| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The transmission on my 1995 mazda 626 died after approx 75k miles. there are no replacements anywhere in the country. i will have to have the current transmission rebuilt for approx $3k or sell the vehicle for parts. that is ridiculous for such a low-mileage vehicle to be in such a situation. researching the issue online i see this is a very common problem for the 1995 mazda 626. i see mention of the transmission possibly requiring a transmission cooler, suggesting that the failure occurs because the fluid overheats. not sure if that is the case, but clearly something in the design has resulted in an unreasonably short lifespan for the tranny. it is not reasonable for the consumer to take this on the chin. mazda needs to be held accountable and bear at least some of the pain their flawed design has caused. please contact me for additional details as needed. thank you for your consideration. *nm |
