Description of the problem | I bought a mazda 626 1998 model during february' 06. It had 69k miles on it. Last month, when i was driving the car, when i pressed the gas, it did not move on the road. Luckily i was on the local road. So i could put turn and put it on a parking lot at a speed of 5 miles/hr. When i contacted firestone they told the transmission is a failure and it has to be replaced. I spent a total of 2400$ for the rebuilt transmission. I am totally upset about this. I meed mazda north america to refund my money back. Thanks. Vinod. *nm |
