Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 120k miles on my highly maintained 1996 mazda 626 my transmission failed. i did some research and many other customers have encountered the same situation with the same model car. repairs will end up costing me $4000.00. as a college student it is going to be hard to come up with that type of money. i would suggest if there are as many failures as i have seen in the research a recall should be issued by mazda corp. design flaws should be fixed by the designer or company, not by the consumer. *ak
