I purchased a Mazda 626 from auto service company in 1998. At the time of purchase the car had 40865 miles on it. In Oct of 1999 the vehicle had a bad cv axle the car was taken to rader Mazda and the axle had been replaced. Nov of 1999 I was driving and I noticed that the car kept idling higher, but wasn't going any faster, I stopped at a red light and when the light turned green the car would not go forward. The car was taken to rader Mazda in augusta ga, the service representative told me that a bearing in the transmission had slipped and that the transmission had to be replaced, because they did not rebuild transmissions. I picked up the car from rader Mazda two weeks later I was on my way to NY for thanksgiving and the transmission malfunctioned again. Rader Mazda put another transmission in the automobile. A few weeks ago, the cv joint on the driver side had gone bad the car was taken to universal auto repair the joint was replaced and now the transmission is malfunctioning again. I was informed by the service technician that the car needed another transmission. The warranty from the first 2 repairs expired after 12 months or 12,000 miles. Auto service company sold me a lemon, which was a rental car and they didn't mention one time that the car was purchased from a rental car company. Had I know that I would have never bought the car.
