Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME(LOGAN) AFTER DRIVING FROM LOGAN,UT. TO LAYTON,UT. WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP, THE RPMS REDLINED AND THE CAR STALLED OUT. I PUSHED THE CAR (1998 MAZDA 626) TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR WAS SMOKING SO I OPENED THE HOOD AND SMELLED TRANSMISSION FLUID, I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SEEN TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING ON THE ROAD. THIS CAR HAS HAD AN EXTERNAL TRANSMISSION FLUID ADDED AND IT HAS STILL GONE OUT. I AM TRYING TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM FOR MYSELF AND HAVE NOT COME TO A CONCLUSION YET. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE SERVICE TO BE DON SO I WILL TRY TO CONTACT MAZDA OR FORD TO GET THE ISSUE CORRECTED, LUCKILY I WASN'T ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY OR THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE POSSIBLY RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. *TR
