POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION IN MY '96 MAZDA 626 IS SHOT AFTER 98,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS MAZDA WILL DO NOTHING AND EVERYTHING I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ANYONE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
TRANSMISSION FAILED IN YEAR 5 OF OPERATION FOR 1998 MAZDA 626. I AM AWARE THAT I AM NOT ALONE WITH MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM REGARDING 1994-1998 MAZDA 626S. THIS IS TOO SOON TO BE DISPOSING OF AN AUTOMOBILE BECAUSE OF A BIG TICKET ITEM. VERY DISAPPOINTED. WON'T EVER BUY MAZDA AGAIN. ALSO, FRONT, RIGHT AXLE JOINT WAS FAILING/LOOSE A YEAR AGO, 3 REPAIRS/AXLE REPLACEMENT AND $1000 LATER, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH IN MAZDA, OR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOCATED IN BURNSVILLE, MN.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ON MY MAZDA 626 HAS FAILED. THE CLUTCHES ARE NON OPERATIONAL AND SADLY IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL THERE IS NO REFERENCE TO ANY KIND OF MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. EVEN IN THE 30,000 AND 60,000 MILE CHECK UP THEY DO NOT CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OR SUGGEST THAT IT BE DONE. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 1999 MAZDA 626 WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT TODAY. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HERTZ RENTAL FOR MY DAUGHTER IN MARCH 2000 AND ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SOME RECALLS ON THIS CAR WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION.*AK SECONDLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY DAUGHTER HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (I THINK). FOR INSTANCE, WE TOOK THE CAR TO SAN FRANCISCO AND ALTHOUGH WE WERE FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO GO UP A SMALL HILL AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. ALSO, ON SEVERAL INSTANCES, MY DAUGHTER WOULD STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE (FROM AN INTERSECTION OR STOP) BUT THE ENGINE WOULD JUST REV UP AND THE CAR WON'T GO (SHE HAS TO TAKE HER FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE GETS TO A LOWER RPM AND THEN SLOWWWWLY STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MAKE THE CAR GO). I CHECK THE INTERNET TODAY AND WAS SURPRISED TO SEEE SO MANY MAZDA 626 OWNERS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITHOUT A RECALL FROM MAZDA. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET MAZDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR HAVE THE NHTSA FORCE MAZDA TO FIX THESE DEFECTS? I WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO THAT THE NHTSA AND MAZDA IS AWARE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR MAZDA'S IRRESPONSIBILITY.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON I75, I HAD NOTICED THAT MY O/D LIGHT HAD STARTED TO FLASH. THE CAR SEEMED OKAY, BUT THE O/D CONTINUED TO FLASH. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PASSING A TRUCK WITH AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER RIGHT BEHIND ME AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF STARTED TO HAPPEN. THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. THEN THE BATTERY AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE THAT HAPPEN, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. AFTER CALLING STEPPS AND HAVING MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, HE ADVISED ME THAT I HAD BURNED UP THE TRANSMISSION. SOMETHING BLEW INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSED A FUSE TO BLOW AND THIS CAUSE THE MOTOR TO TURN OFF. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE HE RECALLS THIS HAPPENING TO ANOTHER CLIENT. HE HAS GIVEN ME A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT COSTS RAINGING FROM $1800 ON UP. I AM SHOCKED TO READ ALL OF THE POSTS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE 123,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND AM SURPRISED THIS DIFFERENT HAPPEN SOONER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.*AK

MY 1999 MAZDA 626 HAS 72000 MILES ON IT AND THE O/D LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP TO BE PREPARED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMER OUT THERE THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE TRANSMISSION AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I PUT FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN YOU THAT THIS WILL BE LOOKED INTO TO AND THAT A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE. THANKS. *NLM
