Problem Mazda transmission failure.Mazda Protege 1999 this car had a major engine overhaul recent about a year from now. One month after overhaul transmission failed. Mazda refused to be responsible for this failure. Transmission was replaced at owner expense exactly one year after that transmission was fixed failure again. Again transmission not covered out of warranty. Estimate as to how much has been spent so far $3,500. As of now I cant drive this car because the car cant be moved due to malfunction. After research online I have found this VIN number on this Mazda has had issues with transmission failure at off lamp flashing no shift condition 3rd gear shift ration set erratic shifts issues with transmission issues etc. I personally feel they should compensate or at least try and help to get this resolved and they refuse to admit they have an issue with the transmissions on this car VIN very bad practice this should be a recall or at least try and help pay for all these damages I don't think I should have to buy a car transmission every year because they don't want to admit or take any responsibility with this "known issue" I called Mazda they said I have to pay all damages on transmission I don't drive alot car is driven very minimal work and back.
