| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Refer to odi 10150361. want to clarify that purchased vehicle new 6-28-99. trans went out at 87000 miles. had rebuilt. never shifted correctly when new. even worse after rebuild. reverse shifted very roughly after very apparent pause. called mazda dealership purchased from, they didn't care. said nothing was wrong with it. had rebuilt 23 months ago. already went out at christmas 2005. had rebuilt. lasted two days - returned to trans shop. went back to the shop today for the 5th time since was "rebuilt" again at christmas. no one drove the car/sat in driveway after picked up the last time. decided to take through car wash today, and didn't make it out of the driveway - so no car wash. wanted to get it ready to trade off, and trans started slipping and jerking again. o/d light flashing, check engine light on again. won't shift into reverse. same thing again. i certainly wish i was a millionaire and i would pursue a lawsuit against ford and mazda for their "expensive junk" cars! my car has always had regular maintenance, oil changes, tune-ups, etc. it has never been abused and still looks like brand new inside and out. too bad it's not reliable. just like everyone else has said here, word of mouth, saying they will never purchase another mazda or ford again. the same definitely goes for me. so, in the last two years i've spent over $4000 for transmission repairs, and it still won't run correctly! i'm just fed up!*jb |
