Mazda 6 Common Problems Malaysia — GJ
Mazda 6 GJ (2013–2021): carbon buildup on intake valves (2.0L and 2.5L direct injection) at 60,000–80,000 km. ATF FZ neglect causes torque converter shudder. Front strut bearing noise. 2.5L: higher carbon buildup rate than 2.0L due to higher cylinder displacement. Active torque vectoring (GVC) wears rear brake pads faster. Discontinued new sales in Malaysia — active used market.
