1995 MAZDA 626 Complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 41,133 MILES SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 44,542 MILES. *MJS

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION WITH A CONCRETE BARRIER AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH, AND BOTH AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. DRIVER SUSTAINED CUTS AND BRUISES DUE TO AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONING. DEALER/MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT COLLISION OCCURRING THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN RECALL 98V249000. HOWEVER, RECALL REMEDY DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DID NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP. DEALER SAID IT WAS A LOOSE CLIP. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED ON THE SAME WINDOW. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THIS WEEKEND "OVERDRIVE OFF" STARTED BLINKING ON MY DASH. CALLED SERVICE IN THE CITY VISITING AND THEY SAID I SHOULD HAVE IT CHECKED WHEN I RETURN HOME. I TOOK IT IN MONDAY EVENING AND WAS TOLD I NEED A COMPLETELY NEW TRANSMISSION (2500.00). A SALELSMAN TOLD ME THEY JUST HAD SOMEONE TRADE THE SAME MODEL IN WITH THE VERY SAME PROBLEM..... SHOULD A TRANSMISSION FAIL LIKE THAT WITH ONLY 75,000+ MILES ON IT?

WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH CAUSED A CRASH AND INJURIES. IN JAN. 1999, HAD RECALL 98V249000, AND THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. *AK

TRANSMISSON FLUID BYPASSED THE TORQUE CONVERTER SEAL , SUCKING AIR WITH THE FLUID. FLUID AND CLUTCH PACK BURNED, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO GO. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TWO TIMES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. *AK

HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTER WITHIN THE ENGINE VALVE COVER GASKETS; 14 OUT OF 16 LIFTERS HAVE GONE BAD. MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAS MANUFACTURED REPLACEMENT PARTS. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER, DEALER STATED ALL LIFTERS NEED REPLACING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE AIRFLOW SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACE 3XS, THE VEHICLE STALLS UNEXPECTLY WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. *YC

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY CAR. SINCE THEN, I HAVE READ ALOT OF ARTICLES ON THE WEB AND MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD ALOT OF MAZDA 626 THEY HAVE REPAIRED.
