| Automatic Transmission problems |
Overdrive indicator blinks constantly when ignition applied, brought to dealer to service, told need to replace complete transmission.
Engine knocking, svc dept advised us to Mazda oil additive, but still knocks even though low miles. Also, the transmission will get stuck when trying to back up and turning wheel to the right. Also, very dangerous/near collision because the transmission would go into 4wd on its own while we were driving 65 on the interstate in heavy traffic.
