| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought mazda 626 lx 1998 and two months after transmission failed. car started making clinging noise,slow performance and abrupt shifts, slow start ups. took it to aamoco and they diagnosed failing transmission and charged me $2200,didn't have money so end up getting loan to pay of,plus interest. just paid of loan and my rebuilt transmission (original one but fixed it by aamoco) is failing again,abrupt shifts,very slow starts and i actually got ticket from police. found place to get car repaired second time for $1500. so far in 3 1/2 years transmission failed 2 and around $4300 in repairs costs and loans. luckily i did not drive car on highway while it have transmission problems,otherwise would be in danger of accident. car takes slow shift,around 30-40 mph makes moves like it will stall,it takes from 0-60 minutes not seconds...very dangerous to operate on highway during failure. *jb |
