POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION IS A POOR PRODUCT. AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE I HAVE RETURNED 6 PREVIOUS TIMES TO GET IT REPAIRED AGAIN. FORD/MAZDA SHOULD STAND BY THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BOUGHT THE MAZDA (I HATE THE CAR NOW) FROM A PRIVATE OWNER WHO HAD MAINTAINED THE CAR VERY WELL (HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS) AT 70,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN AFTER 2 WEEKS. REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE/REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. COST $2100.00. RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MOSTLY ALL MAZDA CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOTHING IS BEING DONE. SOMEBODY SHOULD TAKE SERIOUS ACTION BECAUSE IT POSES SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE IT COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WAS ABOUT 2 MILES FROM HOME, ACCELERATING FROM A TURN. TRANSMISSION WENT "CLUNK" THEN NOTICIBLE HESITATION WHEN APPLYING GAS. WHEN CAR WAS PARKED, SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. CHECKED AND NOTICED "BURNED" TRANNIE FLUID COVERING COMPONENTS. HAD CAR TOWED TO JAPANESE AUTO. REPAIR SERVICE. TOLD NEEDED NEW TRANNIE. HAD TOWED TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP PROVIDED NEW TRANNIE, RADIATOR AND COOLANT SWITCH B/C COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT RADIATOR WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO HELP COOL TRANNIE. MAZDA COVERED PARTS, BUT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO THAT I NEED TO PAY LABOR AND GET TIMING BELT, GASKETS AND SEALS CHANGED. OVERALL I AM PLEASED WITH MAZDA'S ACTION, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE KNOWN THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR COMBO. FYI. TOM NASO'S STAFF WAS EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL. I APPRECIATED ALL THEIR WORK.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE GEAR CHANGE IS VERY JERKY AND AT HIGH SPEEDS AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINS IT GETS EVEN MORE JERKY AS IF SOMEONE HAS HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IT GETS RISKY AS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC CONDITIONS THE SUDDEN GEAR JERKS ARE SO SEVERE THAT THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD AND GETS VERY CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT. *AK

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE 1996 MAZDA 626 TRANSMISSION TO FAIL ON ME, BUT I AM NOT THE ONLY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT MAZDA KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT FAILS TO DO A RECALL. PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY CARS WITHOUT THEIR TRASNMISSION DYING ON THEM AT ONLY 50,000. PLEASE DO WHATEVER YOU CAN. MAZDA IS STEALING FROM THE PUBLIC. *AK
