| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I too am experiencing these notorious transmission problems with my 94 mazda 626 with all the common symptoms like od light flashing, rough and jerky gear shifts, losing power all of a sudden, fixing in low gears etc. its so agonizing that despite so many people having to go for complete transmission replacements, many even multiple times on the same vehicle, no one is able to make mazda to fix this for good on all the 94 mazda 626s. its such a pity that even mazda dealers acknowledge that its no longer a question of if, but when these poorly designed transmission systems fail. i hope nhtsa can intervene and investigate these all too common and potentially dangerous failures now, rather than waiting until fatalities are reported. having read so many sad histories with this model, there is no point spending thousands of dollars in having this troubling transmission replaced for my car, its obvious the problem is bound to occur again. i can't afford another car in this economy. i can't trade-in my car either (i hate to victimize another innocent buyer with this lemon). so, i have no choice but to take risk continuing to drive this, unless mazda can either pick up the tab for the replacements, or atleast offer to fix it for a fair price with a reasonable guarantee period.*ak |
