“While driving my 2016 Mazda CX-3 on california highway 280 it suddenly started losing power, I couldn't drive the car and there was no warning light of anything. Not knowing the problem I did not want to drive the car any further, had to tow to the Mazda dealer. They have identified the problem as transmission had to be replaced. There was no engine check light and there was no other warning lights. As they working on the car they also identified the brakes were worn out well beyond the minimum standards. Also there was no brake warning light to alert me for the such problem. …”
