The 2004 Mazda6’s engine failuresWhile this wasn’t the most common problem that 2004 Mazda6 owners encountered, Car Complaints does say that this was by far the worst problem that any Mazda6 had in general. The 2004 Mazda6 owners who chose to replace their engines still paid a hefty fee, too. This high price tag for a repair, combined with how frequent this problem happens, made it the worst problem for Mazda6 owners to encounter. On top of that, for the 2014 Mazda6, transmission issues were the most common problems that the owners faced. On average, Car Complaints said that owners of the 2008 Mazda6 paid about $3,630 to replace their transmission.
Though it's essentially the same size as the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, and Honda Accord, the Mazda6 manages to appear a little leaner and more purposeful. Inside, the Mazda6 feels sporty, even in base trims, with flowing lines, hooded instruments, and a smaller-size three-spoke steering wheel. You shouldn't have any reservations about sticking with the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that Mazda6 'i' (including base SV, Sport, and Touring) models get. The 2012 Mazda6 won't let you down in any way with respect to seating comfort, cargo space, or ride quality. Bluetooth is still lacking on base models, but the Mazda6 does include air conditioning, a tilt/telescopic stsering wheel, power windows and locks, rear-seat heated ducts, and a six-speaker audio system with aux input.
Getting Started Junior Member81 postsJoined: Jul 2013QUOTE(kenviro @ Oct 2 2014, 04:03 PM)It only occurred to me that Mazda cars could have this high FC problem when I visited the Mazda 3 Facebook page and saw a comment from this person, Ed War, that his new Mazda 3 was having a high FC problem. This led to to have concern that not only is Mazda 3 having high FC problem but Mazda 6 has such high FC problem too. I am seriously considering to buy either Mazda 3 or Mazda 6 (if the latter can be gotten for under RM150K) but I am concerned about the high fuel consumption (FC). This led to to have concern that not only is Mazda 3 having high FC problem but Mazda 6 has such high FC problem too. In summary, if you want good fuel consumption, you would need to go with the small and light vehicle, Segment B vehicles.
Mazda 3 2010-2013: problems, fuel economy, driving experience, photos2012 Mazda 3. The part is not expensive (around $20).The transmission control module (TCM) may fail, causing the AT light to come on with the code for shift solenoids. The part is not expensive and the air flow sensor replacement is easy.The hydraulic drive belt tensioner in Skyactiv 2.0L engine can fail (leak) and cause a rattling noise on acceleration. Replacing the belt tensioner together with the drive belt will cost $240-$320.The Skyactiv engine has a direct fuel injection. The Skyactiv transmission is another interesting story.
Imej Mazda Malaysia semakin tercalar dengan after sales servis atau khidmat pelanggan yang teruk dan technical problem pada Mazda skyactive engine pada model2 Mazda seperti Mazda 2, 3, 6. Gambar di atas menunjukkan media release dari Mazda Malaysia yang menerangkan issue oil filter part number yang boleh digunakan. Post di FB Mazda Malaysia itu mengundang kemarahan pengguna Mazda yang semakin keliru dan mahu membuat petition agar Mazda membetulkan segala tindakan mereka. Kes ini seakan kes VW Malaysia yang sudah terkenal dengan after sales service paling teruk di Malaysia. If oil filter is ambient temperature dependant, are you implying that Mazda oil filter B6Y1 cannot allow good flow in cold climate?
Mazda 6 Facelift meluncur di Malaysia seperti dikutip dari Paultan.org (14/8). Medium sedan yang meluncur di negeri jiran ini memiliki spesifikasi yang serupa dengan versi tanah air. Perubahan pada eksteriornya meliputi desain grilnya yang kini tidak lagi model bilah-bilah serta ada perubahan desain reflektor pada lampu depan serta adanya penambahan foglamp yang terintegrasi. Bagian belakangnya pun juga mendapatkan sedikit perubahan pada desain bumpernya yang kini juga tidak ada aksen berwarna hitam melainkan seluruh panelnya sewarna dengan bodi. Jika versi Indonesia, Mazda 6 hanya mengusung mesin bensin 2.500 cc 4 silinder SkyActiv-G, versi Malaysia pun tersedia mesin ini ditambah dengan unit bensin 2.000 cc 4 silinder SkyActiv-G bertenaga 162 dk dan torsi 213 Nm dan mesin diesel turbo 4 silinder SkyActiv-D dengan tenaga 173 dk dan torsi 420 Nm.
