Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 MAZDA 626 LX 4 CYLINDER AND FOR A FEW YEARS HAVE NOTICED HARSH SHIFTING THAT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THE OTHER DAY THE ODOMETER LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND I TOOK VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP, AND THEY SCANNED AND CODES, AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ,AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMED SO WRONG BECAUSE THE CAR ONLY HAD 111,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT WAS WRONG BECAUSE I KNEW THIS PROBLEM STARTED A LOT EARLIER WHEN I GOT THIS CAR AT 64,000 MILES. IF MAZDA KNEW ABOUT THIS COOLING ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAVE RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT , AND IF THEY KNEW THEY WILL ULTIMATELY FAIL WHY DIDN'T THEY ISSUE A RECALL? IF THEY KNEW THEY HAD INADEQUATE COOLING THEY SHOULD HAVE INSTALLED A COOLER AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT T AT HE OWNERS , AND THEY SHOULD ALSO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THEIR EXPENSE.*AK
