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.
My 1998 626 was purchased in 2000. In September 2003 my transmission completely failed on me and had to be replaced. Ths car has been nothing but problems for me, I have had the timing belt to break on me causing my car to kill in traffic, my check engine light constanty comes on, my car stalls and jerks and yet no mechanic can find a reason for this.
Stalls and will not accelerate from complete stop, car also stalls without warning in intersections while making turns. "check engine" light flashes but does not remain on, then car suddenly jolts forward. Also shifts hard and jolts during driving. Mazda service dept. Can't find anything wrong, since there is no computer code to indicate what is causing this problem. All required maintanence has been performed, gas tank is full. Car has been serviced regularly as required by manufacturer. Help!
Ongoing problem with engine stalling at any speed vehicle been to dealer on one occasion, and the problem stilloccurring. Feel free to provide any further information.
Vehicle would stall out while driving. Engine would overheat & start smoking. Towed to Mazda dealership & mechanic indicated no oil in crankshaft & no anti-freeze in radiator. There were no lights on dashboard. This was a leased vehicle.
