I'VE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE 03/2001. I PURCHASED IT NEW FROM MARLIN MAZDA. THIS CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE SUNROOF AND CORNER ROOF BETWEEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER DOOR LEAKED WATER WHEN IT WOULD RAIN. JANUARY 2003 MY CAR RAN HOT, THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT BLOWING.THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE HEAD ON MY ENGINE AND THAT SOME HOSE WAS NOT CONNECTED, THIS IS WHY MY AIR WASN'T BLOWING? MY CAR STALLED ON ME 08/27/03. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR WASN'T EVEN HOT. TOWED TO MARLIN MAZDA.I PAID FOR NEW BATTERY. I ASKED THEM TO CHAECK UNDER HOOD TO BE SURE NO OTHER PROBLEMS, THEY TOLD ME AT LEAST $500 TO CHECK ENGINE THOROUGHLY? WEEK LATER STALL AGAIN. THIS TIME TOWED TO OCEAN MAZDA,KNOCKING NOISE UNDER HOOD, THEY SAID IT IS THE ENGINE AND OIL PUMP. THEY TRIED TO LOOK UP FACTORY WARRANTY, THEY'RE NOT REPAIRING IT BECAUSE MARLIN MAZDA VOIDED MY WARRANTY(MARLIN SAID SLUDGE IN ENGINE/ CODE W8.) THAT WAS A LIE! I HAVE BEEN GETTING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR. OCEAN MAZDA CHECKED ENGINE NO SLUDGE BUT THEY CAN'T DO REPAIR WORK WITHOUT WARRANTY. THEY TRIED TO CALL DISTRICT MANAGER BECAUSE CODE W8 DOES NOT EXIST!!! ALSO, I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO RECORD OF? I HAVE SPOKEN TO MAZDA AMERICAN CREDIT TO GET COPIES OF LOAN PAPERS THAT SHOWS PURCHASE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. I GUESS THE NEXT STEP IS A LAW SUIT. AFTER ALL THESE HEADACHES I DON'T EVEN WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE. I AM ALREADY PAYING A HIGH CAR NOTE FOR EXTRA COVERAGE AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE DESCENCY TO REPAIR MY CAR.

MY 1998 MAZDA 626 4CL 2.0 ENGINE HAS APPROX. 71K MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION STARTING HAVING PROBLEMS IN AUGUST 2003, AT WHICH POINT WE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED,& THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED. THE MECHANIC TOLD US TO DRIVE IT A LITTLE WHILE AND LET THE CONDITIONERS TAKE EFFECT, BUT THE CAR SHOWS NO DIFFERENCE IN DRIVING. THE O/D LIGHT FLASHES NOW ON OCCASION, AND THE RPM GOES UP TO 4 OR 5 BEFORE IT SHIFTS TO A HIGHER GEAR. WE ARE NOT DRIVING IT NOW..ITS BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY FOR A WEEK & A HALF. I CALLED THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND BEFORE SEEING THE CAR THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY THATS GOOD THRU 90K, BUT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HONOR IT, I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE THE CHANCE IF THE WARRANTY COMPANY DOSENT REIMBURSE ME. THIS IS OUR ONLY CAR, AND I STILL HAVE 2 YEARS OF PAYMENTS LEFT. AFTER READING 56 PAGES OF COMMENTS ON-LINE WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAVE NO FAITH THAT A NEW TRANNY WOULD EVEN SOLVE THE PROBLEM...IT LOOKS AS THOUGH EVEN WITH A REBUILT ONE THEY GO OUT RIGHT AFTER THE REBUILT WARRANTY. I HAVE NOT SEEN A CARFAX ON MY CAR, BUT I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TRANSMISSION. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR WITHOUT SELLING THIS ONE, BUT HOW CAN I SELL A CAR THAT DOSEN'T RUN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW MAZDA 626 LX 2001 MODEL ON AUGUST 19, 2001 AT MAGNUSSEN'S FORD/NISSAN/MAZDA DEALERSHIP IN NEWARK CA. LITTLE DID I KNOW, I BOUGHT A LEMON!!!!! I RETURNED THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES AND TELLING THE SERVICE DEPT PEOPLE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND OVERRUNNING IN GEAR. AT ONE POINT, I HAD A FRIEND OF MINE DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MEET WITH THE SERVICE DEPT PEOPLE. THIS WAS THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2001. RUDY DIEPHUS COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS GETTING A SONG AND DANCE FROM THE MAGNUSSEN SERVICE DEPT. RUDY BUILT AND DROVE RACE CARS FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS, AND KNEW I HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER BOB (WHO IS NO LONGER THERE) SAID THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE BROKEN IN, NOT ENOUGH MILES ON THE CAR. BOB ALSO SAID THAT ALL MAZDA 626'S DRIVE LIKE THIS (TRANSMISSION SLIPPING/OVERRUNNING IN GEAR). IN ADDITION, I WAS TOLD TO KEEP A JOURNAL OF EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED. THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM, WRITING AND DRIVING AT THE SAME TIME. AGAIN, RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO MAGNUSSEN'S AND MET WITH A DIFFERENT SVC MANAGER. HERE IT IS APRIL 2002, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION TECH WAS GOING TO RUN A SPECIAL TEST ON THE CAR (LINE PRESSURE CHECK AT IDLE AND STALL SPEEDS). SURE ENOUGH, I WAS RIGHT! THE TEST INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIPS LOT, THE CAR WAS (AND IS) RUNNING WORSE THAN EVER. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST. I RETURN THE CAR AND THE CAR STAYS THERE FOR ANOTHER WEEK. I PICKED UP THE CAR ON APRIL 26, 2002, (RUNNING WORSE) AND DROVE TO VACAVILLE ABOUT 100 MILES ONE WAY FROM WHERE I WAS LIVING. I FELT SOMETHING FUNNY UNDER THE HOOD AND DROVE INTO VACAVILLE AND FOUND A MAZDA DEALERSHIP. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM OF THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MOUNTS AND THE CAR NEEDED NEW MOUNTS.

