NONE OF THE FIRST THREE PROBLEMS WERE CAUSING ANY SAFETY HAZARDS. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE MADE THE SHIFTING VERY JERKY AND RPM TO GO HIGH. I DID NOT TRY TO EXPERIMENT ON THIS ON THE HIGHWAY. DRIVING A MAZDA IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. NEVER BUY/LEASE OR RENT A MAZDA AGAIN.

#700070October 24, 1998
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
626 TAKEN TO MAZDA TO HAVE TRANSMISSION CHECKED FOR ROUGH SHIFTING AND CLUNKING NOISE. MAZDA SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE REPLACED, NEW TRANSMISSION ACTED IN THE SAME MANNER. MAZDA THEN DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL 4 MOTOR MOUNTS. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM EITHER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEN TOLD ME THAT ROUGH SHIFTING AND CLUNKING SOUNDS ARE NORMAL FOR THE 98'626. I FOUND THAT EXPLAINATION VERY HARD TO BELIEVE TO SAY THE LEAST, SO I AM MEETING WITH THE REGIONAL SALES REP FOR MAZDA IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RECTIFIED.
