2003 Mazda 6 I review from North America

The transmission would only shift into neutral at 42,000 miles. The transmission was replaced. This did not fix the problem. They instead replaced the front axle assembly.

At 64,000 miles, the battery light came on. I took it to Mazda on July 19th. July 20th, they checked the alternator output and the PCM. They assured me the car was fine. I went to pick it up, and the car wouldn't start. They then decided it was the alternator, which they replaces at a 125% mark-up. On the first test drive, the power train failed. They then decided it was the PCM. After they replaced that, on the first test drive, the RCM failed, along with the power windows, all the bulbs in the head lamps and the air conditioning blower.

The Mazda6 is a very comfortable, smooth ride and it has a spacious interior. However, those are the only good things I can say about this car. I have had nothing, but problems with this car in the 2 years I've owned it, each one more substantial, and more costly than the next. Every time I bring it to Mazda for a repair, they can't find anything wrong and fix whatever seems to be the best bet. This, invariably, causes more serious problems with the car.
