1994 Mazda 626

TRANSMISSION REBUILT 8/17/00, STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. *AK CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO MAZDA AND THE DEALER STATED THAT CONSUMER NEEDS ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION. CONSUMER FEELS ITS NOT THE TRANSMISSION THATS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. CONSUMER FEELS THE FAILURE IS SOMETHING EXTERNAL THAT CONTROLS, OR SENDS SIGNALS TO THE TRANSMISSION. *SLC

MY CAR/TRANSMISSION IS AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. YOU NEVER KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO PULL OUT SAFELY IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAD IT REPLACED LAST YEAR AT A COST OF $2,200 AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. HAD THE SPEEDOMETER GEAR SET REPLACED BY RECALL AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. HAD A NEW NUETRAL SAFETY SWITCH REPLACED TODAY ALONG WITH THE "NEW" TRANSMISSION NOT HAVING ENOUGH FLUID WHICH CONSITUTED A FLUSHING OF THE SYSTEM AND MORE FLUID BEING PUT IN. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP TODAY, MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. CALL DEARLERSHIP, NOW THEY TELL ME I NEED TO BRING IN MONDAY TO HAVE THE "02" SENSOR REPLACED. MY COSTS ARE CLIMBING OVER $3,000 NOW. ALL I WANT IS A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. I'M A SINGLE MOM RAISING TWO CHILDREN AND THIS IS DRAINING ME, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND FINANCIALLY. I'VE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 15 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND ONE-HALF FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CAR IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR SPEED IS GOING TO INCREASE OR IF ITS GOING TO START JERKING AND HAVE TRANSMISISON FAILURE. DEALERSHIP ADMITS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION AND MAZDA IS AWARE OF IT, BUT SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE MAZDA RESPONSIBLE. THE CAR IS A TICKING TIME BOMB, I JUST HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT, OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED, BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISISON DEFECT.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET MAZDA TO REPLACE THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE UN-SAFE. YOU COULD GET YOURSELF KILLED WHEN IT JERKS YOU BACK AND ALMOST CHOKES ON IT. THIS COMPANY APPARENTLY DOESN'T STAND BEHIND IT'S PRODUCTS AT ALL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CAR FROM ANY COMPANY RELATED WITH MAZDA EVER AGAIN UNTIL THEY CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *AK

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN SEPT. OF 1994 AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES ALREADY AND GUESS WHAT IT WENT AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME ON ME LAST NIGHT ...I HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE 3RD TIME LESS THAN A YEAR AGO.IWENT ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE LAST NIGHT AND I FOUND 11 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MINE. HOLD LIGHT FLASING,NO PRESSURE ,TRANSMISSION FAILING,AND PEOPLE HAVING TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS 2 TO 4 TIMES IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.I HAVE CALLED EVERYONE IN CREATION TO SEEE IF I COUULD GET HELP. THE REASON THIS COMPANY IS ALLLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS IS BECAUSE THERE ID NO BODY THAT GOVERND THIS PROBLEMA NOT TO MENTION THEY DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY ARBITRATION PROGRAMS....I WONDER WHY?...WHY SHOULD THEY BE ABLE TO SELL VEHICLES IN THE USA AND NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY ARBITRATION PROGRAMS.I HAVE MAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO MAZDA NA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM..THE LAST TIME I GOT A TRANSMISSION I ASSURED THEM THAT IT WOULD GO AGAIN AND IT DID.YOU KNOW WHATHEY TOLD ME IN SO MAY WORDS....."TOUGH LUCK" THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS....ON THE COMPLAINT WEBSITE ONE OF THE MAZDA REPS. ADMITTED THAT. HOW DO CONSUMERS LIKE USS GET ANY RETRIBUTION FROM THESE LARGE COMPANIES WHO STOMP ON LITTLE PEOPLE LIKE US. IWOULD LIKE TO KNOW. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO I HAVE TALKED TO EVERYONE IN CRREATION....."PLEASE HELP ME"*AK
