Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 MAZDA 626 LX WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS WORKED GREAT BUT AT 125,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND STILL NO RECALL? I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPUTABLE MECHANICS SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND NOT TO WASTE MY MONEY ON IT BECAUSE IT IS KNOWN FOR FAILURES. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP THAT SPECIALIZES IN TRANSMISSIONS AND WAS TOLD THE SAME STORY EXCEPT THEY FELT THEY COULD FIX THE SITUATION WITH AN AFTERMARKET VALVE KIT THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. WHY ARE MAZDA AND FORD (THE TRANSMISSION WAS BUILT BY FORD) ALLOWED TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM? *TR
