Problem overview

Some Mazda MPV owners report experiencing transmission issues, such as the vehicle suddenly stopping its pulling power while still being able to shift into forward and reverse. This problem may be attributed to transmission slipping, which can prevent proper engagement despite shifting into gear. Additionally, some owners have noted transmission fluid leaks that lead to a loss of hydraulic pressure, further contributing to slipping and engagement problems. Overheating of the transmission has also been reported, potentially damaging components and affecting performance. Furthermore, signs of a faulty transmission may manifest as intermittent loss of pulling power. It is essential for owners to address these transmission concerns promptly to avoid further damage and costly repairs, and it is advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic if any symptoms arise.
