Automatic transmission failure occurred as follows: transmission disengaged while driving 35 mph in city traffic (taylor street, columbia SC). Car lost power as if the transmission was in neutral. Warning displayed on dash "ats failure. " I powered off the engine and re-started engine and drove approximately 500 feet before transmission failed again. Was able to drive to the Mazda dealership after 4th attempt. Technicians labeled the issue as a "fluke" and they could find no reason for failure, although they did verify the code p0780 which stated to re-program the transmission. If I had been driving on the interstate (which I had been earlier in the day), the consequences could have been much more serious.

My wife was driving our 2003 Mazda 6 with 56,000 miles to school on Thursday morning on a busy 2-lane highway. She shifted (likely to 4th), and the manual transmission locked-up. Fortunately, she is an experienced driver and was able to disengage the clutch and coast the car to the shoulder without incident. If she had been inexperienced, or if a shoulder had not been available, or if the car behind her had been closer, the outcome could have been tragic. Regarding, the transmission, it had been maintained with all of the recommended fluid changes, and it was locked-up and damaged beyond economical repair. A used transmission was installed by the local Mazda dealer at a cost of over $2,000.
