| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The hold light started blinking. dealer said transmission needed replacement. automatic transmission failed due to what the dealer said was a pressure leak. this is a common problem with the 1994 mazda 626 4 cylinder cars. apparently the transmission is a ford product which as a typical ford product fails prematurely. i took it to an independent transmission shop and was told that the 1994 model transmission had a design defect corrected with the 1995 model year. i'd like nhtsa to force mazda to institute a recall, and reimburse the owners the $2000+ charge it costs to have the transmission replaced. i had mine replaced, but i understand it will fail again. *ak |
