Description of the problem | Transmission failed in year 5 of operation for 1998 mazda 626. I am aware that i am not alone with my transmission problem regarding 1994-1998 mazda 626s. This is too soon to be disposing of an automobile because of a big ticket item. Very disappointed. Won't ever buy mazda again. Also, front, right axle joint was failing/loose a year ago, 3 repairs/axle replacement and $1000 later, the problem has not been fixed. Absolutely no faith in mazda, or the service department located in burnsville, mn. |
