POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE CONTACTED MAZDA DIRECTLY. THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE CD4E TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE CARS EVEN THOUGH ALL REPAIR SHOPS CONTACTED WARN NOT ONLY OF 70+% FAILURE RATE, BUT WARN NOT TO BUY MAZDA REBUILT BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL NOT REPAIRING THE DEFECTS IN THE TRANNY. SAME FAILURE RATE CAN BE FOUND IN THE POST 1995 AND UP FORD CONTOUR WHICH SHARES THE SAME TRANSMISSION. MFR REFUSES TO BE OF ANY HELP. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN PROCEED.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IN AUGUST, 1997 AT 49,560 MILES THE O/D LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE CAR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD BY LES MARKS CHEVROLET THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. WELL IN NOVEMBER, 2000 AT 101,702 MILES THE O/D LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD (BY TRANSMISSION MAGICIAN) THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I AM SPENDING $1,774.00 TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. I CONTACTED MAZDA CORPORATION AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ABNORMALLY.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 5 WEEKS AGO FROM A SMALL CAR DEALER AND TWO WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING. I TOOK THE CAR TO TIM MARBURGER MAZDA IN CONCORD, NC TO HAVE THEM PLACE IT ON THE COMPUTER TO BE CERTAIN THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH IT WAS. THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD OVERHEATED AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $2835.00. IN DOING RESEARCH THROUGH TELEPHONE AND THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. IN FACT, WHILE I WAS AT THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP, A CUSTOMER WHO WAS WAITING TOLD ME SHE HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION IN THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I PULLED UP THE WEBSITE, WWW.DUSTBURY.COM/626/TRANS.HTML AND DISCOVERED THAT MAZDA HAD AN INFORMAL RECALL ON THE '94 626'S DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I HAVE A CAR THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT ON THAT NEEDS MAJOR REPAIR AND I FEEL THAT WITH THE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, MAZDA SHOULD BEAR SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN
MY CAR/TRANSMISSION IS AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. YOU NEVER KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO PULL OUT SAFELY IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAD IT REPLACED LAST YEAR AT A COST OF $2,200 AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. HAD THE SPEEDOMETER GEAR SET REPLACED BY RECALL AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. HAD A NEW NUETRAL SAFETY SWITCH REPLACED TODAY ALONG WITH THE "NEW" TRANSMISSION NOT HAVING ENOUGH FLUID WHICH CONSITUTED A FLUSHING OF THE SYSTEM AND MORE FLUID BEING PUT IN. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP TODAY, MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. CALL DEARLERSHIP, NOW THEY TELL ME I NEED TO BRING IN MONDAY TO HAVE THE "02" SENSOR REPLACED. MY COSTS ARE CLIMBING OVER $3,000 NOW. ALL I WANT IS A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. I'M A SINGLE MOM RAISING TWO CHILDREN AND THIS IS DRAINING ME, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND FINANCIALLY. I'VE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 15 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND ONE-HALF FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CAR IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR SPEED IS GOING TO INCREASE OR IF ITS GOING TO START JERKING AND HAVE TRANSMISISON FAILURE. DEALERSHIP ADMITS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION AND MAZDA IS AWARE OF IT, BUT SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE MAZDA RESPONSIBLE. THE CAR IS A TICKING TIME BOMB, I JUST HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT, OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED, BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISISON DEFECT.
