Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER OF A 1999 MAZDA 626 LX AND AT 118,000 MILES AND NO SIGNS AT ALL THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY CAR. I AM A MOTHER OF 2 AND I ALSO BABY SIT FOR A LIVING. I HAD 3 CHILDREN WITH ME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND LEFT US ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANK GOD FOR CELL PHONES. I NEVER HAD ANY SIGNS OF A PROBLEM AT ALL NOR WAS I AWARE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 626 UNTIL THIS HAPPENED TO ME. I STILL HAVE 4 PAYMENTS ON MY VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED AND I AM HEART SICK THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE. I WISH THAT I HAD KNOWN ABOUT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 626 BEFORE I PURCHASED MINE. *JB
