| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: (1)i bought a used 1994 mazda 626 with an automatic 4 cylinder cd4e transmission and 2.0 liter engine on 10/7/04. a month after i purchased, i had the car kept overheating so i had to replace the water pump, which costed $375. then the transmission started slipping, but i didn't think it was a big problem at first. by the time christmas came, the transmission was totally shot. it would rev up to 4000 rpm in first gear, and it wouldn't shift from 2nd to third. second gear would just rev between 3000-4000 rpm when i hit the accelerator. i finally got the trans rebuilt. it costed me $1270. this was on 1/17/05. the car was fine for the next 4 months. 2 days ago, i noticed 2nd gear reving high again between 3-4000 rpm. i thought maybe i hit the gas harder than normal , so i took it lightly. i was wrong. the transmission is revving high in low gears like it was previously bfore had it rebuilt. this is rediculous. there is no way you should have to rebuild or replace a transmission twice within 6 months. i think mazda should repay me for manufacturing such a faulty transmission. i'm going to have to replace it again, or i will have no car to drive to work. the machanic who rebuilt the transmission the first time gave me a 1 year arranty on it, but i should still be reimbursed for this inconvenient transmission. am i going to have to replace it every 4 months? |
