Like a fool, I purchased this Mazda 626 third hand because I could not afford a new car and always thought the 626 was a nice looking car. So I went to test drive it and it drove well for the test drive. I bought the car with cash. I live an hour away from where I bought it. The car drove fine until I was within the last ten miles of my house. At a red light I stopped. When it turned green the car revved up, rpms in the 40 to 50 range, but barely moved. I limped the car home, aggravated and very pissed off!
I called the man I bought the car from when I got home. He acted like he did not know the transmission was failing. After doing research online I now know the trannys in these cars are terrible and there is no way he was not aware of that. The man said he never had a problem with the tranny but after all my research I know that he did not disclose anything about the transmission failing, which I know is a lie.
Before this happened I liked Mazdas. Now I despise them. How can a company install defective transmissions in cars and then refuse to replace them and continue year after year to use the same POS transmissions? I will never buy another Mazda. So I told the guy I bought this car from I am going to take him to small claims court if he does not give me my money back. As of today I am going to have to get a tow truck to take the car back to him. He said he would give me my money back, but we shall see.
