POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN EARLY NOVEMBER WITH NO WARNING. IT WAS REPLACED AT AN AUTHORIZED MAZDA DEALER, ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON GRAVELY GROUND THE FRONT END WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AGAIN BY THE MAZDA DEALER AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. NOW THE VEHICLE PRESENTLY NEEDS THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN. WHEN I SHIFT FROM REVERSE OR PARK TO DRIVE IT JERKS VIOLENTLY INTO GEAR, THEN IT HESITATES TO ACCELERATE. WHEN IT FINALLY DOES ACCELERATE IT JERKS OFF INTO GEAR. THE O/D LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES.*AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
I PURCHASED A MAZDA 626 FROM AUTO SERVICE COMPANY IN 1998. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE CAR HAD 40865 MILES ON IT. IN OCT OF 1999 THE VEHICLE HAD A BAD CV AXLE THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO RADER MAZDA AND THE AXLE HAD BEEN REPLACED. NOV OF 1999 I WAS DRIVING AND I NOTICED THAT THE CAR KEPT IDLING HIGHER, BUT WASN'T GOING ANY FASTER, I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO RADER MAZDA IN AUGUSTA GA, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT A BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION HAD SLIPPED AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT REBUILD TRANSMISSIONS. I PICKED UP THE CAR FROM RADER MAZDA TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS ON MY WAY TO NY FOR THANKSGIVING AND THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN. RADER MAZDA PUT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION IN THE AUTOMOBILE. A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE CV JOINT ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAD GONE BAD THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO UNIVERSAL AUTO REPAIR THE JOINT WAS REPLACED AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT THE CAR NEEDED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THE WARRANTY FROM THE FIRST 2 REPAIRS EXPIRED AFTER 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES. AUTO SERVICE COMPANY SOLD ME A LEMON, WHICH WAS A RENTAL CAR AND THEY DIDN'T MENTION ONE TIME THAT THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM A RENTAL CAR COMPANY. HAD I KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THE CAR. *AK

MAZDA CORP. DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS. MAZDA DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES 626'S HAVE TRANSMISSION FAULTS DUE TO RADIATORS BEING TOO SMALL AND CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT., BUT DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY. ADVISED EXTERNAL COOLANT SHOULD BE ATTACHED AFTER REPAIR. VIA THIS WEBSITE, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS EXIST. DOES MAZDA NOT READ THIS WEBSITE? CUSTOMER VERY DISSATISFIED WITH MAZDA . WENT OUT ON INTERSTATE. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ALSO AWARE OF 626'S TRANSMISSION'S REPUTATION. MAZDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT SAYS NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO RECALL TRANSMISSIONS. TO-DATE THIS IS THE 274TH COMPLAINT FILED ON THIS WEBSITE. WHEN WILL ACTION BE TAKEN; AND NOT THE CONSUMER BE TAKEN!!!*AK
