Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The transmission on my 1998 mazda 626 with 89,000 miles just failed. according to my mechanic, a pump failed, and now my car has "no forward gears." i have since learned that transmission failures are very common with this model, due to a design flaw of which mazda is aware. i am currently having the transmission rebuilt, but i believe that mazda should be held responsible for not recalling this model and correcting this problem. *nm
