Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I brought a 1999 mazda 626 at around 64,000 miles. i always got my fluids check and change around every 3,000 miles. it drove fine until recently at 115,000 miles when it had a hard time going into 2nd gear. the check engine light came on and the o/d light also started flashing. it finally got the place where it wouldn't move forward at all. i had to miss a day at work because of it. i had to get the car towed and look at by a mechanic. the mechanic said that it sounded like my 2nd gear was about to go out. he tried to get it to work by changing my transmission fluid and replacing my alternator belt. the car ran good for only one day and on my way home from work the check engine and the o/d light came on. luckly, my car made it home, but the next day it wouldn't even move forward. it will cost between 1,200 and 2,500 dollars to get it fixed. this is money that i do not have! i still got two years worth of payment to make on it and i have no idea how i'm going to get to work every day. hopefully i can come up with the my to fix this problem.*ak
