POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IN JUNE OF 2000 I WAS VISITING FAMILY IN DETROIT. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THEY GOT A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FROM MAZDA, WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS A PROBLEM THEY HAD WITH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TRANSMISSION. TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER MY O/D LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF, AND THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED YET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THIS IS MY THIRD TRANSMISSION, AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR SINCE 1999.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ACTS UP SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. IT GOES INTO HIGH RPM AND THEN JERKS INTO 2ND GEAR. AFTER DRIVING FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THE O/D (OVERDRIVE) LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH AND IT ONLY TURNS OFF IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. A MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT IT AND SAYS THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION ACTING INCONSISTENTLY.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
MY TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2001 MAZDA 626 THIS WEEK. I HAD A PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE INTERNAL COOLANT IN 2003 WHICH ALSO COST ME MONEY. LAST WEEK I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. I DO NOT FEEL THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING SHOULD OCCUR IN A 2001 AUTOMOBILE WHEN REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS KEPT UP. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING OUR 1999 MAZDA 626 ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FOR AN HOUR, THE O/D DASH LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING. AFTER PULLING OVER I DISCOVERED TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD SPILLED OUT FROM VENT TUBING. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME AND INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION OUT. WE GOT SEVERAL OTHER OPINIONS WHICH INCLUDED REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION AT $1800. WE WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVED FROM OUR DEALERSHIP ON THIS PROBLEM AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME AND WORSE SITUATIONS (VERY COSTLY TRANSMISSION REPAIRS ).*JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 1996 MAZDA 626 HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE, IT FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING. I CONTACTED MAZDA AND FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS COMMON WITH THAT MODEL TRANSMISSION AND VEHICLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT ANY REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED, TO BE CORRECT IT WAS REBUILT. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF FORD AND MAZDA KNOW THAT THERE OR PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS WHY DON'T THEY EXTEND WARRANTIES AND INFORM THERE CUSTOMERS. SECONDLY WHY HASN'T THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STEPPED IN AND FORCED THEM TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. MY PARENTS ON A HONDA ACCORD, HONDA HAS ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR V6 TRANSMISSIONS, MY PARENTS CAR HAD PROBLEMS AFTER 50,000 MILES. HONDA REPLACED THEIR TRANSMISSION WITH AND UPDATED ONE AND EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FOR AN ADDITIONAL 100,000 MILE AFTER THE REPAIR. I FEEL THAT FORD AND MAZDA SHOULD DO THE SAME THING. WITH YOUR HELP I HOPE THAT WILL HAPPEN. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I STOPPED FOR FUEL. I GOT IN THE CAR TO LEAVE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AAMCO . TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER WERE REPAIRED. TWO WEEKS LATER, I HAD TO RETURN TO AAMCO AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS AGAIN REPLACED. THIS IS A WELL MAINTAINED CAR AND NOT ABUSED. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. AAMCO SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD OVERHEATED CAUSING THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO APPARENT SLIPPAGE PRIOR TO THE EVENT. *JB
