I HAVE A 2001 MAZDA 626. THE OVER DRIVE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, WITHIN 15 MINUTES I WAS AT THE DEALER. I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF FAILURE. THE LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. I PUT AN EXTERNAL TRANSMISSION RADIATOR AND THE LIGHT HAS NOT TURNED ON. I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES 4 TIMES IN SIX MONTHS. THEY SAY IT IS MY DRIVING. HOW CAN THIS BE? ONCE IT TOOK THEM A WEEK TO PUT BRAKE PADS. THAT MONDAY THEY SAID IT NEEDED ROTORS AND DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THAT FRIDAY I PICKED UP MY CAR AND THEY SAID IT DID NOT NEED ROTORS AFTER ALL!!! THEY RENTED ME A CAR, 2 MONTHS LATER MY CREDIT CARD WAS CHARGED FOR THE WEEKS RENTAL. BESIDES THIS THE NATIONAL CITY MILE OF CARS WESCOTT MAZDA-KIA DEALER ARE SEXIST AND DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WOMEN. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE GUY (TOM) CALLED ME AN ASS AND NEVER APOLOGIZED EVEN AFTER I TOLD HIS BOSS. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OD OFF LIGHT ON OUR 2000 MAZDA 626 LX STARTED FLASHING. TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER (BERGE MAZDA IN MESA AZ) AND THEY DIAGNOSED A CODE P1718- TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. THEY RECOMMEND TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLER KIT AND PERFORM A TRANSMISSION SERVICE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM(ESTIMATE GIVEN -$1014.00-WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!!). WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP (EARNHARDT'S FORD/MAZDA IN CHANDLER AZ) TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND THEY MADE THE SAME RECOMMENDATIONS. BOTH DEALERS STATED THAT MAZDA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM (CD4E TRANSMISSION) AND ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH A TRANSMISSION COOLING KIT INSTALL. WE DECIDED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT EARNHARDT'S (TOTAL COST $344.00-MORE REASONABLE ESTIMATE). WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT HERTZ CAR SALES IN NOV 2001 WITH ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT IT, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER(BERGE MAZDA) BECAUSE IT WAS SLIPPING. SINCE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY(3 YR/50,000 MILES), WE DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY THE COST OF REPAIRS. OUR CAR CURRENTLY HAS 51000 MILES AND SINCE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, WE HAD TO SHOULDER THE COST THIS TIME. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT MAZDA TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE MAZDA WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION AND REMEDIED IT BY INSTALLING THE TRANSMISSION COOLING KIT FREE OF CHARGE TO CONSUMERS.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY SISTER AND I OWN A 1999 MAZDA 626 LX. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF TOWN WHEN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO MOVE I HAD TO PUT IT IN OVERDRIVE. ONCE THE CAR WAS GOING AT 60 MPH IT WAS OKAY BUT GOING ANY FASTER AND THE OD LIGHT WOULD START FLASHING. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE A MAJORITY OF MY FRIENDS THAT OWN MAZDA'S HAD TRANSMISSION WORK DONE. SINCE MAZDA/FORD WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBIBLITY FOR FAULTY WORK THE OWNERS OF THESE CRAPPY CARS ARE LEFT WITH HUGE BILLS. WE HAVE TO PAY 1450.00 FOR THIS. I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO FILE A LAWSIUT BECAUSE IF SO MANY CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING THEN THEY NEED TO TAKE ACTION ASAP.*AK

I BROUGHT A USED MAZDA 626 5 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE HAD TWO TRANSMISSIONS PUT INTO IT AND IT IS NOW SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN. FIRST THE O/D LIGHT WOULD START BLINKING AND I WOULD LOSE GEARS. THEN ALL OF THE GEARS WOULD JUST COMPLETELY GO. MY CAR ALSO SHAKES WHILE IDLING. AND THE BRAKES ARE ABOUT TO GO OUT. THEY CATCH AND GO. *AK
