| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1998 madza 626 transmission failure while entering interstate with vehicles traveling at 60+ mph. before purchasing this vehicle, i did my research. i found that transmission failure was a know problem in mazdas but the car salesman assured me that the transmission problem existed only in the model previous to the 1998 which i was interested in. she stated that after the design of the emblem was changed, this problem as well had been corrected. this was a lie. i was entering interstate ongoing a ramp when all of a sudden my car stopped pulling and all i could see was car rushing towards my rear end and steering to avoid hitting my rapidly slowing vehicle. i called the lot where i purchased the vehicle but nothing could be done. *nm |
