POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 1994 MAZDA 626 ES WITH 80,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS BEEN PREFECTLY CARED FOR AND I HAVE HAD SCHEDULED MAINTAINENCE DONE ON THE CAR.FOR ABOUTLELY NO REASON THE TRANSMISSION HAS DIED. I HAVE READ AND HEARD OVER A HUNDRED COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON. I HAVE CONTACTED DEALERSHIPS AND MAZDA HEADQUATERS STILL WITH NO RESPONSE. THE TRASMISSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED FROM DAY ONE. I AND OTHERS HAVE HAD TO PAY OVER 2,000 DOLLARS IN REBUILT AND NEW TRANSMISSIONS. WHICH IS PLAIN OUT WRONG AND THE TRANSMISSIONS WILL DOWNSHIFT OUT OF NOWHERE. WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND IT DOWNSHIFTS FROM 70 TO 50 MPH, THEN IT BECOMES A HUGE PROBLEM THAT PUTS MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK. THANK YOU . *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH
I OWNER A MAZDA 1994 ES 626 , (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 99V35800), IN MAY 2001 THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH FAIL TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AL SMITH MAZDA IN RALEIGH NC, FOR REPAIRS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT VEHICLE WAS ON RECALL AND REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THE SWITCH OPERATED CORRECTLY UNTIL TWO WEEK AGO. THEN THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED TURNING OFF AND ON WHILE USING THE TURN SIGNALS . I AM CONTACTED BOTH MAZDA(NATIONAL ) AND A LOCAL MAZDA DEALER, BOTH OF THEM STATING THAT SINCE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS REPAIR ONCE THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR IT AGAIN. HEADLIGHT SWITCHES DON'T GO BAD AFTER TWO YEARS, AND REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS SWITCH THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIR CORRECTLY. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 1994' MAZDA 626 HAS ONLY 68,000 MILES AND IS IN NEED OF A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT WILL SURGE WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED AND SLIP OUT OF GEAR. ON THE HIGHWAY IT WON'T GO OVER 65 MPH BECAUSE IT WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND SLOW DOWN. THIS IS A PROBLEM MANY 626 OWNERS HAVE HAD.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 56000 MILES! TWO TRANSMISSIONS IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME IS VERY BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL OF ALL MAZDA 626'S FROM '94 TO '02*JB

THIS CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS FROM THE START RIGHT AFTER MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. I'VE HAD TO CALL THE CORPERATION FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON, THEY HAD THE DEALER REPLACE A SENSOR FOR ABOUT $1200.00. THIS CAR HAS NO BUSINESS BEING SOLD. NOW THE DEALER IS NO LONGER SELLING MAZDA'S. THE NEW DEALER IS JAY MAZDA AND THEY DON'T CARE. DT

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE MAZDA 626 IS NOW ON IT'S SECOND TRANSMISSION AND IS CURRENTLY NOT DRIVEABLE BECAUSE IT NEEDS ANOTHER NEW ONE. FOR THE PAST 5,000 MILES THE CAR'S HOLD LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH, THE CAR JERKS AND THE SPEED DROPS ABOUT 40-50 MILES. THIS IS NOT SAFE WHEN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE OR ANYTIME FOR THAT MATTER. THE LAST STRAW WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DECIDED TO JERK AND DROP DOWN TO 15 MILES AND HOUR. NOT ONLY WAS I ALMOST REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES BUT I ALMOST FLEW THROUGH THE WINDSHEILD.AT THE NEXT RED LIGHT THE CAR DECIDED NOT TO EVEN GO ANYMORE. YOU CAN PRESS THE GAS BUT IN DRIVE IT WON'T MOVE. BUT IT DOES GO IN REVERSE ALTHOUGH IT STILL JERKS AND THE HOLD LIGHT CONTINUES TO FLASH. THE CAR IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD NEW VEHICLES AND CAN'T AFFORD $1200-$2500 TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. SO THEREFORE WE CONTINUE TO BE WITHOUT A CAR WHILE THE MANUFACTURER MAKES MONEY OFF OF US PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE GETTING INTO WHEN WE BOUGHT A MAZDA. THEY ALL ALSO NEED NEW MOTOR MOUNTS(WHICH AREN'T CHEAP)VERY SOON.YOU WOULD THINK SINCE SOOOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN A MAZDA THEY WOULD HELP THEM TO FIX IT. A GUY AT A JUNKYARD ONCE TOLD ME HE WOULD BE A MILLIONAIRE IF HE COULD SUPPLY A TRANSMISSION TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CALL NEEDING ONE FOR THEIR MAZDA. THAT'S SICK...*AK
