Mazda corp. Denies knowledge of any problems with transmissions. Mazda dealership acknowledges 626's have transmission faults due to radiators being too small and causing transmission to overheat., but denies any responsibility. Advised external coolant should be attached after repair. Via this website, numerous complaints exist. Does mazda not read this website? Customer very dissatisfied with mazda . Went out on interstate. Independent mechanic also aware of 626's transmission's reputation. Mazda has been notified, but says nothing will be done to recall transmissions. To-date this is the 274th complaint filed on this website. When will action be taken; and not the consumer be taken!!!
While driving a fire started within the engine compartment behind the battery, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Temperature was very hot on the car after driving approximately 1 mile. No fluid in radiator. Refilled only to realize a slow leak. Took it to dealer for repair. They couldn't find a leak but said it had to do with the temperature gauge, so it was replaced. 2 days after the repair, the same problem has arisen. Have contacted them again to determine what to do. Sometimes the car goes from normal reading to hot,and suddenly returns to normal. I have added approx. 1 gallon of fluid every 2 days for the past week. Worried about possible engine damage and stalling in traffic.
