| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1996 mazda 626 transmission problems i.e. od light flashing when car is driven at speed of 65 mph. car must be stopped, shut off, and restarted to correct the problem, otherwise once speed is decreased the car shifts erratically. in a two hour car trip, i may have to restart car 3 or 4 times or drive under 60 at all times. i've seen several complaints on the web regarding this problem and the major costs to repair, so i just don't drive my car any long distances and haven't for years! don't understand why mazda isn't recalling if they know it's such a widespread problem. i worry that because i have to drive slow, i'll get rear-ended on the expressway by someone going the speed limit!! *jb |
