2001 Mazda 626 complaints

VEHICLE BOUGHT NEW. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - OVERREVING, SHIFT HUNTING, HARD TO ENGAGE, SLIPPING, NOISE, VIBRATION, ENGINE HESITANCY. TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 5512 MILES WITH REBUILT UNIT; REBUILT UNIT IS WORSE THAN ORIGINAL.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY MAZDA 626 AND IT'S A 2001. THE TIMES THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT IN THE SHOP THAT WOULD TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR, BUT OF COURSE I KNOW MY CAR BETTER I DO DRIVE IT MORE THAN THEY HAVE TOO. WHAT I DISCOVERED JUST TODAY IS OFF THE MAP FUNNY(LIKE SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT), WAS DEALING WITH MY ODOMETER READING. SO IF I CAN PLEASE ALLOW ME YOUR HELP BEFORE MY GIVE OUT ON ME. THANK YOU MRS. JACKSON

THE ENGINE IS MISFIRING CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND TOLD ME I WAS PUTTING "BAD GAS" IN THE CAR; THE THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED A DISTRIBUTOR CAP, THE FOURTH THE IGNITION WIRES, THE FIFTH THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR, AND NOW FOR THE SIXTH ATTEMPT THEY ARE REPLACING VALVE ONE IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALER HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 31 DAYS (21 BUSINESS DAYS) AND AS OF YESTERDAY, EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE VALVE IN THE ENGINE, THE PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN CORRECTED. I'VE HAD A RENTAL CAR FOR THE 31 DAYS THEY'VE HAD MY CAR. I PURCHASED THE OPTIONAL INSURANCE BECAUSE MY INSURANCE AGENT ADVISED ME TO DO SO (WHAT THE RENTAL COMPANY EXPECTS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN WHAT AN INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD PAY...THEREFORE I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIFFERENCE). MAZDA REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE INSURANCE ON THE RENTAL CAR WHICH, CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I BELIEVE IS UNREASONABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO EXERCISE MY LEMON LAW RIGHTS, HOWEVER MY CAR HAD OVER 18,000 MILES ON IT AT INCEPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS 18 MONTHS OLD. MY PURPOSE IN FILING THIS COMPLAINT IS TO WARN OTHER CONSUMERS AGAINST THE MAZDA 626 AS IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FOR ME.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2001 MADZA 626 WITH ABOUT 59000 MILES (CAN'T BE ACCURATE BECAUSE IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP). HE HIT A PICK-UP TRUCK FROM BEHIND WHILE GOING APPROXIMALLY 40 MILES PER HOUR. A CAR IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK STOPPED QUICKLY WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED. WHEN THE TRUCK STOPPED, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP. THE TRUCK HAD A LARGE IRON ROUND BUMPER GUARD. MY HUSBAND HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH HIS BODY BEING THROW FORWARD. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. BECAUSE OF HIS HEAD INJURY AND BACK PAIN HE HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL. HE IS STILL HAVING HEADACHES. BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE THE MINUM FULL COVERAGE ALL OF HIS HOSPITAL BILLS AND COST OF THE TRANSPORT IS ON US. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ALL OF THE HOSPITAL BILLS, BUT THE TRANSPORT ITSELF IS OVER $900. HE ALSO WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO WORK FOR THREE DAYS. IF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED HE WOULD NOT HAVE HIT HIS HEAD AND BEEN THROWN FORWARD. THE COST OF THE CAR REPAIRS ARE $3,800. THE DATE OF THIS ACCIDENT WAS OCTOBER 20,2003. THE AIRBAGS HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED INTO AT THE BODY SHOP AND THE CAR IS ALMOST READY. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF ANOTHER ACCIDENT OCCURS, THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH GREATER INJURIES OR MAYBE DEATH.

