Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 1997 mazda 626 and has been having nothing but problems out of it!! my o/d (over drive) light blinks constantly non stop and the transmission jerks real hard when changing gears. today the transmission went out all the way! its obvious that mazda knows about this problme because when i took it to the dealership he didn't even look at my car, i told him the problem i was having and he said you need a transmission because all mazda do that. well i have only had the car for a couple of months, so why is all the transmissions going bad in them? i receive no answer from the dealership, and now iam about to be all a bunch of money to fix this problem, money i don't have! and hard to get while you have no way back and forth to work to even get the money! well i really think mazda needs to recall the transmission for their cars. the o/d light blinked for about 2 weeks everytime i took to a tranmission place it stopped blinking like a ghost! well its going to cost me 2,600 to fix it so mazda needs to pay at least half of it considering i haven't even had the car long and the owner before me told me he just had to replace the radiator and timing belt. i had a 87 camry and it ran good for over 3 years never having to replace a transmission or motor! i will never buy another mazda ever! they need to have immediate attention to this matter and at least contact there consumers and let them know they are concerned about this.*ak
