POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILED, COMPLETELY OUT OF NOWHERE AT 110,000 MILES WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2000 MAZDA 626 SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER THAN THAT. IT COST ME $1600.00. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2000 MAZDA 626 HAS JUST EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM THAT MAZDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS AND ISSUED A TSB #05-005/02 FOR- BLINKING OVERDRIVE/HOLD LIGHT ON DASH, TRANSMISSION FLUID SQUIRTING OUT OF THE DIPSTICK AND JERKY SHIFTING WHEN DRIVEN LONG DISTANCES. MAZDA SHOULD BE HELD FINANCIALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN HAVE THIS TROUBLE WITH THE MAZDA 626 SINCE THE 1994 MODEL AND STILL PRODUCES THEM WITH THIS FAULT. *NM

1. MAZDA TRANSMISSION: CAN NOT CHANGE THE FILTER. ONLY DURING THE REBUILDING OF THE TRANSMISSION CAN THE FILTER BE CHANGED. 2. PLUGGED FILTER CAUSES THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO DESTRUCT AT ANY TIME. THE CAR CAN STALL ANY WHERE ANYTIME. 3. WAS REPLACED WITH REBUILT TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF 2500.00. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, INTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ACTUALLY I HAVE LIVED WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE APPROX. YR.2003 ONE DAY I ADJUSTED THE LEVER FOR THE BRIGHTS OR INDICATOR AND IT FELT AS IF IT DISENGAGED AND WAS LOOSE FROM THEN ON. IT SEEMS THAT THE LIGHT SWITCH WHICH CONNECTS WITH THE INDICATOR SIGNALS, INTERMITTENTLY THE LEFT HEADLIGHT WOULD GO IN AND OUT (MUST HAVE REPLACE IT THREE TIMES UNTIL MY HUSBAND REALIZED IT WASN'T THE BULB BUT THE SWITCH SEEMED TO HAVE BROKEN LOOSE)UNTIL RECENTLY THE INDICATOR SWITCH WOULD SHUT OUT THE LIGHTS ONCE I COMPLETE A TURN AND THE SWITCH RE-ADJUST IN PLACE. THIS WOULD HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY WITH THE BRIGHTS ON ALSO. IT WOULD VARY AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY HAPPEN. NOW THE SWITCH FOR THE BRIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY MAZDA 626 ES, 2000 4 CYLINDER, NEED TO HAVE IT'S TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN. IT BROKE ONE YEAR AGO IN OCT 2005 AND THIS YEAR IT HAS BROKEN ONCE MORE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. A YEARLY TRANSMISSION CHANGE IS OVERKILL SINCE I DON'T REALLY DRIVE IN HIGH STOP AND GO SITUATIONS, DO DUE DILIGENT MAINTENANCE, AND DO NOT DRIVE IN A MANNER WHICH WOULD TAX THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE, BECAUSE OF THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE, THAT IS A PRODUCT DEFECT AND CAUSES AN UNDUE COST TO CONSUMERS. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2000 MAZDA 626 HAS 112,800 MILES. SIX MONTHS AGO THE VEHICLE HAS 100,000 MILE SERVICE AND THE DEALER RECOMMENDED I INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLER. I ASKED WHY AND HE DIDN'T OFFER ANYTHING OTHER THAN IT WAS A GOOD IDEA. NOW MY O/D LIGHT IS FLASHING AND THE TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKING. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BURNED OUT. MAZDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS, THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THIS BUT THE CONSUMERS DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A RECALL OR AT LEAST A BROADCAST WARNING TO CONSUMERS. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION REPAIRED FOR SUPPOSED LEAK IN MARCH 2006 AT DEALERSHIP AND WAS NOT CALLED IN UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEN IN AUG. 2006 CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN PUT IN ANY GEAR, THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW CLOSED AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OF WHY THEY CHARGED ME WITH WARRANTY WORK, ALSO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP IS 75 MILES AWAY, I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND ON A FIXED INCOME I CANNOT AFFORD TO TOW IT THEN MAKE REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE FALLEN UNDER WARRANTY WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALSO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT JULY 1, 2006. I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL ROUTES TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED AND FEEL I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF MY MAZDA. *JB
