1999 MAZDA 626 Complaints

THIS IS THE 3RD TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF 1999 MAZDA 626. CAR ONLY HAS 136K MILES. *TR

MY 1999 MAZDA 626 TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ACTING UP A LOT. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND WITH RESEARCH MAZDA USED THE FORD PROBE TRANSMISSION IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE 626 UP UNTIL 2002. THE TRANSMISSION THAT COMES WITH THE CAR IS DESIGNED FOR A SMALLER, LIGHTER VEHICLE AND THUS IT IS DOOMED TO FAIL, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU REPLACE IT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PUMP $2,000 INTO A CAR THAT IS GOING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM DOWN THE ROAD. PLUS EVEN IF I COULD AFFORD IT, I CAN'T FIND THE PART IN TAMPA, FL. MAZDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO UPGRADE ALL 626 2.0L I4 TRANSMISSIONS FOR FREE, AS THEY MADE NO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

1999 MAZDA 626 - REPLACED TRANSMISSION 75-80 K MILES. NOW 110 K MILES AND BEGINNING TO OBSERVE SAME SYMPTOMS PRIOR TO LAST FAILURE. TRANSMISSION DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

I NOTICED PROBLEMS RIGHT AWAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM MY MOM. SHE RARELY DROVE IT, AND I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES A WEEK. FIRST THE CAR WOULDN'T NOT GO INTO DRIVE, THEN IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. A FRIEND OF MINE IS A MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT THE TRANS. CABLE HAD COME DETACHED. AFTER TIME CONSUMING REPAIR, THE CAR WAS FINE FOR A WEEK. NOW THE CAR ONLY GOES INTO DRIVE WHEN I FIRST PUT IT INTO SECOND. IT SLIPS IN AND OUT OF OVERDRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION IS OBVIOUSLY FAULTY. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON A 1999 MAZDA 626 HAS FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME. CAR'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AROUND 60,000 MILES AND NOW NEEDS REPLACEMENT AGAIN AT 122,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 MAZDA 626. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. 4 CYLINDER LX. THIS CAR HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING! I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND MAZDA FORUMS. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION?!? IT IS TOO SMALL FOR THIS CAR AND MORE THAN HALF OF 626 OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR TRANSMISSIONS, ONLY TO CONTINUE TO REPLACE IT AS IT WILL ALWAYS GO OUT AGAIN! *TR

1999 MAZDA 626 , 2.0 L AT STOPPED ON HIGHWAY. GOT IT TOWED WITH THE HELP OF AUTO CLUB.DIAGNOSIS SAYS THE CAR NEED TRANSMISSION WORK. NOW NEED TO SPEND NEARLY $3500.00 TO GET THE CAR RUNNING. THIS IS MORE THAN THE CAR'S VALUE. I COULD FIND FROM THE NET THAT THIS MODEL HAS EXTENSIVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. STILL THERE IS NO ACTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER'S SIDE TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

1. & 2.TIMING BELT TENSION SPRING BROKE, MAKING VEHICLE INOPERABLE & DAMAGING TIMING BELT. 3. WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF SPRING AND BELT AS WELL AS RELATED LABOR. OLD PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. NOTE: MAZDA ISSUED A RECALL IN 2000 FOR THIS PART ON SOME VEHICLES (CAMPAIGN 00V134000) , ONE GROUP OF VIN # WERE PROVIDED NHTSB AND THEN A CORRECTION WAS PROVIDED, BUT IT STOPPED SHORT OF THE # ON MY VEHICLE. SINCE THE VERY PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE, I BELIEVE MAZDA UNDERSTATED ITS RECALL. *TR
