| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have 24,000 miles on my mazda 626 4cyclinder. this is the second transmission i had put in the car. after purchasing the car, i drove the car home and it was jerking a little. i thought it was me just getting use to driving the car. the next day i drove to church and the car started going in reverse while the gear was in drive. when i got to church, i called the dealer and they told me to have the car towed. mazda people said it was the transmission. they put a new transmission in. two years later on 10/2/04 i was returning from a funeral and the car started to slow down (no warnings). i turned it off. the car would start, but would not move in drive or reverse. i called the mazda dealer and they told me to call for towing. the car was towed to mazda dealer again. once again, its the transmission. they are going to replace the transmission again because its still under the warranty. i was surfing the internet regarding mazda transmissions came across some very important information. 626 mazda 1994 - 2002 have a ford model cd4e transmission. the transmission has an over heating problem. mazda knows about this problem but they are noting fixing it. they issued a technical service bulletin telling how to correct the problem but they are not telling the customer about it unless the customer mentions something about it. the transmission needs a transmission cooling kit. my car is at the mazda dealer now. when i called about this cooling kit they told me that it would cost $280.00, only because they have to put in a transmission. if they do not have to put a transmission in it would cost more. i should not have to pay for the cooling kit. i have only had the car a little over two years. mazda should be made reponsible to pay for all repairs and or replacements that are covered under the warranty. *ak |
