| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1995, mazda, 626, 4 cylinder, automatic, lx model car. purchased the car in 1996 with 15000 miles on it and started having transmission trouble @ about 40000 miles. contact mazda and had dealer look at the car before the warranty expired due to un-normal transmission activity and the end results were the car/transmission was ok. continued to drive car and problem got worst. (erratic shifting, blinking od light, jumping in and out of gear at any known time) the transmission eventually went out on the road. luckily nobody was hurt. that transmission was changed out (expenses paid by me the owner, the car was out of commission for about 10 days) and replaced with a second transmission not knowing there was any known transmission trouble from/with mazda or ford. the same sequence of events start happening with the second transmission; even down the transmission going out on the road (and still lucky it did not go out in the middle of an busy intersection with lots of traffic/ long distance trucks coming). in both situations the fluid was changed and the warranty had just expired giving no help. *jb |
