Consumer Description

I OWN A 1998 MAZDA 626 4 CYLINDER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE NOW, 1ST REPAIR WAS OVER $2,000 SECOND REPAIR WILL BE JUST AS MUCH OR MORE. AFTER CHECKING MESSAGE BOARDS ON THE INTERNET AND TALKING TO TRANSMISSION MECHANICS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH ALL THESE FORD/MAZDA VEHICLES. WITH A FAILURE RATE THIS HIGH AND CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES OVER SEVERAL YEARS SOME SORT OF RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE. THERE IS ALSO A DANGER FACTOR WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS, THEY HAVE A HUGE TENDENCY TO OVER HEAT CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO BOIL OVER THROUGH THE DIPSTICK CAUSING OIL SLICKS ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. *NM
