Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1996 mazda 626 had been experiencing trouble shifting and the o/d off light kept flashing so i took it in to the dealership. i was told that the transmission was about to go. i found this really strange since the car only has 81k miles on it and i thought mazda was supposed to be really reliable. i have since found out that many have had this exact same problem (see these 2 websites: http://www.cartrackers.com/forums/live/yourlemon/189.html ; http://www.carsurvey.org/viewmorecomments_review_17103_3.html ) and mazda has done nothing to remedy this problem. *ak
