problem #2

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

I own a 2000 Mazda 626 with only 90,000 miles. I have been stranded several times in this car and spent over $3000 parts and labor. I had to replace the catalytic converter, several sensors, master break cylinder, cv boots, and rack and pinion. Now I am having trouble with the transmission and the ac. The mechanic says I need to rebuild the trans and replace the ac compressor. This is another $3000 or more. I am very disappointed in this situation. I plead with you to take action on this. I have checked several web forums and found similar problems. Please, please make Mazda accountable for building such bad cars. Fyi, I am very, very diligent in general maintenance. Thanks for your time. Chris.

The brake pads must be replaced every 6-8 months because of wear, the brakes can be felt grinding when applied. Acrid, burning rubber smell in the passenger compartment when waiting at traffic signals and stop signs. Dealer refused to examine the car without a recall letter, however research revealed this car's VIN # is in the recall group.
