Description of the problem | Internet research shows that the mazda 626 has a long history of tranmission failures. We took the car in for its regular maintenance as noted in the car manual. We had purchased the extended 100,000 mile warranty. The transmission failed at 100,385. Neither mazda nor the warranty company would agree to an adjustment nor a compromise on fixing the transmission. *ak |
