ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY MAZDA TRUCK B300 V6 MODEL HAS LOCKED UP ON ITS BRAKES. THE VEHICLE COMES EQUIPPED WITH AN ABS (FOUR-WHEEN ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM) WHICH PREVENTS IT FROM LOCKING UP DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, ON FOUR VARIED SITUATIONS IN LOCATION, WEATHER CONDITIONS AND MILEAGE APART 20,

ALL UNDER RAINY OR WET CONDITIONS WHERE THE ROAD WAS LEVEL, NORMAL, CONGESTED, OR GOING DOWNWARD ON A SMOOTH SLOPE IN ELEVATION. I MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND WAS TOLD THAT, THAT LOST OF TRACTION WAS DUE TO ELEVATION OF THE TRUCK AND PRESSING THE GAS WHILE I TURNED LEFT. ON THE PAST THREE OCCASSIONS I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS TURNING, EVER WHILE TURNING. I LIKE MY TRUCK, BUT I COULD'VE HAD CAUSED SOME MAJOR CAR WRECKS DUE TO SOME MALFUNCTIONING. *AKRead more

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE UNTIL SPEEDS OF 58-60 ARE REACHED - WHEN ACCELERATING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR THE COMPLAINT. DEALER TECH SAID VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT DURING 'AGRESSIVE ACCELERATING' . DRIVER MUST EASE UP ON GAS PEDAL BEFORE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT TO OVERDRIVE. SAID
... THIS WAS NORMAL. NEVER HEARD OF AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH SUCH REQUIREMENTS. NONE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED REQUIRED AN EASING UP ON GAS IN ORDER TO SHIFT. WHEN I FOLLOWED DEALERS INSTRUCTIONS, VEHICLE WILL STILL NOT SHIFT UNTIL IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS, I CAN'T GET INTO OVERDRIVE FOR THE TRIPS I TAKE, SO THE OVERDRIVE DOES ME NO GOOD. VEHICLE GETS VERY POOR MILEAGE AS A RELULT. DON'T THINK THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION.
