Description of the problem | I own a 1998 mazda 626 and the transmission just went out on it. I have done a little research and found out that this is a common problem among these vehicles and i feel that mazda should start taking some responsibility. I have to pay $2,004. 50 to get it rebuilt and i have only owned it for 2 years. My vehicle was 100 feet from the train tracks when it decided to stop working. It could have been a very bad situation as the train came by a couple minutes after my transmission failed. *ak |