AUGUST 26, 2003 THE MAZDA WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THE MAZDA STARTED STUTTERING. WE HAD THE MAZDA PUT ON COMPUTER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED NEW SENSOR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUE TO GO ON AND OFF. IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THE MAZDA STARTED STUTTERING AND LOST SPEED AND THAT LED TO NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP SPEED UP AND WHEN WE ENTERED THE TRAFFICE LIGHT IT TURNED YELLOW THEN WHILE WE WERE UNDER IT IT TURNED RED AND WE WERE HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SEPT 26, 2003 I AM APPROXIMATELY 115 MILES FROM HOME THE OVER DRIVE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND I LOSE SPEED AGAIN THE ENGINE IS SMOKING. THE CAR IS TOWED BACK TO CHARLESTON, SC WHERE I LIVE. I HAD TO SPEND 3HRS AT A REST AREA ALL ALONE WITH MY 15 YR OLD DAUGHTER. THIS IS THE EXACT REST AREA WERE A WOMAN WAS MURDERED 2 YEARS AGO. WE WERE SCARED TO DEATH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I AM ON MY WAY TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR ESTIMATE. I THINK MAZDA HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN PUTTING OUT LEMONS NOT CARS. I WANT AND WILL JOIN CLASS ACT LAWSUIT.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 79,000 MILES, WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS NOT A RESULT OF MISUSE OR AN ACCIDENT, AND IN FACT, TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED PER THE MANUAL WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FORMER MAZDA MECHANIC AND SEARCHING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND OUT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITH THIS CAR DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN CORRECTED BY MAZDA IN THE NEWER MODELS, HOWEVER MAZDA HAS NOT SEEN FIT TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE DEFECTIVE MODEL YEARS.

WHEELS, POWER TRAIN
THE PROBLEM, I HAVE IS ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY FROM TAUNTON MA ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY FROM BROCKTON MA WHERE I LIVE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH, THE SPEED LIMIT. OUT OF NOWHERE, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. WHERE I WAS DRIVING, THERE WERE THREE LANES. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND HAD JUST ENOUGH SPEED TO GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO PHONE I DID KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON MY CAR NEVER SHOWED SUCH SIGN OF THIS SORT I WAS WITH MY FRIEND WHO TOLD ME TO PUT THE CAR IN D2. THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY, THAN STARTED SLIPPING AFTER I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, THAN PUSHED IT AGAIN, IT STARTED JERKING A LITTLE, THEN STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN. I BARELY MADE IT TO BROCKTON.

THE HOLD LIGHT IS FLASHING AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE GEARS CORRECTLY. HAD THE TRASMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND UN-HOOKED THE BATTERY FOR 5 MINUTES AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY AND A HALF. A FRIEND IS A MECHANIC AND FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME, BUT NOW WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT IN A NEW OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT IT USED IN JAN 03 WITH 122,000 MILES ON IT.

