Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a mazda 626 1998, 4 cylinder. the automatic transmission just failed on me at 79000 miles. i was jammed on the highway until i got towed to the dealer who sold me the car. this car was bought new and was driven by my wife from 1998 to 2004. it was never abused. it started slipping at drive position when i got out of my driveway the day before it broke i had to remove o/d to engage and move forward. then, put o/d on at approximately 50 m/h to drive on the highway. i had also a first failure on jan 04,2003 at 46500 miles. lost transmission parts directly in the street ! it was repaired under warranty and dealer said the transmission was a-1 like a new one. now warranty is over and my dealer is asking for $3726 to fix !! no deal to do! not even split costs half and half. this transmission had a defect for sure. so got the car towed elsewhere for lower repair cost ($1900 )*jb |
