Consumer Description

IN FEB. 2005 I PURCHASED A 97 MAZDA 626 WITH 74000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT STARTED IDLING AT 500-2500 RPMS AND HAD TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS. AROUND 75 MPH IT WOULD CUT OUT AND DROP TO 60 MPH BEFORE JERKING BACK INTO GEAR. LAST MONTH MY O/D OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTING LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. I HAD THAT FIXED, HAD A NEW O2 SENSOR PUT IN, AND MY O/D OFF LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON. NOW MY OVERDRIVE DOESNT WORK AT ALL AND I HAVE TROUBLE SWITCHING IT OUT OF LOW GEARS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AFTER ALREADY PUTTING A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY INTO REPAIRS. I HAVE 84000 MILES ON IT RIGHT NOW, AND AFTER SEEING HUNDREDS OF OTHER SIMILIAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE, AM OUTRAGED THAT MAZDA IS DOING NOTHING AS FAR AS A RECALL.
