POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING MY 1995 MAZDA 626 TO WORK ON 08/05/2004 AND ABOUT A MILE FROM WORK, MY O/D OFF LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. ONCE I GOT TO WORK, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I CALLED A MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY MY TRANSMISSION AND IT MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN WENT ON CARTRACKERS.COM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MOST MAZDA 626'S. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND SURELY CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE A PAYMENT ON A NEW VEHICLE. PLEASE MAKE MAZDA CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM!!!*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 1995 MAZDA 626 WITH 04,000 ON 106,000 THE TRANSMISSION WENT. I FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FOR THIS CAR IS REALLY A FORD CD4E. ALL OVER THE INTERNET THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION. I HAVE PAID $2,500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION IT IS BEING INSTALLED NOW. WHEN WILL THERE BE A RECALL?*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILURE AROUND 1999. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT ($2300). HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT IN MAY 2003. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN JUNE 2004 ($1700). I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAD THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, SHE HAD NEVER ENDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. EVENTUALLY SHE TRADED THE CAR IN BECAUSE IT WAS COSTING HER MORE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE THAN THE WORTH OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
CAR DETAILS: MAZDA ODEL 626, YEAR OF MFG: 1995, 4 DOOR, AUTO TRANSMISSION, NO. OF MILES (TILL THE DATE OF COMPLAINT): 87,410 MILES. THIS IS A USED CAR AND I BOUGHT IT IN DECEMBER 2003. THE MILES ON THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT WAS ABOUT 84,500. *AK PROBLEM: 1) EVENTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE: THERE WAS A SLIP IN THE CAR EVERY TIME THE CAR WAS STARTED FROM REST. I SHOWED IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED THE PROBLEM TO BE DUE TO NEW BRAKE PADS WHICH I HAD GOT CHANGED ABOUT TWO MONTHS BACK.I USE THE CAR MAINLY INSIDE THE CITY AND IT WAS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE. I DROVE IT ONLY ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES (THIS WAS ON THE DAY OF COMPLAINT) AND WHILE COMING ON THE WAY I SAW THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING LOT OF JERKS WHENEVER I SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED AT ANY SIGNAL. ALSO THE PICK UP OF THE CAR WAS VERY POOR. THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT PICK THE POWER THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCING AND I HAD A PROBLEM EVEN GETTING TO 30 MPH. AS SOON AS I SAW THIS I DID NOT DRIVE ANY FURTHER. THE VERY NEXT DAY I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. 2) THE FAILURE: THE TRASMISSION OIL IN THE CAR WAS LOW, THE GEAR TEETH IN THE TRANSMISSION WERE BROKEN; THE CLUTCH PLATES WERE WORN OUT; THE LEFT AXEL HAD EATEN AWAY THE SLEEVE OF THE TRANSMISSION ON THE LEFT SIDE.THE WORN OUT METAL (OF THE GEAR) WAS SUPPOSEDLY CARRIED OVER TO OTHER PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSED SOME OTHER GEARS TO GET DAMAGED. 3) PRESENTLY THE CAR AND THE OLD TRANSMISSION BOTH ARE WITH MY MECHANIC. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY DECISION SO FAR AS THE COST OF REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION IS MORE THAN THE COST OF THE CAR ITSELF.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 1995 MAZDA 626 NEW. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR ONLY A FEW MONTHS AND LESS THAN 3,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THEY REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE CAR LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT THEY AGREED TO FIX IT. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN THREE TIMES PREVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS, BUT EACH TIME THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THAT THEY HAD FIXED IT. RECENTLY, I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS BECAUSE I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. NO ONE SHOULD EVER BUY A MAZDA AGAIN! I HAVE SEEN THE NUMEROUS POSTS REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND EACH OF THEM DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED TO MINE. THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT FLASHES OFF AND ON, IT HAS DIFFICULTY GOING INTO GEAR, IT STALLS BETWEEN GEARS AND CONSTANTLY LEAKS TRANSMISSION FLUID. MAZDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION!*AK

I OWN A 1995 MAZDA 626, IT HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND THE O/D OFF LIGHT FLASES, OIL LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY, IT SHIFTS ERADICALLY, AND IT'S LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY MECHANIC SAYS I CAN KEEP REFILLING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, BUT IT SHOULD ONLY LAST ANOTHER 2000 MILES. OR I COULD PAY ALMOST THE SAME AMOUNT I PAID FOR THE CAR TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION.*AK
