1995 MAZDA 626 Complaints

PRIOR TO RECEIVING RECALL 98V249, THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, AND THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE MODULE, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE MONITOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THEN WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE ELSE THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIRS. *SLC *SCC

THE TRANSMISSION IS A POOR PRODUCT. AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE I HAVE RETURNED 6 PREVIOUS TIMES TO GET IT REPAIRED AGAIN. FORD/MAZDA SHOULD STAND BY THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 75MPH HEARD NOISE AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. AS A RESULT BUSHING IN TRANSAXLE THAT WENT INTO TRANSMISSION WORE OUT AND CAME LOOSE.*AK

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A RED LIGHT. FORCING CONSUMER TO HIT A BUILDING . THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*JB

ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON REPEATEDLY WHEN ACCELERATING AT ANY SPEED. CAR DOES NOT CHANGE ITS FEEL. MECHANIC HAVING DIFFICULTY FINDING PROBLEM. MAY BE OXYGEN SENSOR BUT NOT SURE. AFTER CHECKING ON THIS SITE HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONCLUSION HOW TO FIX THIS? IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT I SEE OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT? ANY HELP THAT CAN BE OFFERED WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.*AK

VEHICLE CUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED OR SLOWING TO STOP. VEHICLE HESISTATES AS A WARNING BEFORE STALLING. OVERDRIVE LIGHT AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD. TWICE, VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A NEGATIVE RESPONSE. DEALER WAS AWARE. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS PROGRESSING. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

WHEN WILL THE COMPANY BE MADE TO RECALL THIS LEMON?! I AM SELLING AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MAZDA. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

THE O/D LIGHT WOULD FLASH WHEN THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT HOUR AND HALF AT HIGH SPEED. *AK

DOING RESEARCH ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE I FOUND AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE TRANSMISSION FAILURES. AND THE CAR MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPAIR AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM. ****DIMS 11 IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****761121. *AK *JB

THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1995 MAZDA 626. MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND AT THE SAME TIME MY OVERDRIVE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. GRADUALLY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REBUILT.*AK
