Power Train · at 51,000 miles · reported Aug 9, 2012

Loud clunk in the drive train. Took it in and found the transfer case had leaked enough oil for large parts to be dislodged. Looked and found there was a TSB on the issue but was never notified. In searching the internet, I have found numerous people who have experienced the same issue. Mazda is aware of this issue but does not contact the owners of the car. The resulting repair is very expensive and, I feel there is a chance of transfer case lock up and possible loss of control.

Power Train · at 19,000 miles · reported Apr 12, 2012

Clutch pedal is difficult to operate. When releasing the clutch, the height of the pedal, where the clutch engages the engine is higher than other vehicles making a smooth engagement difficult. This is the verbatim issue documented on NHTSA TSB 05-003/07 for my vehicle. However, my VIN number is higher than those covered under the recall and the issue still exists. Please explain why my vehicle is not covered or produce a TSB covering the vehicles with vins higher than [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (Foia), 5 U.S.c. 552(B)(6).

Power Train · at 51,721 miles · reported Mar 19, 2012

After starting to drive my car to the top of my street which was only 15 feet from my driveway, I hear a loud clunk from the rear of the car. After taking my car to the dealership the diagnosed the problem was a sheered rear differential front mount bolt. The problem is mazda knows about this issue and have a reinforcement kit to fix it. This is a problem since it seems like it is a design flaw in the equipment and mazda has failed to recall this product since no one has filed complaint or been in accident (Thankfully) due to this issue.
