POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2000 MAZDA 626 WITH 65,000 MILES---TRANSMISSION FAILED ON INTERSTATE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. LOOKS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE JUDGING FROM POSTINGS ON THE WEB. $3,000 TO REPLACE--SHOULDN'T A TRANSMISSION LAST LONGER?

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WOULD LIKE TO E-MAIL YOUR COMPANY AN EXPRESS MY DISPLEASURE IN MY 1997 MAZDA 626. MY CAR HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE 48,000 MILES AND MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THIS SAYING THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX A PROBLEM THEY DON'T SEE. {IE: THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BOILED OVER AND OUT A BREATHER TUBE.} WELL THAT BEING SAID I NOW HAVE 62,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING MORE THAN EVER. NOW IT SEEMS TO ME WITH ALL THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THIS TRANSMISSION YOU SHOULD RECALL AND OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS FREE OF CHARGE AS I''VE NEVER DONE ANY THING TO RUIN THIS TRANSMISSION. AND 2500.00 DOLLARS IS A BIG CHUCK OF CHANGE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. THANK YOU, BRAD LORENZ

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE, AT 91K AND AT 120K. BOTH TIMES THE SYMPTOMS WERE THE SAME, AND VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE OF OTHER 626 TRANSMISSION FAILURES; JERKY SHIFTING, SHAKING AT IDLE, LOSS OF CERTAIN GEARS, ETC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
DT: THE VEHICLE NEEDED A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND TURNING THE KEY DOESN'T HELP AT ALL. THERE IS NO SOUND OF THE ENGINE TURNING ON. THE OWNER IS UPSET BECAUSE HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK RECALL CAMPAIGN# 90V118000. *SC *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I THOUGHT I WAS GTOOD TO GO AFTER INSTALLING MY THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IN MY 94 MAZDA 626, ONE YEAR LATER I AM IN THE SAME POSITION I WAS WHEN THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILED...GOING NOWHERE. FORTUNATELY IT MOVED ENOUGH TO GET TO DEALER WHERE I TRADED MY BELOVED CAR IN FOR A "NEWER" CAR...NO NOT A MAZDA 626.

AIR BAGS
DT: CONSUMER STATES SHE HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 7-8-05. SHE WAS HIT ON THE FRONT END OF HER CAR BY SOMEONE TRAVELING WEST. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND AS A RESULT THE CONSUMER WAS INJURED. SHE HAS NOT TALKED TO THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER. SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST THE PERSON WHO HIT HER WAS GOING. THE CONSUMER WAS GOING APPROX. 55-60 MPH. THERE HAD BEEN NO PREVIOUS AIR BAG PROBLEMS. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAD NOT COME ON. SHE DID APPLY HER BRAKES PRIOR TO IMPACT. SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT ON THE ACCIDENT. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WIFE WAS DRIVING 75 MPH ON TURNPIKE WHEN SHE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE WAS NO BLINKING LIGHTS, NO NOISE, NO ANYTHING TO ALERT HER THAT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. IT JUST QUIT. ADDITIONALLY, SHE WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN A HIGH SPEED REAR-END COLLISION. LUCKILY, THE INDIVIDUAL BEHIND HER SWERVED AND MISSED HER CAR. SHE COASTED TO THE SHOULDER WHERE SHE WAS, AGAIN, NEARLY HIT. ONCE STOPPED, SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO DO ANYTHING IN ANY GEAR. I HAD TO TRAVEL OVER AN HOUR TO GET HER. IT WAS 97 DEGREES AND SHE WAS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITHOUT ANY SHELTER EXCEPT FOR HER CRIPPLED VEHICLE. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED, SHE HAD BEEN IN THE HEAT LONG ENOUGH TO START EXPERIENCE MUSCLE CRAMPS FROM ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET SOMEONE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE ISSUES? IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT, MAZDA WOULD HAVE HAD A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS. IS THIS WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE? SOMEONE JUST NEEDS TO "COWBOY UP" AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. ADDITIONALLY, I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT IT WILL COST ABOUT $2000.00 TO FIX. THIS IS WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAS NEW PARTS AND SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO SUDDEN FAILURE LIKE THE OEM TRANSMISSIONS (PER THE TRANSMISSION SUPPLIER).

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 94 MAZDA 626 4 CYLINDER. IT HAS 116000 MILES AND NOW THE HOLD(O/D) LIGHT IS BLINKING, IT IS SHIFTING HARD, AND THE RPM'S ARE ACTING FUNNY BETWEEN GEARS. THIS JUST STARTED DURING A SHORT TRIP. THIS HAS BEEN AN OVERALL GOOD CAR, BUT THE TRANSMISSION IS SCREWED UP NOW. I HAVE HEARD THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO PAY $2500 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION JUST TO HAVE IT SCREW UP 30000 MILES FROM NOW. THE CD4E IS CRAP AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 1995 MAZDA 626 4CYL, 4DR, AUTOMATIC. THE O/D LIGHT STARTED FLASHING THE OTHER DAY AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION WILL ONLY SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE CAR IDLES WELL, BUT WHILE ON THE ROAD FOR MORE THAN 10 MINS (WHILE THE ENGINE GETS HEATED UP), THEN THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND JERKS TRYING TO GET INTO A GEAR. AFTER READING THE ISSUES ONLINE, AM PRETTY SURE THAT THE TRANSMISSION MAY HAVE TO BE REPLACED OR AT LEAST SOMETHING FIXED IN IT. LOOKING FOR SOME HELP...

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
1999 MAZDA 626 ES V6-PURCHASED USED IN 2003 AND HAVE HAD A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH OVERHEATING. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 85,819 MILES ON IT AND CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT AND NOW THE A/C BLOWS WARM AIR EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE COMPRESSOR AND SWITCH. WE HAVE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, RELAYS, FANS, WATER PUMP, FLUSHED OUT THE RADIATOR, FRONT AND REAR GASKETS, NEW AIR COMPRESSOR AND HAVE SPENT ABOUT $2500 IN REPAIRS ONLY TO BE TOLD BY THE MECHANIC HE IS OUT OF OPTIONS AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MAZDA IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION SINCE I AM READING ON THE INTERNET VARIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND SEE A PATTERN WITH THE PROBLEMS AND THESE VEHICLES. WHEN YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND EXPECT IT TO BE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND IT IS YOUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE SINCE THEIR IS A CONTIUING PROBLEM. MAZDA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE REPAIRS.
