NHTSA Complaint #10103964 — 1994 MAZDA 626

1.)I PURCHASED A 1994 MAZDA 626 W/AT AND 2.0L ENGINE. TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REBUILT TWELVE MILES BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. I DROVE IT HOME, AND THAT EVENING THE TRANSMISSION HAD LEAKED ABOUT 4 QUARTS INTO MY LAWN. I HAD NOT DRIVEN IT IN A WRECKLESS MATTER WHATSOEVER. SINCE THERE WAS A WARRANTY ON THE REBUILD, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM WHERE I HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH IT OVER THE NEXT 4 MONTHS. DURING THESE EVENTS, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE TONS OF OTHER 626 OWNERS LIKE ME HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. 2.)IT'S INFLICTED MORE THAN USUAL STRAIN ON MY ENGINE, I'VE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME, IT HAS COSTED ME LOTS OF MONEY. ON TOP OF THIS, MY NEW TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN. 3.)THE TRANSMISSION SHOP EVENTUALLY ENDED UP SWAPPING THE TRANSMISSION OUT TWICE AND REPLACED COUNTLESS PART. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY.*AK
