POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY TRANSMISSION RECENTLY WENT OUT (NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY). AFTER TAKING IT TO THE MECHANICS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, THE MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT MAZDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS THAT GETS THEM THRU TO WARRANTY. AFTER SPEAKING WITH HIM, I SPOKE TO A FRIEND THAT HAD A NEIGHBOR THAT HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH 2 DIFFERENT MODELS OF MAZDA CARS. (626 AND MPV). AFTER HE SPENT A COUPLE MONTHS TRYING TO GET MAZDA TO PAY FOR HIS TRANSMISSION, HE FOUND OUT THAT MAZDA ISSUED A "DEALER NOTICE" THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TO CONTACT THE MFG. FOR A TRANSMISSION REBUILD KIT. (MAZDA DOES NOT PAY FOR THIS OF COURSE, BECAUSE IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I JUST SPENT $1,800.00 ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD! IF MAZDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT CORRECTED IT, THEN THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING A RECALL AND FIXING THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT YOU FIND OUT. THANK YOU.*AK
