Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 mazda 626 lx. i was accelerating onto freeway and suddenly lost all power. i was able to quickly take next exit and was not in a collision. i had vehicle towed to repair shop and was told that a complete rebuild of the automatic transmission was necessary. the mechanic stated that the cause of failure appeared to be a loss of pressure within the transmission and subsequent damage occured. he also stated that there was a known cooling problem with this model transmission. the total cost of repair was $2500. judging from other complaints i reviewed there seems to be a history of failure in these vehicles. the vehicle had 75000 miles at the time of failure.*ak
