general problems of the 2016 Mazda MAZDA6

The contact owns a 2016 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The transmission warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 15v451000 (suspension). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The car sometimes has a delay between going from reverse into drive. During the delay, the engine revs up and then it lurches forward. This seems to be happening more frequently with a longer time before the engine engages. This also occurred after stopping at a stop sign (and staying in drive the entire time. ) the car has ~12,000 miles on it but this has been happening soon after I purchased it brand new from the dealer with less than 10 miles on the odometer.

At around 9000 miles my 2016 Mazda 6 grand touring with tech pkg. Automatic is having transmission delays. When the car stop and the gear lever moved into neutral(n), reverse (r), and park (p) then back to drive (d). It has a 4-5 seconds delay before the gearbox being engaged. Also at 60+ mph cruising on freeways, when step deeper into the gas pedal to increase speed for overtake the transmission has a choke, felt like the gear was forced into place.

Around 7,000 miles, I began noticing that my car was not shifting properly or smoothly. Initially, I thought that it may have been something that I was doing. Upon shifting the car from park to drive/reverse, the car would lull for a moment, and then suddenly shoot into gear. At first, this was minor. As time as gone on, it has become more frequent and more intense; in one incident, the shift was so intense that my car actually "peeled" out. After reading about the experience from others on recall. Gov, I took my car to my dealership to get examined & hopefully find some type of solution. The service department told me to "have someone stand outside of my car and video record" the car doing this. I explained that it is random and that I could not possibly have someone with me at all times to record this. Their response then was for me (as the driver) to record this on my own phone. I didn't even begin to address their suggestion or the safety concern of that. My fear is that my car is going to shift or accelerate so intensely that I hit something, or worse case, someone.

My car is automatic transmission. When I would release the brakes after stopping at an intersection, the car would not immediately go into first gear. It would sit at the intersection and then suddenly jerk into first gear. I would drive normally after that. Dealer reports I have a defective transmission and they are replacing under warranty.

My brand new Mazda 6 with only 6000 miles transmission quit on 3/21/16. The cars gears wouldn't engage until the rpms would hit 3000 and then the car would lurch forward. The dealer has ordered a new transmission. This seems to be a common issue with Mazda 6 and Mazda cx-5. A recall needs to be issued. This is a major safety issue. Someone could have rear ended me or I could have caused an accident. The dealer said this is the first they have heard of this but there have been 100s of reports about this. Mazda needs to issue a statement and recall before someone gets hurt.
