2000 Mazda 626

PASSENGERS SIDE REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS CRACKED. VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHEN DRIVEN AT 60 MPH OR FASTER. DEALER HAD BEEN CONTACTED FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT DRIVERS SIDE AXLE NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. DEALER HAS REPLACED DRIVERS SIDE, BUT CONSUMER WAS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. DEALER HAD INFORMED CONSUMER THAT PASSENGERS SIDE AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK CONSUMER ALSO STATED SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION STALLING, VEHICLE BACK FIRING, TREMBLING/SHAKING AND ALSO STEERING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TIRES THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIRE PRESSURE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED UNTIL SHE WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT THE AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

ONE OF THE PARK LIGHT STOPPED WORKING BEFORE 1 YEAR OF PURCHASE. AIRCONDITIONER COMPRESSOR MAKES A VERY DISTINCT "CLICK" NOISE INSIDE THE CAR. THIS NOISE IS TOO HIGH COMPARED TO OTHER CARS. MAZDA MECHANIC SAYS ITS NORMAL. THE WORST PROBLEM I FACED WAS THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ITS ERRATIC, DOESN'T CROSS 2ND GEAR, AND MAKES A SCARY JERK AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR UPON REMOVING LEG FROM GAS PEDDAL. HAD TO TOW THE CAR TWICE TO DEALER. ITS DISGUSITING TRANSMISSION. APPRICIATE IF SOMEBODY COULD TELL ME ALTERNATIVES TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND SUGGEST NEXT ACTION AT BSKP@HOTMAIL.COM I HAVE A NEW CAR, BUT CAN'T GO ON LING DRIVES AS IT IS UNRELIABLEFRUSTRATING

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, CAME ON FIVE TIMES, THE FIRST TIME DEALER REPLACED BROKEN IDLER PULLEY BELT BOLT, SECOND TIME DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR, THIRD TIME DEALER REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH, FOURTH TIME TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR WAS REPLACED, AND FIFTH TIME CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH WAS REPLACED, AT THIS TIME ENGINE CHECK LIGHT IS ON AGAIN.*AK CONSUMER STATES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OFF THE LOT THE FIRST DAY, THERE WAS A HORRIFIC SCREECHING NOISE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL, CONSUMER ASSUMED THAT IT WAS A NEW CAR NOISE AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY GO AWAY, CONSUMER WAS INFOREMD THAT SOMETHING HAD SLIPPED IN THE WHEEL AREA, OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS CONSUMER COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT VEHICLE WAS MAKING AN EXTREMLY LOUD THUMPING NOISE, THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE FREON SYSTEM WHICH WAS THEN FLUSHED AND THEN REFILLED TO THE CORRECT LEVEL, WHICH WAS DONE TO TAKE OUT THE AIR BUBBLES IN THE AIR CONDITION LINE, ALSO THE AIR CONDITION WAS BLOWING HOT AIR, THE CENTER CONSOLE WOULD NOT LATCH, NUMEROUS COMPONETS WERE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.*JB

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE TO WARM UP VEHICLE WILL SHIFT INTO REVERSE, BUT WILL NOT MOVE. CONSUMER PUT GEAR BACK INTO PARK AND LET IT WARM UP AGAIN. VEHICLE AGAIN WILL JUMP INTO REVERSE, AND CONSUMER HAS TO PUT IT BACK INTO PARK. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE VEHICLE WILL GO BACKWARDS REAL FAST. VEHICLE DOES THIS INTERMITTENTLY. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH VEHICLE.*AK

WHEN CONSUMER STARTED UP CAR ITCOULD NOT BE PUT IN GEAR. TOOK TO DEALER, AND THEY ADJUSTED THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER FELT THAT THERE STILL WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. BUT, CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PUT IN GEAR. MECHANIC SAID PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY PUTTING HAND ON TOP OF GEAR SHIFT LEVER. CONSUMER FELT THIS DID NOT MAKE SENSE.*AK
