    THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN OCTOBER 2001. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2002. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS JUST A LEMON.

    I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I WILL NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION CHAIN TO THE TUNE OF $800.00 AND AM HORRIFIED TO FIND OUT THAT NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED A RECALL OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE MAZDA 626. AFTER REVIEWING YOUR WEBSITE COMPLAINTS, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT NHTSA IS THINKING, I'M GUESSING THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED YET, THEREFORE THE DELAY IN CALLING A RECALL. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THIS AGAIN IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. ONLY HAVE 75,000 MILES, ORIGINAL OWNER AND THOUGHT I WAS DRIVING ONE OF THE SAFEST VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. SILLY ME

    THE TRANSMISSION ON MY MAZDA 626 1998 ES (V6) IS EXTREMELY DEFECTIVE. I'M NOW ON MY THIRD TRANSMISSION AND HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO 1/2 THE VALUE OF THE CAR ITSELF. BOTH TRANSMISSION FAULTED TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. IN ADDITION, MY GEARS STICK TO THE POINT WHERE IT MAKES THE CAR JERK.
