POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD CONSISTANT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AFTER AROUND 50,000 MILE. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TAKING THE ADVICE OF MAZDA TRANSMISSION EXPERTS AND OTHER TECHS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED TRANNY LEAKS THAT WOULD MAKE THE CAR LOOK LIKE IT WAS FLOATING ON A CLOUD CAUSED BY THE FLUID FALLING ON A HOT EXAUST. NOW AT 104,000 MILES RIGHT AFTER HAVING MY SEALS CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION APEARS TO HEAT UP WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND LEAVES ME STUCK IN FIRST GEAR HOPING I CAN MAKE IT HOME. THIS TRANSMISSION IS GARBAGE AND HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. WHO EVER LET THIS ENGINEERING DISASTER BE SOLD SHOULD PAY FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE CAUSED.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE O/D LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO FLASH AT ABOUT 75000 MILES. WHEN THE LIGHT IS FLASHING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD, BUT IF THEO/D LIGHT STOPS BLINKING, THE TRANSMISSION RUNS SMOOTHLY. MYSELF AND COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SITUATION. MAZDA/FORD NEED TO TAKE RESPOSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY PRODUCT.

THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPAIRMAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO OIL SLUG BUILD. I HAD ALL MY OIL CHANGES DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE BROWN SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF $5,000 FOR REBUILT OR $7,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE. MY FRIEND WAS TOLD THE PERSON WHO HAD THE CAR BEFORE DID NOT HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. I GUESS I AM LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE CAR CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. (SHOULDN'T THE CAR DEALSHIP MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OK BEFORE SELLING THE CARS?

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
MY 2001 MAZDA 626 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS BURNT-UP TWICE WITH A TOTAL OF 90K MILES. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WELL DOCUMENTED WITH THIS MODEL AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE MANUFACTURE IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS REPLACE BY MAZDA AND THE SECOUND APPEARS TO BE MY RESPONSABILITY EVEN THOUGH I'VE ONLY LOGGED 50K ON THE REPLACED TRANIE. I HAVE PERFORMED ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND EACH TIME I HAVE THEM LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME UNTIL IT FAILS; IT'S NORMAL FOR THIS CAR! THE OTHER ANSWER IS TO BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH IS A WASTE CONSIDERING THEY ALREADY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THE FIX. I'M TIRED OF HAVING TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT'S STRANDED ME ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSED TRAFFIC JAMS AND TOWING FEES AND LEFT ME WITH A CAR THAT COSTS ME MORE IN REPAIRS THEN IT'S WORTH.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD A MAZDA 626 MODEL 1993 FOR 1.5 YEARS NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 83000 MILES AND WAS VERY WELL AKEN CARE OF BY ONE PREVOIOUS OWNER. I SERVICE THE CAR EVERY 3000 MILES REGULARLY. # WEEKS AGO THE TRANSMISSION DIED ON ME A LL OF A SUDDEN. I WAS LEFT TO COAST ON A MAIN STREET, ALMOST CAUSING A 3 CAR ACCIDENT TILL I COULD ENTER A PARKING SPOT ON THE RIGHT. CONSEQUENTLY I FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION BUT GOT STUCK AGAIN IN A HEAVY JUNCTION PUSHING MY CAR TO SAFETY AND AGAIN TWICE AFTER FIXING (1837$!) IT COASTING TO SAFETY LUCKILY ON THE HIGHWAY! IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME THAT A CARS TRANSMISSION SHOULD FAIL AFTER 83000 MILES AND THERE WERE MANY MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE WEB. IS THERE ANY WAY THE MANUFACTURER CAN BE MADE TO PAY THE TAB.*AK

TRANSMISSION FAILURE,MOTOR MOUNT FAILURES,OVERHEATING PROBLEMS. BRAKE LINE FAILURE. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY MAZDA 626 USED FROM A DEALERSHIP I HAVE HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT ONLY HAD 63,000 MILES. MAZDA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE KIND OF CARS THEY PUT OUT ON THE ROAD.

BOTH AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED INJURIES, AND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL ON HER OWN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. *AK THE CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER WAS THE DRIVER.

ONCE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH AND HIGHER IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION COMES OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE REASON BEING THERE IS A LOUD ACCELERATION NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR SERVICE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING EITHER BY OVERHEATING OR BAD TRANSMISSION BY MAZDA, AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 119,000 MILES ON IT. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHEN ARE THEY RECALL ALL THE 626'S AND FIX THE PROBLEM, OR I'LL SUE THE COMPANY. THIS IS SO UNFAIR THAT THEY STOP MAKING 626'S, FOR WHAT REASON.*AK
