POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM WRTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE MAZDA 626. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL PUT OUT ON THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE CARS. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR WENT BAD AT 75,000 MILES. MAZDA WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT MY MAZDA 626 IN APRIL 2003 AND ONE MONTH LATER MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I HAD TO HAVE REBUILT. THAT MAD ME MAD, BUT WHAT MADE ME REALLY MAD WAS THAT WHEN I BOUGHT MY EXTENDED WARRENTY I WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRENTY WOULD COMPLETELY COVER REPAIRS TO KEEP MY CAR RUNNING. EVEN WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT EVERYBODY THERE WAS TELLING ME DON'T WORRY THE WARRENTY WOULD COVER IT. WELL HOW COME WHEN I WENT TO KENNEDY TRANSMISSION (THAT'S WHERE THE WARRANTY COMPANY SENT ME TO GET THE WORK DONE) I WAS TOLD THE TOTAL BILL WAS $ 2,600.00 AND THAT I HAD TO PAY ALMOST A $ 1,000.00 OUT OF MY POCKET ! THAT'S RIGHT AFTER I JUST GOT DONE PAYING $ 2,000.00 DOWN ON THE CAR, AND I HAD JUST MADE MY FIRST CAR PAYMENT WHICH WAS ANOTHER $ 380.00. KENNEDY TRANSMISSION TOOK ALMOST THREE WEEKS TO FIX MY TRANN, THEN THE DAY AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK MY CAR WOULDN'T START BECAUSE KENNEDY DID SOMETHING TO MY CAR AND THEY HAD TO TAKE IT FOR ANOTHER DAY. NOW IT HAS BEEN THREE MONTHS AND MY TRANNY HAS A LEAK IN IT ! THIS IS CRAZY AND I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH STORIES JUST LIKE MINE ABOUT THERE 626. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE MAZDA SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SELL CARS WITH SUCH HORRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS, AND IF A DEALERSHIP LIKE MINE KNOWS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR (NAD I'M SURE THEY KNEW) SHOULD NOT SELL THE CAR OR AT LEAST TAKE THE CAR BACK. I WILL NEVER BUY A MAZDA AGAIN . *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 1995 MAZDA 626 USED WITH 64000 MILES OCT 1999 THE VERY NEXT DAY THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HIT 120000 AND I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AGAIN AND IT HAS NOT BEEN BUT 10 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST ONE. I THINK THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY MADE AND I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS AND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR ALSO LUNGES AND STALLS FOR NO REASON.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
-1999 MAZDA 626 ES- THE BLACK RUBBER WEATHER STRIPPING AROUND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO PEEL OFF. AS I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RUBBER TRIM WOULD FLAP AROUND VIOLENTLY AND EVENTUALLY I HAD TO PULL OFF AND BUY/APPLY SOME TAPE TO STOP IT FROM FLYING OFF COMPLETELY. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF MY MOTHER OR GRANDMOTHER WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THE STRIPPING CREATES A REAL DIVERSION TO DRIVING AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE WINDSHIELD WOULD EVENTUALLY COME LOOSE. THE TAPE PULLED UP MY PAINT JOB AROUND THE WINDOW. *AK

AIR CONDITION DUCTS BLEW OUT LITTLE PARTICLES OF WHAT LOOK LIKE PLASTIC FOAM. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED ON LITTLE BLACK PARTICLES CAME OUT OF THE VENTS AND FLEW INTO THE DRIVERS EYES. THE DRIVER HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE PARTICLES WERE INSULATION FROM THE EVAPORATOR. *NLM THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE INSULATION FROM THE EVAPORATOR. *SCC *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WATER LEAKED INTO SUN ROOF. LAST WEEK THE CAR STALLED. TOWED IT TO MARLIN MAZDA. CONSUMER HAD TO PAY $65 FOR A NEW BATTERY.CONSUMER CANCELLED WARRANTY, STATING SLUDGE IN ENGINE. THAT WAS A LIE. TOWED VEHICLE TO OCEAN MAZDA, THEY DID NOT FIND SLUDGE. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE WARRANTY WA SCANCELLED BY MARLIN MAZDA (CODE W8). OCEAN MAZDA SAID THIS CODE DID NOT EXIST. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW 03/2001. MY FACTORY WARRANTY WAS FOR 3 YEARS OR 50,000 MILES. CONSUMER ONLY HAD 38,000 MILES AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 1995 MAZDA 626 LX (4 CYL W/ AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR, THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT FLASHES AND THE CAR SHAKES. IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I AM DRIVING, VERY OFTEN I CANNOT ACCELERATE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH I AM STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING, THE RPM JUST REV UP (LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL AND YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR ALTHOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE). I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.*AK
