Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2000 MAZDA 626 LX FROM A NEIGHBOR, AND WITH ONLY 95K ON THE ODOMETER, THE CAR BEGAN SHIFTING ROUGH. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO CAUSE MUCH OF A PROBLEM AND I CONTINUED TO PROVIDE GENERAL MAINTENANCE FOR THE CAR. HOWEVER, I ALMOST NEVER TRAVELED OUTSIDE OF A 20 MILE RADIUS WITH THE VEHICLE. ONCE I DID TRAVEL ABOUT 40 MILES AWAY, THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN AND REFUSED TO ENTER INTO DRIVE, BUT ONLY THE LOWER GEARS. AS I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS, IT BECAME READILY APPARENT THAT A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS COMMON FOR THE MAZDA 626 MODEL. I AM NOW FACED WITH REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $2,000 PLUS. *TR
