Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving my mazda 2000 protege(automatic) home from friends on july 4 th, noticed that there was a big jerk from transmission and engine started rewing at ~4k to ~5k and the car was loosing power. i was doing 55 mph at the time and the speed came down to 40 mph. from that point on car would not go beyond 40 mph and engine still keeps rewing at that speed. i was on a highway in the car alone and was feared for life that the engine rewing with loud noice would blow on me. had to take local roads to make it to home. the car has 37k miles on it and was gently driven. all the required maintenance work was performed. dealer after performing the diagnostics came back with there was an internal failure with the transmission and it needs to be replaced costing over $2600.
