SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
METAL BAR IN FRONT SEAT HEADRESTS ARE NOT COVERED BY CUSTIONING. FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS CAN FEEL THE METAL BAT ON THE BACKS OF THEIR HEADS. IN AN INCIDENT WHERE THE HEAD IMPACTS THE HEADREST, THERE IS NO CUSTIONING IN FRONT OF THE METAL TO ABSORB THE FORCE. WE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS OLD.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION IN MY 1997 MAZDA 626 LX SEDAN. I AM ONLY OWNER OF MY VEHICLE AND PURCHASED BRAND-NEW IN AUGUST 1997. I TOOK METICULOUS CARE OF THIS CAR AND HAVE ALL RECEIPTS TO PROVE SO. A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE O/D LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND CANNOT TRAVEL ABOVE 60 MILES PER HOUR. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, WHO RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FOR $2,000. I GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM THE MAZDA DEALER, WHO SUGGESTED THE SAME FOR $3,500-4,000. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS (OR MORE) PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME COSTLY DEFECT. I FEEL THAT MAZDA SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS CAR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, IT IS VERY UPSETTING. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRANSMISSION COMPLETED FAILED AT 70,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR IS THE INFAMOUS CD4E - USED ON THE FORD CONTOUR, PROBE, MERCURY MYSTIQUE, ETC... FROM WHAT I HEAR, THERE'S BEEN NOTHING BUT COMPLAINTS ON THESE FAILING PREMATURELY, COSTING DRIVER'S MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THE DEALER WANTED $3,500 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A NEW ONE. I INSTEAD WENT TO ANOTHER BUSINESS, AND HAD A USED CD4E PUT IN. (THE USED ONE HAD 17,000). NOW, AT 105,000, I'M STARTING TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AGAIN. IT'S SLUGGISH AT TIMES AND O/D FLASHES NOW AND THEN. THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE THE TRANSMISSION'S FAULT, BUT PERHAPS MAZDA'S IMPLEMENTATION OF IT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED TO MAZDA TO ISSUE SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION, ONLY TO BE IGNORED. ADD ME TO THAT LIST. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE CAR WAS GOING PRETTY SLOWLY. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS MORE, IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP. IT SLOWED TO A CRAWL THEN STOPPED. THE TRANSMISSION JUST DECIDED TO STOP. THIS IS ON A MAZDA 626. THERE WERE NO OTHER INDICATIONS OF THE FAILURE AND NOW I HAVE TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION!*AK
