| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 99 mazda 626 w/ 120k miles on it. on new years day i was driving home on a highway and the check engine light came on. about 20 minutes later the car started revving up persistently. it seemed like the transmission was slipping. quickly the car acted like it was in neutral in all the gears. there was enough momentum to get the car to a side road. luckily i was nearly home. i had the car towed to a local transmission place to get looked at. the final quote was about $3000 dollars. supposedly the transmission pump went out and the tranny burned up. the torque converter, solenoid block, 4 gears, and all the bushings need to be replaced. i thought this was just bad luck but after checking online i found that transmission failures were common for 93-2001 mazda 626's. apparently there have not been enough complaints or publicity for mazda to issue a recall, yet they stopped producing the vehicle due to problems with the transmission. *jb |
