My transmission on Mpv Mazda van just stopped working , once on the expressway. Once on a trip. Both cost for a tow & repair . Mazda should be taking care of this problem. All of the Mpv vans are having problems at low mileages. Some repair shops are replacing hole trans, some the coils on the trans . I feel the vans are unsafe. It happen again ,my van sites because I can't keep putting good money into bad. I hope someone can please help the people and make Mazda recall the transmissions and put the trans that works in the vans. Thank you for your time. God bless.
The vehicle would not go into park and it was impossible to turn the motor off or take the key out, dealer found a wire which had gotten hung up in the shift mechanism, 5000 miles later, dealer found the cable and shift linkage hanging up under the dash, repairs were made and about 3 weeks later vehicle would not go into park again, consumer feels the transmission should be replaced.
