I was driving down the road and as soon as I got up to speed past 30 miles per hour it kicked into to gear really hard and I could feel the transmission barely slipping into gear..and had to have the water pump flushed it was over heating thought it was the thermostat but it was checked and fine so I had to replace the water pump...was missing a motor mount on one side and the other was corrodded.. When I are driving down the road I can hear my car 4 blocks away..brakes aren't right they don't press down like they should and half the time they just don't work...if I am lucky, I have to start braking around 2 blocks away, I may stop in time. I purchased this car on july 16,2006 and this all happened starting july 17,2006. Payments have been made on time and have had two estimates as they requested for all the repairs but they still are stating I have to come up with half the money upfront and then they will tact on the rest to the end of my bill I owe to pay off the car.

I have a 96 ford probe that the transmission was bad. It was an automatic . With it being an automatic it would seem that they would not go bad compared to a manual transmission. I've been reading that a lot of the mazda/ford transmission are terrible and people has had problems with the transmission which is the cd4e. I would like to just like to let other people know they are not the only one with the same problem of the cd4e. I've had it fixed however the mechanics must still not have it exactly correct cause its still is not working right. So now I have to take it back in for them to look over again.

I own a 96 ford probe with a cd4e transmission with only 66000 miles on it. A few days my transmission started to act up. It would rev high then shift into 2nd gear, when atempting to shift into 3rd gear, it just wouldn't. This causes my car to only go a blistering speed of 45mph?!? This transmission , the cd4e, is produced by mazda and is also in the 626. I search the web to see if anyone had the same problems and now I want to get rid of my car I fell in love with 4 years ago. There are thousands of people with the same transmission problems from 94-to 99. Thousand of reported problems but no recall? We need someone to take action againt mazda and the problem transmission.

Without warning, the transmission completely failed. I lost all ability to move in any of the forward gears, and struggled to get the car to the side of the highway. On the sholder, I discovered I could only move in reverse, all of the forward gears were inoperable. The car was towed to leemyles, and they performed $2,200 in repairs. Thirty days later, the transmission completely failed again, fortunately leemyles honored their warranty and performed another complete repair. It is now working, but I am afraid. I have searched the web and discovered that this particular transmission has a documented history of failure. I request the federal safety agency review this complaint, coupled with what I suspect are a large quantity of similar complaints, and force ford to reimburse me for the expenses I incurred in repairing thier faulty machinery.
