I CALLED THE DEALER AFTER MY CAR STARTED ROLLING WHEN IT WAS IN PARK. SO WHEN I CALLED THEY WANTED BE TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATLY AND 2 HOURS LATER I GOT A CALL SAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION BLEW AT 12,500 MILES. DID ANYONE ELSE HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS?

My friend in Texas has a Blue 5 and he has like 17k and no problems. Um..i would hate to think its u who caused the trans to go/blow. Do u think the dealer rigged your s*** on purpose? Well, i've heard stranger things happen. Work it out.

Mazda's automatic is notoriously weak. Normally you can expect them to go out about every 60,000 miles, 17,500 is really early. You probably just got a bad one, it does happen. As long as they replace it then don't worry about it.

Yup, mazda trans really suck. Then again I could just be a bad driver.... Blew 2 on a 1993 626. I have a manual P5 now, had one scare last night. Pulled into my drive way, yanked up the hand break as I always do, took my foot off the break... and started rolling back!!! Scared the you know what out of me. Looked over my hand brake, was up 95% of the way. Moved back into place and tried again, this time it took. ANybody else have this problem??

You guys are talking all crazy saying that there is a waiting period of P5's...where i live they have to many of them and they are selling them for $15,000 +tax,tag,title...They have them in every color too and lots of yellow ones

Well i would never get a automatic trans so i have less worries than most of the ppl who do own auto's. Maint. checks and proper driving should eliminate alot of future problems as well. U know my saying though...