I'VE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE 03/2001. I PURCHASED IT NEW FROM MARLIN MAZDA. THIS CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE SUNROOF AND CORNER ROOF BETWEEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER DOOR LEAKED WATER WHEN IT WOULD RAIN. JANUARY 2003 MY CAR RAN HOT, THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT BLOWING.THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE HEAD ON MY ENGINE AND THAT SOME HOSE WAS NOT CONNECTED, THIS IS WHY MY AIR WASN'T BLOWING? MY CAR STALLED ON ME 08/27/03. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR WASN'T EVEN HOT. TOWED TO MARLIN MAZDA.I PAID FOR NEW BATTERY. I ASKED THEM TO CHAECK UNDER HOOD TO BE SURE NO OTHER PROBLEMS, THEY TOLD ME AT LEAST $500 TO CHECK ENGINE THOROUGHLY? WEEK LATER STALL AGAIN. THIS TIME TOWED TO OCEAN MAZDA,KNOCKING NOISE UNDER HOOD, THEY SAID IT IS THE ENGINE AND OIL PUMP. THEY TRIED TO LOOK UP FACTORY WARRANTY, THEY'RE NOT REPAIRING IT BECAUSE MARLIN MAZDA VOIDED MY WARRANTY(MARLIN SAID SLUDGE IN ENGINE/ CODE W8.) THAT WAS A LIE! I HAVE BEEN GETTING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR. OCEAN MAZDA CHECKED ENGINE NO SLUDGE BUT THEY CAN'T DO REPAIR WORK WITHOUT WARRANTY. THEY TRIED TO CALL DISTRICT MANAGER BECAUSE CODE W8 DOES NOT EXIST!!! ALSO, I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO RECORD OF? I HAVE SPOKEN TO MAZDA AMERICAN CREDIT TO GET COPIES OF LOAN PAPERS THAT SHOWS PURCHASE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. I GUESS THE NEXT STEP IS A LAW SUIT. AFTER ALL THESE HEADACHES I DON'T EVEN WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE. I AM ALREADY PAYING A HIGH CAR NOTE FOR EXTR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW MAZDA 626 LX 2001 MODEL ON AUGUST 19, 2001 AT MAGNUSSEN'S FORD/NISSAN/MAZDA DEALERSHIP IN NEWARK CA. LITTLE DID I KNOW, I BOUGHT A LEMON!!!!! I RETURNED THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES AND TELLING THE SERVICE DEPT PEOPLE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND OVERRUNNING IN GEAR. AT ONE POINT, I HAD A FRIEND OF MINE DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MEET WITH THE SERVICE DEPT PEOPLE. THIS WAS THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2001. RUDY DIEPHUS COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS GETTING A SONG AND DANCE FROM THE MAGNUSSEN SERVICE DEPT. RUDY BUILT AND DROVE RACE CARS FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS, AND KNEW I HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER BOB (WHO IS NO LONGER THERE) SAID THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE BROKEN IN, NOT ENOUGH MILES ON THE CAR. BOB ALSO SAID THAT ALL MAZDA 626'S DRIVE LIKE THIS (TRANSMISSION SLIPPING/OVERRUNNING IN GEAR). IN ADDITION, I WAS TOLD TO KEEP A JOURNAL OF EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED. THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM, WRITING AND DRIVING AT THE SAME TIME. AGAIN, RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO MAGNUSSEN'S AND MET WITH A DIFFERENT SVC MANAGER. HERE IT IS APRIL 2002, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION TECH WAS GOING TO RUN A SPECIAL TEST ON THE CAR (LINE PRESSURE CHECK AT IDLE AND STALL SPEEDS). SURE ENOUGH, I WAS RIGHT! THE TEST INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIPS LOT, THE CAR WAS (AND IS) RUNNING WORSE THAN EVER. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST. I RETURN THE C

2001 MAZDA 626 ESV6 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SLIPS AND JERKS. THE TRANS HAS BEEN REPLACED IN THE EARLY 30K RANGE. IT IS NOW IN THE 63K RANGE AND STARTING AGAIN. PLEASE HELP. WE ARE BEING TOLD IT WILL COST US 2800 FOR REPAIRS.

RETAINING CLIP FROM TRANSMISSION GEARSHIFT LEVER (ON TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY) WAS FOUND MISSING AND SHIFT CABLE BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM LEVER CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE STUCK IN REVERSE (THE GEAR VEHICLE WAS IN WHEN COMPONENT FAILED). THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS SHIFTER INDICATOR SHOWED VEHICLE IN DRIVE. *LA

2001 MAZDA 626 AT 30,000 MILE CHECK. ROTORS ARE RUSTING MORE THAN USUAL, WITH ONLY ABOUT 70% CONTACT WITH THE BREAK PADS. IT STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOT A WARRANTY. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIMS THAT THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. I CLAIM THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE AVERAGE FOR REPAIR WORK ON BREAKS IS ABOUT 40-50,000 MILES. THIS IS WELL UNDER THAT AND 90% HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED.*AK

THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE, BECAUSE ALWAYS SOMETHING RELATED TO IT IS OUT OF WORK. FREQUENTLY IT IS REFLECTED IN THE AIR CONDITIONING. FOR INSTANCE, THE LAST TIME THE AIR CONDITION (A/C) WAS REPAIRED, THAT REPAIRMAN LEFT THE CLAXON AND THE REAR DEFROST OUT OF WORK. THE A/C HAS BEEN REPAIRED TOO MANY TIMES THAT IT DOES NOT FIT WITH A NEW VEHICLE. NOWADAYS IT IS OUT OF WORK AGAIN. I FEAR THAT NEXT TIME IS THE LIGHTS TO BE OFF WHEN JUST DRIVING. IN INCIDENT DATE, NEXT DATA REQUIRED IN THIS SCHEME, I AM PUTTING THE LAST REPAIR IN THE DEALER. *LA

