NHTSA Complaint #10165181 — 2000 MAZDA 626

MY 2000 MAZDA 626 (56 THOUSAND MILE) DIED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND I ALMOST GOT KILLED! MY GIRLFRIEND CALLED THE MAZDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR ( EAST COAST MAZDA) AND PRETTY MUCH WAS TOLD, OH WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?? WELL, I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON IN MAZDA 626 FROM YEARS 1994-2002. I PUT OUT OVER THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A TRANSMISSION AND I THINK THEY SHOULD PAY ON CARS LIKE MINE THAT ONLY HAVE 56 THOUSAND MILES & THE TRANS DIES, PLUS PEOPLE COULD GET KILLED, I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN "NO RECALL" FOR THIS PROBLEM TO DATE, ARE THEY WAITING TO GET SUED?? THAT MONEY WAS MY VACATION MONEY SO NOW I AM OUT OF MY TRIP BECAUSE OF A BAD TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF, JUST LOOK UP MAZDA 626 TRANS PROBLEMS ON THE WEB AND SEE HOW MANY THERE ARE! *NM
