Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED THE FIRST TIME IN EARLY SPRING OF 2003. MY 626 HAD JUST TURNED OVER 53,000 MILES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT. CALLED FOR A TOW, TRANSMISSION PLACE SAID THAT IT WAS LIKELY TO HAVE TO BE A FULL REBUILD. I CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY CALLED MAZDA AND MAZDA PAID FOR NEW TRANSMISSION AND TOW, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS WEEKEND, DRIVING CAR, NO SIGN OF ANY ISSUE, JUST HAD A FLUID FLUSH DONE ON THE CAR 6,000 MILES AGO SO I KNOW THAT IS FINE. COME HOME AFTER A WEEKEND OF CITY DRIVING AND GO TO GET IN THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT. STAYS IN PARK NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I MOVE SHIFTER TO. TAKING IT IN AGAIN WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES ON THE ~NEW~ TRANSMISSION THAT MAZDA PAID FOR THE FIRST TIME ROUND. CAR ONLY HAD 98,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS SUFFERED 2 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. *TR