MY CAR WAS PURCHASED FEBRUARY 2001. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION STOP SHIFTING. *LA

I HAVE A 2001 MAZDA 626. THE OVER DRIVE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, WITHIN 15 MINUTES I WAS AT THE DEALER. I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF FAILURE. THE LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. I PUT AN EXTERNAL TRANSMISSION RADIATOR AND THE LIGHT HAS NOT TURNED ON. I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES 4 TIMES IN SIX MONTHS. THEY SAY IT IS MY DRIVING. HOW CAN THIS BE? ONCE IT TOOK THEM A WEEK TO PUT BRAKE PADS. THAT MONDAY THEY SAID IT NEEDED ROTORS AND DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THAT FRIDAY I PICKED UP MY CAR AND THEY SAID IT DID NOT NEED ROTORS AFTER ALL!!! THEY RENTED ME A CAR, 2 MONTHS LATER MY CREDIT CARD WAS CHARGED FOR THE WEEKS RENTAL. BESIDES THIS THE NATIONAL CITY MILE OF CARS WESCOTT MAZDA-KIA DEALER ARE SEXIST AND DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WOMEN. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE GUY (TOM) CALLED ME AN ASS AND NEVER APOLOGIZED EVEN AFTER I TOLD HIS BOSS. *LA

2001 MAZDA 626 V6: WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM ON DRIVERS SIDE QUIT BECAUSE NUT THAT HOLDS THE ARM ON FELL OFF. THE WORKING ARE ENCLOSED AND I COULD NOT FIX.

CONSUMER HAD TO PAY $65 FOR A NEW BATTERY.CONSUMER CANCELLED WARRANTY, STATING SLUDGE IN ENGINE. THAT WAS A LIE. TOWED VEHICLE TO OCEAN MAZDA, THEY DID NOT FIND SLUDGE.

I OWN A 2001 MAZDA 626 WITH 45,000 MILES. HIGH MILEAGE DO TO 90%HIWAY DRIVING IN MY WORK. AT ABOUT 38000 MILES NOTICED A VIOLENT VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT HI SPEED AND A LOUD CLUNK WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. DEALER SAID NO WARRANTY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. DEALER ADVISED ME TO GET THE ROTORS TURNED WHEN THE BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT AT AROUND 80000 TO 90000 MILES. THEY SAID THE CLUNKING SOUND IS NORMAL WHEN THE ROTORS ARE WARPED. DEALER SAID WARRNTY DOES NOT COVER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. DEFECTIVE BRAKE AT 38000 HIGHWAY MILES IS NOT ROUTINE IN MY OPINION. LAST TIME I WILL OWN A MAZDA.*AK

I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE I REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE COLLISION OCCURED IN A 45 MPH ZONE. AS A RESULT I SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. I NOW HAVE A CUT ON MY HEAD AND TWO BLACK EYES. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED DESPITE THE $7500.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.

I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE MAZDA DEALER.

DURING A TOTAL FRONTAL COLLISION, WHERE MY MAZDA REAR-ENDED A LEXUS SUV, AT A SPEED B/T 25 AND 30 MPH, THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS OVER $5600 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY CAR DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE COLLISION. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED MUSCULAR AND COMPRESSION INJURIES IN THIS COLLISION. MEDICAL CARE WAS SOUGHT FOR THESE INJURIES. THESE INJURIES MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CORRECTLY. DURING THE COLLISION, I WENT UNDERNEATH THE SUV AND THEREFORE THE LOWEST PART OF THE FRONT BUMPER WAS NOT TOUCHED. HOWEVER, THE REST OF THE FRONT END SUFFERED MUCH DAMAGE. THE AIRBAG SENSORS MUST BE LOCATED IN THIS LOWER BUMPER AREA. THIS IS NOT GOOD, IF I WOULD HAVE HIT THE SUV HARDER, I WOULD HAVE STILL GONE UNDER THEIR TRUNK AND WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY SUFFERED MORE DAMAGES BUT WITHOUT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING BECAUSE THE SENSORS WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN LOCATED TOO LOW TO BE ACTIVATED.*AK

MY SON HIT A TELEPHONE POLE AFTER HE HIT SOME BLACK ICE. HE WAS GOING ABOUT 30MPH AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR INSIDE AND OUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO FORWARD THEM TO YOU. MAZDA IS REALLY PASSING THE BUCK. I AM THANKFUL MY SON ONLY HAD A BROKEN WRIST AND HAD TO HAVE SURGERY TO PUT A SCREW IN. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. I WOULDN'T WANT ANOTHER FAMILY TO GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE TO GET SOME RESULTS OUT OF MAZDA. THANKS AGAIN!!
