POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHIN THREE MONTHS/3,000 MILES! THIS TRANSMISSION WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE INCONVENIENCE OF BEING 8 HOURS FROM HOME, MOVING OUR DAUGHTER AND GRANDSON, THE MAZDA WAS PACKED FULL, ALONG WITH A CARAVAN OF A MOVING TRUCK AND OUR DAUGHTER'S CAR. THIS WAS NOT THE TIME FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE! WE HAD JUST LEARNED MAZDA WOULD NOT RECONSIDER PAYING FOR THE FIRST TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WITH ONLY 42450 MILES. NOW, WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AGAIN. WE HOPE THIS TIME MAZDA WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND ALSO RE-IMBURSE US FOR THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND THE EXPENSES INCURRED FROM FAILURE. I HAD TO DRIVE ON THE EDGE OF A VERY BUSY STREET IN FT. COLLINS,CO, WAVING TRAFFIC TO CAUTIOUSLY PROCEED AROUND ME, HOPING TO CATCH UP WITH THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WERE ALREADY OUT OF MY SIGHT, BUT I HAD NO AVENUE TO TURN OFF THIS BUSY STREET! THANKFUL, NO OTHER DRIVERS OR PASSENGERS WERE INVOLVED IN REAR ENDING ME-I WAS TRAVELING AT A SNAILS CRAWL-OR WITH THE TRAFFIC GOING AROUND ME, DIDN'T RUN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MY PREVIOUS ODI # IS 709937 SUBMITTED ON 8/12/99

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MAZDA NEVER SAID THAT THE COMPUTER WAS BAD, THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACING. THIS IS THE FOURTH CAR THAT I KNOW OF WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED. I FEEL THAT MAZDA SHOULD BE MADE TO PART FOR PART OF THE DAMAGE. MY DAUGHTER IS A COLLEGE STUDENT, AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS KIND OF EXPENSE, NEITHER CAN WE. THIS HAS CAUSED A REAL HARDSHIP, AND MAZDA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE. THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE. OBVIOUSLY THE TRANSMISSION FOR THIS MODEL OF CAR IS FAULTY. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AS A CURRENT OWNER OF A 1995 MAZDA 626 LX, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 41,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY IS FOR 3 YEARS OR 50,000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY IS OUT, WE REQUEST FROM MAZDA ASSISTANCE FOR PAYMENT OF REPAIRS. ORIGINAL VERBAL CONVERSATION, MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AGREED TO PAY FOR HALF OF REPAIRS. BUT UPON, THE SECOND VISIT WITH MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, WE ASKED FOR A SECOND REVIEW. IN TURN, SHE INFORMED US, MAZDA COULD REVOKE THE INITIAL OFFER OF PAYING FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR. WITHIN AN HOUR THEY REVOKED THE WHOLE INITIAL OFFER GIVEN. AND THIS WAS TO THE DEALER, NOT TO US, THE CUSTOMER. WE WERE NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP VIA PHONE AND UPON NOTIFYING US THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND READY TO PICK UP. BESIDES THE RUDENESS OF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, THE LENGTH OF TIME (3 DAYS) TO GET THE TRANSMISSION, REVOKING COMPLETLY THE ORIGINAL OFFER OF PAYING HALF FOR THE REPAIRS. WE FEEL WITH THE MANY CIRCUMSTANCES OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN YOUR COMPLAINT DATABASE ON 1995 MAZDA 626 TRANSMISSIONS, MAZDA WOULD WANT TO HAVE A RECALL OR HELP REIMBURSE FOR THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. THANK YOU.
