FAILED TRANSMISSION ON A 1995 MAZDA 626 WITH 70,000 MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW. FIRST TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY DEALER WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES. *NLM

95 MAZDA 626 O/D LIGHT BLINKS OFF AND ON CAR OVERHEATS.FIRST TOOK MY CAR THERE TO HAVE NEW SENSOR PUT IN, IT WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT WHATIS WRONG.I HAVE READ REPORTS THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MAKE AND MODEL. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.*AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. IT SHIFTS ERRATICALLY FOR NO REASON AT 60 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS FAILING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2,800 FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE TRAVELING AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION, THE VEHICLE HIT A CURVE AND THE FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. *AK WHEN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THEY DESTROYED THE STEERING WHEEL, PASSENGER DASHBOARD, PASSENGER SUN VISOR, AND THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE AIR BAG SENSOR. THE CONSUMER FELT HE SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR(S). *SCC *JB

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

I OWN A 1995 MAZDA 626 LX AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID, "THE 1993-1998 TRANSMISSIONS ARE ALL BAD DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRANSMISSION COOLER AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY MAZDA HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL YET." 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

I BOUGHT MY 1995 MAZDA 626 IN 1999 WITH 86,000 BY 2000 I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. ON JULY 5,2003 MY TRANMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN. *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

OD OFF LIGHT FLASHES; MECHANIC CHECKED AND REPLACED O2 SENSOR. PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. RESEARCH ON THIS WEBSITE INDICATES I AM LOOKING AT A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT SOON. I THINK THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WARRANTS A RECALL. *NLM
