I am complaining about my 1998 Mazda 626. This car has been trouble ever since day one. I have had to replace the timing belt, the drive axles twice, and put in 4 transmissions. I have had the car since 2002 and had to replace the transmission every year. I could hardy make my car payments for having to spend extra money to repair my car.
Transmission failed in year 5 of operation for 1998 Mazda 626. I am aware that I am not alone with my transmission problem regarding 1994-1998 Mazda 626S. This is too soon to be disposing of an automobile because of a big ticket item. Very disappointed. Won't ever buy Mazda again. Also, front, right axle joint was failing/loose a year ago, 3 repairs/axle replacement and $1000 later, the problem has not been fixed. Absolutely no faith in Mazda, or the service department located in burnsville, mn.
Front axle pulls out of the transmission and the steering wheel wobbles. Could lose control if driving at high speeds on highways, also, when making a turn, cannot drive. There is no indication that problem will occur when making a turn. The dealer cannot duplicate the problem. However, they will replace the axle, but they do not have a new axle in stock.
