Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 1998 MAZDA 626 WITH 89,000 MILES JUST FAILED. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, A PUMP FAILED, AND NOW MY CAR HAS "NO FORWARD GEARS." I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURES ARE VERY COMMON WITH THIS MODEL, DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW OF WHICH MAZDA IS AWARE. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT, BUT I BELIEVE THAT MAZDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT RECALLING THIS MODEL AND CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM. *NM
