Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The mazda 626 is now on it's second transmission and is currently not driveable because it needs another new one. for the past 5,000 miles the car's hold light begins to flash, the car jerks and the speed drops about 40-50 miles. this is not safe when traveling at about 70 mph on the interstate or anytime for that matter. the last straw was when i was driving 55mph on the highway and it decided to jerk and drop down to 15 miles and hour. not only was i almost rear-ended several times but i almost flew through the windsheild.at the next red light the car decided not to even go anymore. you can press the gas but in drive it won't move. but it does go in reverse although it still jerks and the hold light continues to flash. the car is too dangerous to drive. some people can't afford new vehicles and can't afford $1200-$2500 to have the transmission fixed. so therefore we continue to be without a car while the manufacturer makes money off of us people who didn't know what we were getting into when we bought a mazda. they all also need new motor mounts(which aren't cheap)very soon.you would think since soooo many people have problems with the transmission in a mazda they would help them to fix it. a guy at a junkyard once told me he would be a millionaire if he could supply a transmission to all the people who call needing one for their mazda. that's sick...*ak
