Mazda 626 Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | June 27, 2005
Reported on June 27, 2005
| TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN ACTING UNUSUAL BUT I MISTAKINGLY THOUGHT IT WAS HOW THE RIDE WAS IN THE BRAND NEW 2001 MAZDA 626 WHEN BOUGHT IN APRIL 2001. IT WAS HEAVY AND I WAS USED TO DRIVING HEAVIER CARS. 53,000 MILES LATER THE TRANSMISSION DIES AND THE SERVICER AT THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME ITS BURNT. WANTS TO CHARGE $3700 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I STILL OWE $3700 ON THE CAR IN PAYMENTS. RESEARCH ON THE WEB TELLS ME THE TRANSMISSION HAS A COOLING SYSTEM ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (@ ABOUT $800) IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. DYING TRANSMISSION CAUSED CAR TO ROLL BACK IN D...BEWARE!!! | |
