ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
STALLS AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM COMPLETE STOP, CAR ALSO STALLS WITHOUT WARNING IN INTERSECTIONS WHILE MAKING TURNS. "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT FLASHES BUT DOES NOT REMAIN ON, THEN CAR SUDDENLY JOLTS FORWARD. ALSO SHIFTS HARD AND JOLTS DURING DRIVING. MAZDA SERVICE DEPT. CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, SINCE THERE IS NO COMPUTER CODE TO INDICATE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. ALL REQUIRED MAINTANENCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED, GAS TANK IS FULL. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AS REQUIRED BY MANUFACTURER. HELP! MR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 1995 MAZDA 626 IN NOVEMBER OF 1998. THE MONTH AFTER A PURCHASED IT I STARTED TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. NOW AGAIN I AM STARTING TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 626. IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT. ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THEIR ALSO SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE OXYGEN SENSOR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 ALREADY. I THINK THIS CAR IS A MAJOR PIECE OF JUNK AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. TS

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FOR THE LAST FIVES YEARS, THE O/D LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY FLASHING. SOMETIMES THE O/D LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK, AND AT OTHER TIMES WHEN WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE MAZDA DEALER. WHENEVER THE O/D LIGHT IS FLASHING THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO JERK HARD WHEN IN REVERSE, ON STARTUP OR WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO A LOW GEAR. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN IDLE ON STARTUP OR WHILE IN DRIVE. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO RIDE THE BRAKES AND GAS UNTIL ITS ABLE TO MAINTAIN IDLE. SO FAR I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT ONCE BY MAZDA VIA AMMCO AND THE AIRFLOW SENSOR REPLACED TWICE BY MAZDA. UPON HAVING THE SECOND AIRFLOW SENSOR REPLACED, I WAS TOLD BY MAZDA THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FRIED AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED A SECOND TIME. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO AMMCO (STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY FROM THE FIRST REBUILDING) THEY SAID ALL THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED WAS CELLULOID. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THE VEHICLE RUNNING QUITE WELL, THE O/D LIGHT IS BACK ON FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE IS BACK TO ITS JERKING WAYS.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 37,000 OR 38,000 MILES. WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS TWICE BEFORE 50,000 MILES.1ST AT DEALERSHIP(80.00) 2ND BY MY HUSBAND 3,000 MILES AFTER THE 1ST TIME. 2 MTHS. LATER SAME PROBLEM NOT PLUGS BUT REPLACED SPARK PLUG WIRES. REPLACED FRONT ROTORS(SHOULD NOT BE REPLACED THAT EARLY) BEFORE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS WERE WORN DOWN COMPLETELY. PUT IN SHOP DEC. 01-COMPUTER SAID BAD O2 SENSOR REPLACED BOTH SENSORS(90.00) STILL SAME PROBLEM. CALLED MAZDA, FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MAZDA. THEY DID NOTHING. THEY SAID NOT ENOUGH FILES HAD BEEN ISSUED TO WARRANT A RECALL. I THINK THAT IS A LIE. ALL OVER THE INTERNET YOU FIND COMPLAINTS OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR MAZDA 626 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THESE CARS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THAT. IT IS A SHAME THAT MAZDA MAKES A PRODUCT AS THIS AND DOES NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT IT PRODUCES. THEY ARE JUST LAZY AND DO NOT CARE TO HELP THE PUBLIC. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD CARE ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION. THEY HAVE A VERY BAD REPUTATION WITH THE MAZDA 626 TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY DON'T EVEN SEEM TO CARE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND EVERYONE THAT STILL HAS PAPERWORK NEEDS TO BE REIMBURSED BY MAZDA FOR ALL THE MONEY PEOPLE HAVE PAID TO GET THEIR CARS FIXED. THANK GOODNESS WE GOT RID OF OURS A FEW MONTHS AGO. I TELL EVEYONE I KNOW THAT IS LOOKING INTO BUYING A CAR NOT TO GET A MAZDA.
