We bought a 1995 626 Mazda from a local dealer and right away we began to have problems with the transmission, I called a Mazda dealership and they stated that the transmissions in these cars burn up very easy due to a design flaw in the transmission cooling system, there are a lot of complaints concerning these cars to the best of my understanding the Mazda Corp. Will not acknowledge that there is a problem. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated thank you.

I am wrting to complain about the Mazda 626. I believe there should be a recall put out on the transmission on these cars. The transmission in my car went bad at 75,000 miles. Mazda will do nothing to fix the problem although thousands of people are experiencing the same problems.

I purchased a 1995 Mazda 626 used with 64000 miles Oct 1999 the very next day the transmission had to be replaced. The car hit 120000 and I had to have the transmission replaced again. The transmission is going out again and it has not been but 10 months since the last one. I think the transmissions are faulty made and I have been researching this and hundreds if not thousands of other people have had the same problem. The car also lunges and stalls for no reason.

I own a 1995 Mazda 626 LX (4 cyl w/ automatic transmission). Everytime I drive the car, the overdrive light flashes and the car shakes. It appears that something is wrong with the transmission. When I am driving, very often I cannot accelerate the car even though I am stepping on the accelerator. Instead of accelerating, the RPM just rev up (like the transmission is in neutral and you step on the accelerator although the transmission is in drive). I have been noticing this for over a year now.

Automatic transmission is failing. It shifts erratically for no reason at 60 mph. The dealership says it is failing and needs to be replaced at a cost of $2,800 for a remanufactured transmission.

O/D light start flashing at about 93,000miles and car is jerking while accelerating from low speed. Dealer said the transmission need to be replaced. Research on the web shows this is a well known problems and definitely should be recalled!

I own a 1995 Mazda 626 LX and the transmission has failed. I took it to a dealer and they said, "the 1993-1998 transmissions are all bad due to the lack of a transmission cooler and need to be replaced. I have no idea why Mazda hasn't issued a recall yet." This was very upsetting, so I am registering this complaint on behalf of myself and all the other Mazda 626 owners that I have read about on web sites and online bulletin boards. If the company won't admit that the Ford transmissions are faulty then you need to stand up for all the consumers and force a recall.

I bought my 1995 Mazda 626 in 1999 with 86,000 by 2000 I replaced the transmission. On July 5,2003 my tranmission went out again.

- Lawrenceville, VA, USA

Od off light flashes; mechanic checked and replaced O2 sensor. Problem still happens. Research on this website indicates I am looking at a transmission replacement soon. I think the number of complaints about the same problem warrants a recall.

- Oviedo, FL, USA

I own a 95 Mazda 626 LX - the transmission has been giving me problems. I'm about to get my transmission fixed for the 2nd time since I've owned it. It has 75,000 miles on it. The O/D light flashes when I drive at least 40 straight miles without stopping. This is my 2nd Mazda. I had a 323 prior and I had to fix the transmission on that also.

- Yonkers, NY, USA

Faulty transmission at 5,000 miles which the dealer replaced. The car now has 109,000 miles and the transmission needed to be replaced again. Transmission had harsh engagement.

Mazda 626 transmission broke after just 50000 miles: We were driving from NY to pittsburgh on our way home and the O/D light started flashing. After pulling the car to the next exit burning smell started coming in so we took the car to pep boys who changed the transmission fluid but it still didn't fix the problem of car unable to move/slip gears when occasionally it moved. Took the car to aamco who replaced the whole transmission and the total cost came to somewhere like $4000. On doing further research on the internet found out that Mazda was putting Ford transmissions in some of there vehicles and Ford had issue with the transmissions for there own vehicles at one point. Here is the link for all the people who had issues with there transmission for Mazda cars. I was just wondering with so many people having issues and many more who haven't even registered or filed complaint, how come authorities have not yet recalled this car or ordered Mazda to fix this issue at there own cost. I have tried to talk to Mazda directly and it has just been waste of time for me. Hopefully there would be some action taken soon for this transmission issue. www.cartrackers.com/forums/live/yourlemon/189.html
