What 1995 Mazda 626 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I purchased an automobile, mazda 626, from sherold salmon auto super store, in rome, georgia. The car is defective. I spoke with their manager, mr. Mac jones about the car and he was very uncooperative and rude. I was lead to believe that it was a good car. Mr. Billy quarrels, the salesman who showed me the car, stated to me, that the car was in perfect condition, a fantastic quality and good grade. When in fact, the car needed a new transmission. They advertised goods and services with the intent not to sell them as advertised. Mr. Quarrels made a false and misleading statement about the car, when he said, "it was in good condition", "and there's nothing wrong with it". The responce I receive from the company is simply, "we're a big powerful dealership, do what you can". So, I'm writing to you. Thank you.
Engine over drive light blinking, lurching when shifting.
I was driving home and when I got to a stop sign and was getting ready to turn right, the car jerked forward and felt as if it were in neutral for a second. About 2 weeks later I was on my way home and the same thing happened, only while I was driving in the middle of the road, the car began to rev and jerk around, and all the while, I was slowing down on the busy street. I took it to aamco and they told me the transmission was broken and I would need a new one if I wanted the car to work properly again. I was a bit frustrated at the fact that the model of the car is a '95 and is in need of a new transmission, thank you for your time.
While pulling out of a parking lot engine "pegged" out, and had to place vehicle into reverse which subsequently ruined transmission. Problem has returned after the accident.
I purchased a mazda 626 from auto service company in 1998. At the time of purchase the car had 40865 miles on it. In oct of 1999 the vehicle had a bad cv axle the car was taken to rader mazda and the axle had been replaced. Nov of 1999 I was driving and I noticed that the car kept idling higher, but wasn't going any faster, I stopped at a red light and when the light turned green the car would not go forward. The car was taken to rader mazda in augusta ga, the service representative told me that a bearing in the transmission had slipped and that the transmission had to be replaced, because they did not rebuild transmissions. I picked up the car from rader mazda two weeks later I was on my way to ny for thanksgiving and the transmission malfunctioned again. Rader mazda put another transmission in the automobile. A few weeks ago, the cv joint on the driver side had gone bad the car was taken to universal auto repair the joint was replaced and now the transmission is malfunctioning again. I was informed by the service technician that the car needed another transmission. The warranty from the first 2 repairs expired after 12 months or 12,000 miles. Auto service company sold me a lemon, which was a rental car and they didn't mention one time that the car was purchased from a rental car company. Had I know that I would have never bought the car.
