Description of the problem | 1998 mazda 626 - transmission started slipping and finally gave out. Also was not the first transmission rebuilt received directly from mazda that has given out, but was not reported the first time due to the fact i thought it was a regular problem caused on my part. Recently had to pay $3000+taxs to replace transmission and labor charges. There has to be something done about mazda and there vehicles because they are useless pretty much and should be recalled.

This url provided is just one of the many forums and cartracking websites that have numerous complaints of mazda owners having problems with their cars, especially the transmission. Not one , this is a fact and can be proven, not one owner of a mazda 626 has 'not' had extremely serious problems with their car, specifically in the transmission. Please..... Do something about this because spending $3000+ dollars on repairs regularly is obviously ridiculous, even if the money were available. *jb |
