    BOUGHT THE MAZDA (I HATE THE CAR NOW) FROM A PRIVATE OWNER WHO HAD MAINTAINED THE CAR VERY WELL (HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS) AT 70,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN AFTER 2 WEEKS. REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE/REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. COST $2100.00. RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MOSTLY ALL MAZDA CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOTHING IS BEING DONE. SOMEBODY SHOULD TAKE SERIOUS ACTION BECAUSE IT POSES SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE IT COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. *AK
