| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 mazda 626 lx 2.0 that i purchase in october 2001. what seemed to be a pretty reliable car turned to crap in 2003 when the transmission failed suddenly without much notice. i had the transmission rebuilt at aamco (the biggest rip offs on the planet next to mazda) for $2650.00. the car ran fine for 2 more years when once again with out much notice the car starts making a grinding noise in reverse, i took it back to aamco where they told me that i once again needed a replacement and that my extended warranty just ran out "go figure". so here i am left with this car that i owe $1500.00 on and i need $2000.00 worth of work. i come to find out that i am one of many with the same problem with this car. thanks mazda, after much research i bought a honda a much more reliable car. *jb |
