Description of the problem | 1998 mazda 626 - total transmission failure at 91000 miles. With proper fluid levels and fluid change at 50k miles, the transmissions still experienced a major meltdown! Numerous parts destroyed inside the transmission when the differential gear fell apart. I'm very upset with the $2,800 bill to repair something that should have never failed. While calling numerous transmission repair shops, i quickly found this is a very common problem for the cd4e transmission. I was also very disappointed at mazda's response to a problem that's been ongoing for years! Basically..."sorry, not our fault". Hopefully this complaint can be used to help make mazda more responsible for a product they know to be bad.*ak |
