WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER JUST DROP OFF MY DAUGHTER, I PROCEEDED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST THREW ME IN PARK. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THEN I PUT IN GEAR AND IT WAS DRIVING FINE AND THEN THE HOLD LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. WHILE DRIVING HOME IT WAS FINE AND THEN AGAIN IT STARTED ALL OVER. *JB

I BOUGHT MY 1995 MAZDA 626 AUTOMATIC NEW AT ABOUT 57000 MILES(JUST OUT OF WARRANTY) THE O/D LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING AND THE TRANSMISSION RAN ROUGH ESP. BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. MAZDA WANTED ME TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN AT A COST OF $1700,WHICH I DECLINED. NOW WITH 140000 MILES,I HAVE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION RE-BUILT AT A COST OF $2100. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS BEEN A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM WITH MAZDA'S AND I THINK THEY SHOULD COVER THEIR PARTS AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS! *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL TO GO INTO REVERSE. DIAGNOSIS OF TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID PROBLEM WAS COMMON FOR THIS MODEL AND INDICATING TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND NEEDED REBUILD. TRANSMISSION REBUILD FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

1. TIRES MAKE A LOUD "WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP" SOUND THAT INCREASE SPEED AND VOLUME AS THE CAR ACCELERATES. 2. THE NOISE IS TIRE SEPARATION, THE NOISE IS CONSTANT AND CONTINUALLY GETTING LOUDER. THE TIRES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY COMPLETELY SHREDDED APART YET. 3. WE HAVE REPLACED BOTH CV BOOTS, BOTH HALF SHAFTS, CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, HAD BRAKES INSPECTED, HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE AND NOISE REMAINS THE SAME. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2007 AND FROM THE START THERE WERE PROBLEMS. THE OVER DRIVE LIGHT POPS ON AND OFF, KEEPS OVERHEATING EVEN AFTER HAD FULL FLUID FLUSH, REPLACED OLD BATTERY WITH NEW ONE AND CAR CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF, TAKES 10 MIN TO START. I GOT IT FIXED IN MARCH OF 2008 FOR THE PROBLEMS STATED ABOVE AND AGAIN IN SEPT 2008 FOR SAME PROBLEMS BUT WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY. THEY SAID ITS BECAUSE 2 OUT OF THE 4 CYLINDERS ARE REALLY LOW. IF THAT'S THE CASE WHY DIDN'T THE OTHER COMPANY ADVISE ME OF THAT SAME PROBLEM. NOW THE CAR WON'T START. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR ND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST SERIOUS ISSUE WAS THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 1 YEAR OLD. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND RESTART IT AND GO HOME. *TR

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY 1995 MAZDA 626'S TRANSMISSION. IT IS ONLY AT 93,000 MILES, AND I THINK THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. IT SHIFTS VERY HARD INTO GEAR. WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE, SOMETIMES IT SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL IF I AM IDLING. I USUALLY HAVE TO SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE FOR IT TO GET BACK IN GEAR. I AM TAKING IT TO GET CHECKED OUT TONIGHT. *TR

I OWN A 1995 MAZDA 626 AND WAS MADE AWARE THAT IT HAS DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE O/D LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BLINKS ON AND THE CAR JERKS AND SHAKES AT STOPS. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED AND DID SOME RESEARCH AS A RESULT. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE HAVE CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION AT LEAST TWICE. IT TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION BUILT BY FORD WAS KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEMS, AND MAZDA SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. *TR
