WHILE DRIVING THIS WEEKEND "OVERDRIVE OFF" STARTED BLINKING ON MY DASH. CALLED SERVICE IN THE CITY VISITING AND THEY SAID I SHOULD HAVE IT CHECKED WHEN I RETURN HOME. I TOOK IT IN MONDAY EVENING AND WAS TOLD I NEED A COMPLETELY NEW TRANSMISSION (2500.00). A SALELSMAN TOLD ME THEY JUST HAD SOMEONE TRADE THE SAME MODEL IN WITH THE VERY SAME PROBLEM..... SHOULD A TRANSMISSION FAIL LIKE THAT WITH ONLY 75,000+ MILES ON IT?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
TEN DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE ON 10/20/98, IT WAS BOUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SELLER THAT THERE WAS DEFINITELY AN EXCELLERATION PROBLEM THAT NEEDED IMMEDIATE REPAIRS. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND AS SOON AS HE PROCEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE CAR WOULD HESITATE TO STOP (EVEN AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES). THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THAT IF IT CONTINUED I SHOULD GIVE THEM A CALL AND A MECHANIC WOULD TRY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I CALLED BACK TWO DAYS LATER AFTER ALMOST KILLING MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND POSSIBLY SOMEONE ELSE. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO HAVE THEIR MECHANICS LOOK AT IT. WELL, THREE DAYS LATER I PICKED UP MY CAR AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTED. I GAVE CAR THE ANOTHER 2 MONTHS OF DRIVING WITH CAUTION, UNTIL ALMOST ANOTHER TRAGGIC ACCIDENT OCCURED. I THEN DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE MAZDA DEALER TO GET EXPERT HELP, AFTER SPENDING $1000 WITH THEM, THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED AFTER 2-1/2 MONTHS LATER. I THEN PROCEEDED TO CONTACT THE DEALER AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE ANYBODY COULD DO. I AM VERY DESPERATE FOR SOME HELP IN THIS MATTER, ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIVES OF MYSELF AND CHILDREN AND OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BURUEA AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE FROM BOTH AGENCY'S. YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS
