Description of the problem | I just found out that i will need to replace my transmission chain to the tune of $800. 00 and am horrified to find out that nhtsa has not forced a recall of transmission problems on the mazda 626. After reviewing your website complaints, i can't understand what nhtsa is thinking, i'm guessing that no one has been killed yet, therefore the delay in calling a recall. From what i've read, i can look forward to doing this again in the very near future. Only have 75,000 miles, original owner and thought i was driving one of the safest vehicles on the road. Silly me |
