Hello all! I just purchased an 06' Mazda 6 v6 w/19.5k miles and I have to say that I love this car...I'm sure that some of the older models had some problems as I have read, but the only problem that I have run into is the transmission slip when pressing all the way down on the gas pedal @25-35mph but I have never run into this problem when in manual mode. For all those who are having this problem I suggest that you don't go "balls out" when in automatic mode. I have only had the car for about a week and I know what some of you are thinking... just wait right? I'll have this car for some time and I have the extended warranty. I think the slip is from the car jumping down 2 or 3 gears at a time then slamming into gear to meet your demands as the driver... my advice is when trying use your car to its potential use manual mode. Well I hope that this sheds some light at the end of your tunnels.!!

I have a 2005 Mazda 6 Wagon. 6 speed auto trans. 36,000 miles. I was driving it to work and it basically dropped out of gear. RPMs revved but no forward motion. Then it clunked back into gear and was back to normal. This happened a couple of times so I took it to a dealership and without hesitation they replaced the transmission. So now after reading all of these posts I fear more problems in the future. Should I dump this car now and get a Honda? I like the car a lot.. it drives nice and is well appointed. It looks great too. Just a bit concerned...
I have bought a 2005 Mazda 6 from a dealership in my town and it has been great. The only thing I have an issue with now is that my car does not realize it's in park and will not start. I have to put it in neutral in order to start it. The park light on the dashboard does not light up as reverse, neutral, dive and manual does. Any help and I would be grateful. Thanks.
My 2006 6s has been a great car up to now. My transmission slams into 2nd gear from 6th gear at @43 mph when I just press the gas pedal. I now see by reading the many comments this is a common problem, and I am heading to the dealer tomorrow, and I hope they honor their product and fix my car.
I am the owner of a 2004 Mazda 6s and have been nothing but pleased with this car. I bought it 2 1/2 years ago with 66000 miles and have had nothing but success and compliments. Maybe if you don't beat the he*l out of the transmission, it would behave for you. I drive this car daily on the freeway and in the city and I LOVE IT!!! I have put 65K on this car in 2 1/2 years and never needed to do anything other than basic maintenance.
