| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 mazda 626 4 cylinder automatic transmission, the transmission has failed twice now, 1st repair was over $2,000 second repair will be just as much or more. after checking message boards on the internet and talking to transmission mechanics this is a huge problem with all these ford/mazda vehicles. with a failure rate this high and continual problems with these vehicles over several years some sort of recall needs to be made. there is also a danger factor with these transmissions, they have a huge tendency to over heat causing transmission fluid to boil over through the dipstick causing oil slicks on streets and highways. *nm |
