I PURCHASED 1995 MAZDA 626 IN 1996. SOON AFTER DRVING JUST OVER 50,000 MILES, MY CAR JUST NOT MOVING ON THE ROAD. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON GAS PEDAL, THERE WAS JUST A BIG NOISE. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AT ALL. (BEFORE THAT THING HAPPENED, I NOTICED MY CAR HAD LESS POWER, SO I HAD MY CAR TUNED UP.) I TOWED MY CAR AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. SO I REPLACED IT. THAT WAS NOV. 17. 1998. THE COST WAS 1107.75. I THOUGHT I HAD A BAD LUCK. SEVERAL YEARS LATER, I FOUND THAT O/D SIGN BLINK ALL THE TIME. IN 2003, SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. I REPLACE IT AT THE SAME SHOP ON MARCH 10. 2003. BY PAYING 913.00. IN 2004, THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE AGAIN. MY MECHANIC FIXED IT-NOT REPLACED IT- BUT SEVERAL MONTHS LATER IT WAS GONE COMPLETELY. IF I REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, THIS WILL BE THIRD TIME. I HAVE NOT DONE YET. AND I DECIDE TO BRING THIS MATTER TO THE LAW. *AK

WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH BOTH TIRES ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BLEW OUT, AND BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, STRIKING THE CONSUMER IN THE FACE. THE TIRES WERE NOT BRAND NAME TIRES.*AK

WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS WERE ACTIVATED, THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. ONCE THE TURN WAS MADE THE HEADLIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THE CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB......MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH WAS REPLACED ON 12/22/2004. SUN LIGHT BURNED A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUN VISOR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. IF THE SUNLIGHT BURNS THE FABRIC OF THE SUN VISOR THEN THE FABRIC OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE MUST BE VERY FLAMMABLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE HIT A POTHOLE AND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS VIOLENTLY DEPLOYED SHATTERING THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE CAR TO HIT THE SIDEWALK, EXPLODING 2 TIRES, BLOCK DRIVER EYE GLASSES AND INJURING THE DRIVER FACE. THE MANUFACTURER INITIALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE RECALL ON THE CAR AND ACCEPTED TO REPAIR BUT LATER DIRECTED THE VICTIM TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. *LA RECALL #98V249000. SC

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE POWER STEERING FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE STARTING SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL SENDING THE VEHICLE OVER THE MEDIAN.
