#710795September 1, 1999
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.

#710446August 24, 1999
STEERING:RACK AND PINION, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BRAKE FAILURE- PURCHASED USED CARE 6/98, REPLACED BRAKE PADS 10/98, BRAKES FAILED 6/8/99 AND HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS (FRONT) AFTER ACCIDENT. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS- THE CAR BEGAN TO JUMP WHILE ACCELERATING FROM 0-30MPH, SO I PULLED OVER AND PARKED (7/20/99) AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT GO. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT I WAS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND ADVISED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR W/THE OVERDRIVE OFF AND THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THE CAR MOVES IN DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE HEARING KNOCKING NOISES WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, AND MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE ADVISE ME, BECAUSE THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS FOR A CAR THAT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 70K MILES. DOES THE MANAFACTURER HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY, BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SERVERAL SIMULAR COMPLAINTS.

#709937August 13, 1999
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.