IN ADDITION TO SMELLING GAS - THE RADIO AND ANTENNA DOESN'T WORK. NOW THE SUNROOF WON'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON MORE OFTEN THAN NOT SINCE I HAD THE CAR. THE KEY SOMETIMES WON'T FIT INTO DOOR LOCK AND EVEN THOUGH THE CAR LOOKS BRAND NEW AND HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OFF - IT JUST SEEMS TO FALL APART. THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT LOCK FELL APART BUT THE BIGGEST THING IS THE SUNROOF WON'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THIS IS MY 3RD MAZDA AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THIS DEALERSHIP ON 1-9-03,SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO DATE. THIS CAR HAS MAJOR FRONT END PROBLEMS,THE AXEL IS BROKEN, THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING,IT IS TERRIBLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT,THE CABLE SHIFTER IS OUT AND THE CAR STOPS ON ME WHILE IM DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TRIED TO TELL THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP AND HE TELLS ME IT'S JUST MY IMAGINATION....HE GOT ANGRY AFTER I CALLED HIM SO MUCH TWO WEEKS AGO THAT HE TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN SO HE CAN LOOK AT IT,I DID AND HE THEN SAID HE NEEDED TO SEND IT AWAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY OTHER MECHANICS.....HE KEPT MY CAR FOR 8 DAYS THAN BROUGHT IT BACK AND SAID NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT IT HAD BEEN PUT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE,I SAID FINE AND COULD I SEE THE PAPERWORK TO THAT EFFECT .....HE REFUSED AND SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE IT WAS HIS PAPERWORK,I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE TO ME IF IT HAD REALLY BEEN CHECKED WHY SHOULDN'T I BE ABLE TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THEY FOUND?. THIS DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THREE COMPLAINTS AGAINST IT IN THE PAST 36 MONTHS FROM THE BBB. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ME BUT PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PLACE.....THEY'RE SELLING CARS THAT ARE UNSAFE AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT,I HAVE CALLED THE CITY OF ANTIOCH AND EXPLAINED MY POSITION TO THEM....SOME ONE HAS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A BUSINESS LIKE THIS BEING IN EXISTENCE,AND SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER IF DEATH OR INJURY OCCUR BECAUSE THIS MAN WAS ALLOWED TO SELL THESE UNSAFE CARS.

SINCE APPROXIMATELY JUNE, 2002, THE IMMOBILIZER HAS BEEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER I START THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH THE ALARM IS DEACTIVATED. I USUALLY HAVE TO WAIT 24 HOURS OR SO FOR THE ALARM TO RESET ITSELF. THIS OCCURS EVERY 2 MONTHS OR SO, BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT HAS HAPPENED EVEN WHEN THE CAR WASN'T LOCKED. JUNE, 2002, REPLACED BATTERY; DEC. 2002, INSTALLED NEW FUEL PUMP; JAN. 2003, INSTALLED FUEL PUMP AGAIN; APRIL, 2003, BOUGHT NEW KEY AND CLICKER; SEPT. 2003, DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE IMMOBILIZER @ NEARLY $800. ALL OF THESE REPAIRS ARE AT DEALER'S REQUEST, AND ARE INTERSPERSED WITH MANY TOWS AND ALARM RESETS.

MY DAUGHTER HAS A 1998 MAZDA 626. SHE HIT A TREE HEAD ON AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT COME OUT. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AND SHE IS DRIVING IT NOW. IT REALLY CONCERNS ME THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR IF SHE HAS A WRECK THAT IS WORST THAT THE ONE SHE ALREADY HAS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE ENGINE IS MISFIRING CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND TOLD ME I WAS PUTTING "BAD GAS" IN THE CAR; THE THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED A DISTRIBUTOR CAP, THE FOURTH THE IGNITION WIRES, THE FIFTH THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR, AND NOW FOR THE SIXTH ATTEMPT THEY ARE REPLACING VALVE ONE IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALER HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 31 DAYS (21 BUSINESS DAYS) AND AS OF YESTERDAY, EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE VALVE IN THE ENGINE, THE PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN CORRECTED. I'VE HAD A RENTAL CAR FOR THE 31 DAYS THEY'VE HAD MY CAR. I PURCHASED THE OPTIONAL INSURANCE BECAUSE MY INSURANCE AGENT ADVISED ME TO DO SO (WHAT THE RENTAL COMPANY EXPECTS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN WHAT AN INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD PAY...THEREFORE I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIFFERENCE). MAZDA REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE INSURANCE ON THE RENTAL CAR WHICH, CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I BELIEVE IS UNREASONABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO EXERCISE MY LEMON LAW RIGHTS, HOWEVER MY CAR HAD OVER 18,000 MILES ON IT AT INCEPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS 18 MONTHS OLD. MY PURPOSE IN FILING THIS COMPLAINT IS TO WARN OTHER CONSUMERS AGAINST THE MAZDA 626 AS IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FOR ME.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR USED FROM CORPORATE MOTORS IN SACRAMENTO, CALIF. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AT 18K, THIS WAS MY FIRST ONE SO I JUST FIGURED THAT'S HOW AUTOMATICS DROVE, WRONG? AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT AROUND 30K. I'VE SPENT WELL OVER $2500 REPAIRING THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WISE, AND NOW THE PUMP IS GOING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PUMP JUST CAN'T BE REPLACED, I WILL HAVE TO GET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION, EITHER REBUILT OR A NEW ONE. I AM LETTING IT GET TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL DRIVE IN A DEALERSHIP AND NEVER COME HOME WITH ME AGAIN.
