Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In late january of 2007 i purchased a 1999 mazda 626 for my daughter for her to use in the years she would be in college. the vehicle had approximately 79,000 miles on it. she has driven the car to college and back and forth to work. on november 12, 2007 she was driving south on a busy highway in tulsa, oklahoma. suddenly the vehicle lost power and would not go any further or go in reverse. we had the vehicle towed to a transmission shop that was recommended by our mechanic. the transmission shop completely overhauled the transmission replacing factory parts that the owner said were deficient with better parts. the parts that the shop used were an: overhaul kit valve body repair kit solenoid pack torque converter reverse drum forward piston i am very disappointed in the failure of this vehicles transmission. i have never had a car that had a transmission problem. i have been made aware since the failure of this transmission that this is a problem that has been frequently a problem on the mazda 626 model. *tr
