POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 80,000. THE O/D LIGHT STARTED BILNKING ON I-59. I PULLED OVER BECAUSE THE CAR WAS JERKING AND ACTING VERY STRANGE. WHEN I OPENED MY HOOD, I NOTICED SMOKE. I THEN CLOSED MY HOOD AND SLOWLY DROVE TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RETURNED IT TO ME. ONE WEEK LATER A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE TWO GEARS GRINDING STARTED IN MY CAR AND THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO JERK INTO EACH GEAR. THIS JERKING WAS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT WOULD CAUSE MY HEAD TO BOUNCE BACK AND HIT THE HEAD REST. I THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS MY CV DRIVESHAFT. THEY REPLACED IT AND THE CLICKING CONTINUED. WHEN THEY PLACED IT ON THE RACK, THEY THEN REALIZED THAT THE CLICKING WAS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THEY DO NOT WORK ON TRANSMISSIONS, I HAD IT TOWED TO A RESPECTED TRANSMISSION SHOP. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT IT NEEDS ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THE USED ONE WILL COST ME $1800 AND A BRAND NEW ONE WILL COST ME $2800. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, I REALIZE THAT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS AN ON GOING ONE WITH MAZDA 626'S. I THINK THAT IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD THAT MAZDA DOESN'T NOT RECALL THIS PART SINCE IT IS VITAL TO THE CAR'S SAFETY. THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT IN TRAFFIC COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF 1999 MAZDA 626 AT 87,500 MILES. UNTIL NOW NO PROBLEMS EXISTED NOW DEALER WANTS $3,500 TO REBUILD TRANSMISSION. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE 1999 626 HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND MAZDA WILL NOT RECOGNIZE RECALL ON ALL CARS. *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:SHIFT PATTERN INDICATOR, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I PURCHASED A CAR IN APRIL 2001 (A USED CAR) AND HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR IT. CAR STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS IN 2002 SO I DECIDED TO USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO GET THE CAR FIXED ONCE IT BROKE DOWN ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY; I FOUND OUT THAT THE WARRANTY COMPANY NEVER HEARD OF ME AND THAT MY WARRANTY NEVER EXISTED. THE PLACE THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR FROM WENT OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE OF FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES, BUT THEY DID HAVE ONE OTHER CAR PLACE THAT WAS STILL OPERATING, SO I CALLED THAT PLACE AND EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF ME. THEY TRIED TWICE TOO FIX THE PROBLEM AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM, THE CAR IS STILL THE SAME WAY IT WAS WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEM. THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS SUPPOSE TO LAST 60 MONTHS OR 100,000 METERS WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. I USED MY CAR DAILY BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE COMPANY STILL WONT HONOR THE FAKE WARRANTY THAT I HAVE THAT WAS GIVEN BY THEM. MY TRANSMISSION ON THE CAR IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. THE COMPANY IS DICK GIDRON FORD/CADILLAC. THEY WERE ALL OVER THE NEWS FOR FRAUD. PLEASE HELP. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, IT IS A FORD TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND ARE AWARE THAT IT IS FAULTY, HOWEVER, REFUSED TO REPLACE. WHEN YOU REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION YOU ARE REPLACING IT WITH ANOTHER FAULTY TRANSMISSION LEMON AND SCHEME, HOW COULD THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS? *LA

I AM THE OWNER OF A 1995 MAZDA 626 AND THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD IN MY CAR ONCE AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR 3 TIMES IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS AND I AM UNABLE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND NOW I AM OUT OF 19, 500 THAT I PAID FOR THIS CAR. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 1997 MAZDA 626 LX. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED RIGHT AT 70,000 MILES. IT COST ME $2,600 TO GET IT FIXED. IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. I CHECKED AROUND AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHERS WHO HAVE ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURES UNDER 70,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY GET A TON OF THESE CARS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I FEEL MAZDA SHOULD COMPENSATE US FOR THESE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *LA

WHENEVER THE TRANSMISSION HEATS UP ON MY MAZDA 626 IT THEN JERKS, AND MOVING THE GEARS. THIS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED FOR A COMPLETE REBUILD OF THE TRANSMISSION AT 55,000 MILES AND I WAS ESTIMATED AT $3000 FOR THE REBUILD. I HAVE NOTICED MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS CAR WITH THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT. IT STARTED AROUND THANKSGIVING 2002 AND CONTINUES ON TO THIS DAY. *LA
