Consumer Description

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY 1999 MAZDA 626 4 CYL. VEHICLE WAS HEADING SOUTH ON I10 IN PHOENIX WHEN SUDDENLY MY SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT FROM UNDER MY HOOD. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE AAMCO REPAIR SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO EITHER BE REBUILT OR I NEEDED TO BUY A BRAND NEW ONE... THIS COST ME 4000 DOLLARS TO FIX. *TR
