REPLACED FRONT ROTORS(SHOULD NOT BE REPLACED THAT EARLY) BEFORE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS WERE WORN DOWN COMPLETELY. PUT IN SHOP DEC. 01-COMPUTER SAID BAD O2 SENSOR REPLACED BOTH SENSORS(90.00) STILL SAME PROBLEM. CALLED MAZDA, FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MAZDA. THEY DID NOTHING. THEY SAID NOT ENOUGH FILES HAD BEEN ISSUED TO WARRANT A RECALL. I THINK THAT IS A LIE. ALL OVER THE INTERNET YOU FIND COMPLAINTS OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR MAZDA 626 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THESE CARS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THAT. IT IS A SHAME THAT MAZDA MAKES A PRODUCT AS THIS AND DOES NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT IT PRODUCES. THEY ARE JUST LAZY AND DO NOT CARE...
