Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2000 mazda 626 (56 thousand mile) died on the highway, the transmission failed and i almost got killed! my girlfriend called the mazda dealer where i bought my car ( east coast mazda) and pretty much was told, oh well, what do you want us to do about it?? well, i now understand that this transmission problem is very common in mazda 626 from years 1994-2002. i put out over three thousand dollars for a transmission and i think they should pay on cars like mine that only have 56 thousand miles & the trans dies, plus people could get killed, i can't believe there has been "no recall" for this problem to date, are they waiting to get sued?? that money was my vacation money so now i am out of my trip because of a bad transmission which they are well aware of, just look up mazda 626 trans problems on the web and see how many there are! *nm
