| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Transmission breakdown. back on april 07, 2003, i brought my 1998 mazda 626 into a transmission repair shop to get my vehicle fixed. i was told the transmission was toast. it had overheated and burnt up most of the internals. i ended paying for a rebuilt unit, a new torque converter, and a drive chain. the total out of pocket expense was $1272.00 now exactly three years down to the month i'm starting all over with the same problems. the transmission is going downhill again. fortunately this time i parked it in the driveway and haven't fixed it yet. i am currently researching the problem and it appears to be a nationwide problem, yet nothing is being done about it. *nm |
