Warranty problem with tranny

I took my car to get it checked out at a Mazda dealership because it feels like the gears were bouncing(Auto). My car had a little under 60k miles so was still under warranty. They called me next day and told me they couldn't duplicate the problem and I told them to take it out for a drive again. They called me next day and same result so they told me to pick it up. They were to busy for them to take a test drive with me. I called Mazda Corp. customer service 2 times to tell them what happened and asked them when I go over 60k miles and the transmission goes out can Mazda fix it. They told me most likely no, but one said maybe since I have record that I took it in. Well it has gotten worse. Now I know how to duplicate the problem. If I drive at 25mph, let go of gas, and then press gas, it feels like the tranny is bouncing. It happens from 20mph-60mph, but worse at 25mph.

Anyone know whats the best thing to do?Sue?Ohh and I also have a horn problem that they could never "duplicate".

That sounds like the problem because I also have the problem with vibration when in drive but not N or P. Do you think I can have it fixed for free? Thanks
