Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving our 1999 mazda 626 on an interstate highway for an hour, the o/d dash light began blinking. after pulling over i discovered transmission fluid had spilled out from vent tubing. we had the car towed home and inspected by the dealer. the dealer did not find a problem and flushed the transmission out. we got several other opinions which included rebuilding the transmission at $1800. we were not satisfied with the information we received from our dealership on this problem and after some research found many others with the same and worse situations (very costly transmission repairs ).*jb
