1995 Mazda 626 complaints

IVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONCE AND IM GOING TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE ITS SLIPPING . *AK

I WAS DRIVING MY 1995 MAZDA 626 TO WORK ON 08/05/2004 AND ABOUT A MILE FROM WORK, MY O/D OFF LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. ONCE I GOT TO WORK, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I CALLED A MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY MY TRANSMISSION AND IT MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN WENT ON CARTRACKERS.COM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MOST MAZDA 626'S. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND SURELY CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE A PAYMENT ON A NEW VEHICLE. PLEASE MAKE MAZDA CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM!!!*AK

I PURCHASED A 1995 MAZDA 626 WITH 04,000 ON 106,000 THE TRANSMISSION WENT. I FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FOR THIS CAR IS REALLY A FORD CD4E. ALL OVER THE INTERNET THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION. I HAVE PAID $2,500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION IT IS BEING INSTALLED NOW. WHEN WILL THERE BE A RECALL?*AK

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AROUND 1999. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT ($2300). HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT IN MAY 2003. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN JUNE 2004 ($1700). I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAD THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, SHE HAD NEVER ENDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. EVENTUALLY SHE TRADED THE CAR IN BECAUSE IT WAS COSTING HER MORE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE THAN THE WORTH OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

CAR DETAILS: MAZDA ODEL 626, YEAR OF MFG: 1995, 4 DOOR, AUTO TRANSMISSION, NO. OF MILES (TILL THE DATE OF COMPLAINT): 87,410 MILES. THIS IS A USED CAR AND I BOUGHT IT IN DECEMBER 2003. THE MILES ON THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT WAS ABOUT 84,500. *AK PROBLEM: 1) EVENTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE: THERE WAS A SLIP IN THE CAR EVERY TIME THE CAR WAS STARTED FROM REST. I SHOWED IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED THE PROBLEM TO BE DUE TO NEW BRAKE PADS WHICH I HAD GOT CHANGED ABOUT TWO MONTHS BACK.I USE THE CAR MAINLY INSIDE THE CITY AND IT WAS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE. I DROVE IT ONLY ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES (THIS WAS ON THE DAY OF COMPLAINT) AND WHILE COMING ON THE WAY I SAW THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING LOT OF JERKS WHENEVER I SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED AT ANY SIGNAL. ALSO THE PICK UP OF THE CAR WAS VERY POOR. THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT PICK THE POWER THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCING AND I HAD A PROBLEM EVEN GETTING TO 30 MPH. AS SOON AS I SAW THIS I DID NOT DRIVE ANY FURTHER. THE VERY NEXT DAY I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. 2) THE FAILURE: THE TRASMISSION OIL IN THE CAR WAS LOW, THE GEAR TEETH IN THE TRANSMISSION WERE BROKEN; THE CLUTCH PLATES WERE WORN OUT; THE LEFT AXEL HAD EATEN AWAY THE SLEEVE OF THE TRANSMISSION ON THE LEFT SIDE.THE WORN OUT METAL (OF THE GEAR) WAS SUPPOSEDLY CARRIED OVER TO OTHER PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSED SOME OTHER GEARS TO GET DAMAGED. 3) PRESENTLY THE CAR AND THE OLD TRANSMISSION BOTH ARE WITH MY MECHANIC. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY DECISION SO FAR AS T

I PURCHASED MY 1995 MAZDA 626 NEW. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR ONLY A FEW MONTHS AND LESS THAN 3,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THEY REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE CAR LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT THEY AGREED TO FIX IT. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN THREE TIMES PREVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS, BUT EACH TIME THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THAT THEY HAD FIXED IT. RECENTLY, I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS BECAUSE I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. NO ONE SHOULD EVER BUY A MAZDA AGAIN! I HAVE SEEN THE NUMEROUS POSTS REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND EACH OF THEM DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED TO MINE. THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT FLASHES OFF AND ON, IT HAS DIFFICULTY GOING INTO GEAR, IT STALLS BETWEEN GEARS AND CONSTANTLY LEAKS TRANSMISSION FLUID. MAZDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION!*AK

TRANSMISION FALURE 1995 MAZDA 626. *AK

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LOCAL MECHANIC SUSPECTED OXYGEN SENSOR NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY ON EMISSION CONTROL COMPONENTS. LOCAL MECHANIC CHARGE 800$ TO CHANGE O2 SENSOR DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER AND CHANGED ANOTHER COMPONENT TO FIX IT. HAPPENED BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT SINCE THERE WAS NO WEAR AND TEAR AND NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS. BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THE WORK OVER 1200$

O/D LIGHT START FLASHING AT ABOUT 93,000MILES AND CAR IS JERKING WHILE ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED. DEALER SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. RESEARCH ON THE WEB SHOWS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEMS AND DEFINITELY SHOULD BE RECALLED!*AK

THIS WAS VERY UPSETTING, SO I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND ALL THE OTHER MAZDA 626 OWNERS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT ON WEB SITES AND ONLINE BULLETIN BOARDS. IF THE COMPANY WON'T ADMIT THAT THE FORD TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY THEN YOU NEED TO STAND UP FOR ALL THE CONSUMERS AND FORCE A RECALL.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SWITCHED TO A LOWER GEAR. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *QP THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN CHANGED TWICE BEFORE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNERS PER MECHANIC. *SCC *JB
