| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1999 mazda 626 transmission died i have been informed by reading on the forums about transmission problems on the mazda 626. i just purchased this car about a year ago with about 110k miles (the car was in excellent shape). i have put about 7k miles and three weeks ago the transmission started to slip. a couple of months ago i took a trip and on the way back home the o/d light came on and it did not turn off until i stopped at a rest stop and the car cooled down. i guess it was a sign the transmission was overheating. well, i have since taken it to a transmission shop and have been told that it needs to be rebuilt ($1500 min.). i have since tried driving it to another shop and now it runs for a couple of minutes and quits. will not move at all. i turn if off and wait a couple of minutes to let it cool off and it works again for another couple of minutes. what a crock!! if mazda new about this issue and reluctantly issued a tech bulletin about the transmission overheating, why did they put this car out to begin with. motor and tranny are the life of the car, if neither work what is the car good for! *jb |
