UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I WILL NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION CHAIN TO THE TUNE OF $800.00 AND AM HORRIFIED TO FIND OUT THAT NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED A RECALL OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE MAZDA 626. AFTER REVIEWING YOUR WEBSITE COMPLAINTS, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT NHTSA IS THINKING, I'M GUESSING THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED YET, THEREFORE THE DELAY IN CALLING A RECALL. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THIS AGAIN IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. ONLY HAVE 75,000 MILES, ORIGINAL OWNER AND THOUGHT I WAS DRIVING ONE OF THE SAFEST VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. SILLY ME

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR WENT AT 63000 MILES, TOLD BY THE DEALER "ROSENTHAL MAZDA" THAT THIS WAS COMMON. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, " THE 626'S ARE IN HERE ALL THE TIME TO HAVE THE TRANNIES REBUILT, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY YOURS LASTED TO 60K" BULLCRAP, SHOULDN'T THERE BE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY ON MAZDA/FORD'S PART. ALL OVER THE NET YOU SEE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANNY ON THIS PIECE OF CRAP YET THE NHTSA DOES NOTHING, WHAT A JOKE.
