2000 MAZDA 626 Complaints

O/D LIGHT BLINKING AFTER LONG DRIVE. HARSH SHIFTING. OVER REVING DURING ATTEMPTED SHIFTING.*AK

I AM STARTING TO HAVE TROUBLE ON MY 2000 MAZDA 626 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. WAS THERE ANY RECALL OR FIX FOR THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE VEHICLES, WITHOUT SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS?*AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED, COMPLETELY OUT OF NOWHERE AT 110,000 MILES WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2000 MAZDA 626 SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER THAN THAT. IT COST ME $1600.00. *JB

TRANSMISSION OVER HEATS(OVERDRIVE LIGHT BLINKS), CAUSING THE CAR TO SHIFT GEARS IMPROPERLY AND IF UNTREATED BY ADDING AN EXTRA RADIATOR FOR THE TRANSMISSION IT WILL GO BAD!!!!! *JB

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING ON MY 2000 MAZDA 626 AND ALSO A FEW MONTH LATER THE MOTOR WENT OUT TOO, I HAD TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR. *NM

MY 2000 MAZDA 626 HAS JUST EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM THAT MAZDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS AND ISSUED A TSB #05-005/02 FOR- BLINKING OVERDRIVE/HOLD LIGHT ON DASH, TRANSMISSION FLUID SQUIRTING OUT OF THE DIPSTICK AND JERKY SHIFTING WHEN DRIVEN LONG DISTANCES. MAZDA SHOULD BE HELD FINANCIALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN HAVE THIS TROUBLE WITH THE MAZDA 626 SINCE THE 1994 MODEL AND STILL PRODUCES THEM WITH THIS FAULT. *NM

2000 MAZDA 626 WITH CAR DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLIES. **CC THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ASSEMBLY IN DEC 2004. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE DOOR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED USING THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH OR THE MANUAL SWITCH ON THE DOOR. THE DOOR WAS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. LATE LAST YEAR BOTH FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS BEGAN EXHIBITION SIGNS OF FAILURE. *NM

TRANSMISSION LURCHES AND DELAYS ON THE SHIFTS AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION AND THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. *JB

1. MAZDA TRANSMISSION: CAN NOT CHANGE THE FILTER. ONLY DURING THE REBUILDING OF THE TRANSMISSION CAN THE FILTER BE CHANGED. 2. PLUGGED FILTER CAUSES THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO DESTRUCT AT ANY TIME. THE CAR CAN STALL ANY WHERE ANYTIME. 3. WAS REPLACED WITH REBUILT TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF 2500.00. *JB

ACTUALLY I HAVE LIVED WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE APPROX. YR.2003 ONE DAY I ADJUSTED THE LEVER FOR THE BRIGHTS OR INDICATOR AND IT FELT AS IF IT DISENGAGED AND WAS LOOSE FROM THEN ON. IT SEEMS THAT THE LIGHT SWITCH WHICH CONNECTS WITH THE INDICATOR SIGNALS, INTERMITTENTLY THE LEFT HEADLIGHT WOULD GO IN AND OUT (MUST HAVE REPLACE IT THREE TIMES UNTIL MY HUSBAND REALIZED IT WASN'T THE BULB BUT THE SWITCH SEEMED TO HAVE BROKEN LOOSE)UNTIL RECENTLY THE INDICATOR SWITCH WOULD SHUT OUT THE LIGHTS ONCE I COMPLETE A TURN AND THE SWITCH RE-ADJUST IN PLACE. THIS WOULD HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY WITH THE BRIGHTS ON ALSO. IT WOULD VARY AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY HAPPEN. NOW THE SWITCH FOR THE BRIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL. *NM
