'HOLD' LIGHT FLASHING. CAR WONT MOVE IN DRIVE/SECOND/FIRST OR REVERSE UNTIL RPM INCREASED TO APPROX 4000, THAT TOO VERY SLOWLY. ENGINE SPEED REMAINS ABNORMALY UNPROPORTIONATE TO VEHICLE SPEED AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING OR WHEN ACCELERATING EVEN AT VERY LOW SPEEDS.*AK

I RECENTLY VISITED A COMPLAINT.COM SITE AND SAW MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH 93 MAZDA 626'S. I COUNTED 14 IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS WITH OTHERS ONLY EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED. I AM HOPING THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW-SUIT AGAINST MAZDA FOR THESE ISSUES - AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE OR GUIDANCE THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER TO GAIN REIMBURSEMENT FOR DEFICIENCIES THAT I HAVE LISTED. IN TOTAL, I AND OTHERS ARE SPENDING THOUSANDS TO MAKE A CAR SAFE WELL BEFORE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE AUTOMOBILE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. NO SAFETY DEFEC TMENTIONED. *AK

CAR GOES DEAD AT LIGHTS AND AROUND CURVES AND DURING PULLOFFS FROM ANY POSITION FROM A START TO STO, STEERING ASSEMLY VERY LOOSE HAVE TO SWERVE SOMETIMES. *AK

DURING A SHORT DRIVE ON A 2 LANE ROAD, IN THE EVENING, DURING A SNOWSTORM, THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE, HAD A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE, WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR IMPENDING INDICATION. THERE WAS TOTAL & SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT (EVER) RESTART & NEEDED TO BE TOWED AWAY. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE ENTIRE DISTRIBUTOR ASSY. & SAYING IT IS A 'COMMON FAILURE' WITH THIS SERIES OF MAZDA VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY SIMILIAR PRODUCT AS THE FORD PROBE, WHICH ALSO WAS RECALLED FOR IGNITION PROBLEMS. SHOULD THE DOMESTIC MADE MAZDA'S HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FORD RECALL? IN URBAN DRIVING SITUATIONS & UNDER NIGHTTIME CONDITIONS, THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.*AK

A NEW TIRE LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS OLD HAD TREAD SEPARATIION.(NO TIRE INFO GIVEN) *YH

TRANSMISSION LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND VEHICLE WASN'T RUNNING PROPERLY. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSION.*AK

I'VE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THE MAZDA 626. I HAD NO IDEA HOW BAD IT WAS. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THESE TRANSMISSIONS.THE TRANI SHOP THAT CURRENTLY HAS MY CAR ALSO HAS 4 OTHER MAZDA 626'S ON THE LOT FOR TRANI REPLACEMENTS. THAT IS RIDICULOUS.*AK

HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, HAS TO KEEP MESSING WITH SWITCH FOR HEADLIGHTS TO EVENTUALLY COME BACK ON.*AK
