Consumer Description

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY MAZDA 626 LX 1996 MODEL. I BOUGHT THIS USED CAR ON JAN 2006 AND IT STARTED TO GIVE PROBLEMS BY SHOWING O/D LIGHTS OFF. THEN CHECK SIGN POPPED UP AND I FIXED THAT ONE. AGAIN POPPED UP AND FOUND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. I TOOK IT TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY QUOTED $1700 TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION. IN ONLINE, I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION AND IT ADVISED TO USE THIS SITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST MAZDA COMPANY. MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE ME AND THIS RAISES SAFETY ASPECT OF THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THOUGH I HAVEN'T INVESTED ANY MONEY NOW TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION BUT I AM SEEKING WHETHER MAZDA COMPANY IS PROVIDING ANY ALTERNATIVE CHANGE OR OFFER TO THEIR CUSTOMER RELATED TO TRANSMISSION. *TR
