POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 78,000 MILES. REBUILT INSTALLED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. FAILED AGAIN AT 90,000 MILES. WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE UNLESS I SPEED UP ENGINE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HI MY NAME IS [XXX].I BOUGHT MY MAZDA 626,1998 FROM NISSAN DEALER RATED NUMBER 1 IN SANTA BARBARA CALIFORNIA.WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE ODOMETER REGISTERED 82500 MILES. I PAID 9800 TO BUY THE CAR. AFTER DRIVING ONLY 10000 MILES THE CAR BROKE DOWN. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC HE TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN AND THAT WAS GOING TO COST ME 2300 TO REPLACE IT. WHEN HE FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR HAD ONLY 10000 MILES AFTER I HAD BOUGHT FROM THE DEALER HE ASKED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND SEE IF THEY CAN HELP ME WITH THE COST. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED.THAY TOLD ME THAT I DIDN'T HAD WARRANTY AND THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO HELP ME. SO I ENDED UP PAYING 2300 DOLLARS FOR MY CAR .I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN CHEATED AND I THIS MODEL MAZDA 626 SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR MAZDA (TRANSMISSION BREAK DOWN).*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BOUGHT '97 MAZDA 626 LX USED WITH ONLY 67000 MILES ON IT. SOON THE "O/D OFF" LAMP KEEPS BLINKING AND IT CHANGES GEAR ROUGHLY. IT IS SAID THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL SOON AND WILL DO NO GOOD EVEN IF YOU CHANGE THE TRANNY WITH $$$$. IT IS REALLY ASTOUNDING TO FIND SO MANY PEPOLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN JUST ONE FORUM: HTTP://WWW.CARTRACKERS.COM/FORUMS/LIVE/YOURLEMON/189.HTML MANY PEOPLE HAD EVEN WORSE EXPERIENCES THAN MINE. I AM WONDERING WHAT THIS MODEL IS IF IT IS NOT A LEMON? HOPE YOU TAKE NECESSARY MEASURE BEFORE IT KILLING PEOPLE BY SUDDENLY BROKEN DOWN IN THE INTERSTATE. (IF NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED YET). *AK

THIS VEHICLE HAD 3 TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED. ALSO, VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT ANY GIVEN TIME. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, AND NO ONE WANTED TO HELP HIM . CONSUMER HAD TO PAY $3300.00 FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. CONSUMER WAS AFRAID FOR HIS DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY WAY SHE HAD TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL. IN ADDITION, CONSUMER'S WIFE ALSO DROVE THIS VEHICLE, AND CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY. *AK

I OWN A 1996 MAZDA 626 THAT I PURCHASED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AT 20K IN 1999. MY TRANSMISSION FINALLY JUST FAILED AT 101K AND I SPENT $2000 FOR A REBUILT TRANS. THE OD LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR OVER 12 MONTHS BUT WOULD GO OFF WHEN CAR IS RESTARTED.I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THE CHRONIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 626 AND WILL GET RID OF IT ASAP. BEFORE THIS MAJOR FAILURE, I HADN'T NOTICED ANY TRANSMISSION-RELATED PROBLEMS BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MAZDA/FORD.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1998 MAZDA 626 - TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 91000 MILES. WITH PROPER FLUID LEVELS AND FLUID CHANGE AT 50K MILES, THE TRANSMISSIONS STILL EXPERIENCED A MAJOR MELTDOWN! NUMEROUS PARTS DESTROYED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL GEAR FELL APART. I'M VERY UPSET WITH THE $2,800 BILL TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER FAILED. WHILE CALLING NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS, I QUICKLY FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE CD4E TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO VERY DISAPPOINTED AT MAZDA'S RESPONSE TO A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS! BASICALLY..."SORRY, NOT OUR FAULT". HOPEFULLY THIS COMPLAINT CAN BE USED TO HELP MAKE MAZDA MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR A PRODUCT THEY KNOW TO BE BAD.*AK

I BROUGHT MY MAZDA 626 LX ON 6/1/01 WITH ABOUT 33,000 MILES, SINCE THEN I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIMING BELT AT 44,000 DUE TO THE TENSION PIN.MEANWHILE, I HAVE MADE NUMBEROUS AMOUNTS OF REPAIRS TO THIS CAR. AT ABOUT AROUND 70,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS MAKING A POPPING NOISE AND THE CAR BEGAN JERKING WHEN UNDER 30 MPH. NOW THE O/D LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF AND MY CAR STARTS SMOKING.*AK

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD 3 TRANSMISSIONS TO MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I AM NEEDING A 4TH TRANSMISSION. SHIFTS HARD ON DOWNSHIFTS TO UPSHIFTS USUALLY AT 2ND GEAR. MAKES A HUMMING NOISE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER PUT 2 TRANS. IN AND THE SAME IS OCCURRING AGAIN. BRAKES ARE ALSO MESSED UP- SQUICKS HORRIBLE EVEN WHEN I JUST PUT NEW ONES, STRUTS ARE ALL OUT, HAVE HAD IN MY FIRST YR OF PURCHASED, THREE TRANSMISSIONS, 1 AIR CONDITIONER REPLACED, 1 ROOF LINER WAS TO SHORT REPLACED, 1 RECALL, REVERSE SOMETIMES WORKS- YOU HAVE TO REGEAR IT TO MAKE SURE IT IS ON REVERSE-CAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO GO FORWARD WHEN YOU WANT TO BACKWARDS, I HAVE TO AT TIMES PUT THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL TO START MY CAR- BECAUSE IT WON'T START ON PARK AT TIMES. I AM A VERY DISSATISSIFED CUSTOMER WHO WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER MAZDA CAR AGAIN. MY CAR NEEDS ANOTHER TRANSMISSION TO IT. I HAVE PROOF OF ALL WORK DONE TO THIS LEMON FROM THE DEALERS. *AK
