This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Mazda 626 LX 96' transmission trouble, the transmission consistantly has problems, it's dangerous, because it will go out, at the most inconvient time. It will jolt, or slow down, extremely fast, or slip, at a stop light, and it's scary, luckly there has been no problems, if it has happed on the highway, there's no doubt there could be an accident. I've heard consistant complaints for other owners of the same model, and make, and year. www.mazda626.net/ it's mostly young adults driving this vehicle. Since they are used cars.
I have a 1996 Mazda 626 LX. With in three or four months of having this car I had to have the transmission rebuilt. Now seven months later my overdrive light has starting flashing and it doesnt want to go..my car is in the shop now having transmission fixed again..this time something is wrong with second gear. I have read thousands of the same problem with the same type of car.something must be done about this I feel a recall is needed on these transmissions.
Consumer states that while driving at any speed and without warning the transmission will shift to neutral and it will be hard for the consumer to control the vehicle. Dealer replace twice.
Intermittently the overdrive and check engine lights illuminate, when this happens the transmission does not change gears. Feel free to provide further information.
