Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The automatic transmission had to be replaced after only 57000 miles back in 2004. since the warranty had expired i had to spend $2200 out of my pocket. i've been researching this problem for a while now and have noticed that 1000's of these 1997 mazda 626 cars have had similar problems. why hasn't the nhtsa forced mazda to issue a recall or at least have them reimburse car owners? *nm
