Consumer Description

QUICK VERSION: TRANSMISSION DIED IN CAR TWICE. FIRST TIME IT DIED AROUND 112500 MILES. SECOND TIME IT DIED 11500 MILES LATER. STILL RUNNING ON SECOND REPAIR JOB AS OF 12/12/2002. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ROUGH (WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS "STANDARD" BEHAVIOR) FOR THE ENTIRE TIME I OWNED THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION DIED A YEAR AGO AND THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT $4000 TO REPLACE IT. I WENT TO A PRIVATE TRANSMISSION SHOP INSTEAD AND CUT THAT COST IN HALF. REPAIR JOB DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG, HOWEVER AND I WOUND UP GOING TO A DIFFERENT SHOP THE SECOND TIME. STILL RUNNING FOR THE MOMENT. I FULLY BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE REGARDING THE 626'S TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, MY OPINION IS SHARED BY MANY.
