| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 99 mazda 626 and have just experienced transmission failure. at first my car would sometimes hesitate upon accelerating. recently, as i was driving, the transmission gave out. the car would idle; however, would never kick into gear and the o/d light started blinking on/off. i put the car into d2 to make it to a safer enviroment and as i put the car in park it cut off. i was surprised to learn how many people have had problems with the 1994-2002 mazda's due to a ford transmission being installed. i also read that mazda and ford are aware of the problem and have never taken responsibility for it. while i receive literature to purchase new mazda's, i have never received information regarding this problem. now being quoted prices of $1800-$2100 to have my car repaired, i must foot this bill only to have the same occurance in a matter of months. i have also read that mazda ceased making the 626 model due to transmission/design problems. how long will it be before they own up to their mistakes?*ak |
