Description of the problem | Transmission failure. I have been reading all types of posts from websites saying the same thing about the poor transmissions in the mazda 626. How could you disregard the quality of a part thats so vital to a newly manufactured car? Most people who are writing posts about the mazda 626 transmission problem say that they will never buy mazda again, and i feel the same way. Every post that i've seen has been about the faulty transmission. People having their transmissions die at 37k, 55k, 48k. What's going on? Can we atleast get 150k. I'm still making payments on this car. If i have to get serious service like this, i would expect for it to be something way down the line after the car is paid for.*ak |
