Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I KNOW OF A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH 626'S THAT HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, AND THE BAD THING ABOUT IT IS MAZDA KNEW ABOUT IT. WE ARE HOPING TO GET MAZDA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, IT'S PATHETIC. I WAS HOPING I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OUT OF MINE, BUT I HAVE. WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS, I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS TRANSMISSION, AND MAZDA KNOWS ABOUT IT. WHY DON'T THEY DO A RECALL? IT COULD POSE AS A HAZARD. MY CAR ERRATICALLY CHANGES GEARS, AND RPMS, IT COULD JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND CAUSE A SERIOUS WRECK. WHY WAIT UNTIL ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, WHY NOT GO AHEAD AND DO A RECALL???? *TR
