Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car all of a sudden quit accelerating in the drive gear. i previously posted a complaint regarding a symtom of transmission failure but, it now failed. car was taken to local shop where it was diagnosed with transmission failure a $2500 cost. i have done extensive reasearch on the transmission model and come to find out that it is a ford transmission model# cd4e which is notourious for failing. this transmision is not only in mazda models but ford cars as well. the years vary from approx 1994 to 2002, please don't only consider the amount of complaints for this year and model of car, but do put into consideration the various cars this transmission was installed into. this type of transmission has been a failure since it was manufactured, if you were to invistigate all cars with this type of transmission you would come to conclude that a massive recall should be done for the safety of us drivers. i'm fortunate that i made it to work and that the transmission didn't fail while driving on the freeway on my way to work. *ak
