NHTSA Complaint #10120674 — 1997 MAZDA 626

A MONTH AFTER WE BOUGTH THIS CAR WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE'VE REPLACED TWO O2 SENSORS ($300.00 EACH) AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER VALVE ($450.00). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, STATING PROBLEM INSIDE TRANSMISSIONS. NOW OVERDRIVE LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS WHEN IT COMES ON AND STARTS TO BLINK THIS MEANS THE TRANSMISSION IS MELTING AND YOUR CAR WILL QUIT ON YOU WHILE YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO, WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS THE RPM'S TOP OUT BUT THE SPEED DOESN'T INCREASE. I HAD THE GAS PEDEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE CAR HAD NO POWER. HOPEFULLY, THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WILL BE RESOLVED BY YOU, SINCE MAZDA SEE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH BUILDING CARS THAT CAN POSSIBLY HURT OR KILL SOMEONE.
