2015 Mazda Mazda6 Power Train

AUDIBLE WHINE FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN IN MOTION. I CAN'T RECREATE THE NOISE WHEN STOPPED OR IN NEUTRAL AND CAN BE HEARD WHEN IN DRIVING AND PICKING UP SPEED.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED AS FOLLOWS: TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC (TAYLOR STREET, COLUMBIA SC). CAR LOST POWER AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. WARNING DISPLAYED ON DASH "ATS FAILURE." I POWERED OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-STARTED ENGINE AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET BEFORE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP AFTER 4TH ATTEMPT. TECHNICIANS LABELED THE ISSUE AS A "FLUKE" AND THEY COULD FIND NO REASON FOR FAILURE, ALTHOUGH THEY DID VERIFY THE CODE P0780 WHICH STATED TO RE-PROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (WHICH I HAD BEEN EARLIER IN THE DAY), THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 6. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED AND THE SCBS WARNING AND ENGINE CHECK REQUIRED WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.
