Mazda MAZDA3

Failure Date: 02/14/2018

The Mazda dealer did not have the equipment to make the harness fix. I continued to drive my car and one day, my car had loud roaring sound. Within a couple days later, it began to emit white smoke from under hood and black smoke from tailpipe and begin to lose power on freeway off-ramp. I coasted to bottom of off ramp. Then I was able to restart it to move it to a nearby kaiser lot adjacent to exit ramp. From there, I had it towed home and have not driven it since.

4 Loud Engine Noise problem of the 2006 Mazda MAZDA3

Failure Date: 11/09/2014

I was driving along and suddenly a loud noise, the check engine light came on and the car shifted from 4th to 3rd without losing speed (except from me taking my foot off of the gas when hearing the noise) all at the same time. My mechanic said the diagnostic machine pointed to the "turbine speed sensor", so this was replaced within 2 days. The same day I got the car back, I drove it about 30 miles and it did the same thing again. Now my mechanic is checking into the transmission, possibly causing the problem.

5 Loud Engine Noise problem of the 2013 Mazda MAZDA3

Failure Date: 09/10/2013

My new 2013 Mazda3 with only 3660 miles failed on a busy highway. First, the engine made a loud noise every time I shifted gears (manual shift. ) then, I could not change gears at all, and the engine failed----I just barely got it to the shoulder before it quit entirely. The dealer says the clutch needs to be replaced. I've had the car less than 6 months.
