NHTSA complaint #10188860, filed 2007-04, 103,696 miles“Automatic transmission failed under 80,000 miles. It was subject to safety recall but dealer in atlanta, ga, (rick case Mazda in gwinnett county) said that problem was different from recall and charged $2,954.03 for fixing it. If the dealer was honest, and I believe it is, then Mazda has a problem with this transmission.”
