While driving the car does not shift into gears well. It is an intermittent problem that Mazda claims they can't duplicate or fix. However, all the vans appear to have this problem. I owned mine since July 2003, and only took it in once, since they say they still can't fix it. Vehicle does this even at slow speeds . It feels as if I was hit from behind, and put people at risk of an accident when surging in stop and go traffic! please get this fixed, I"m not alone with this problem.
