Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Well first off i was driving and my speed started to drop so naturally i pressed the gas harder and harder and the rpms just kept shooting up and the car wouldn't go and my engine was roaring like a mustang trying to race someone. so my overdrive light in the dash starting blinking on and off and i knew something was screwy so i pulled off to the side and restarted my car. my car wouldn't go anywhere when i pushed the gas the rpm needle would just shoot up as if i had my car in park. after having it towed all over town, to find the best quality service on a new transmission i learned that 626s' have the worst transmissions ever!!! it cost me $2,000 for a new transmission. i think i deserve to be reimbursed, as well as the other people who have had the same problem. *nm
