Transmission failure.
I bought a 1995 mazda 626 and I had it 2 or 3 days had to replace the transmission .that was 2,400.00 .still have all kinds of trouble out of the transmission in back 7 or 8 times still spits out all the transmission fluid .it is over heating took it to bull chevrolet they put new intake gaskets on it and checked for a blown head gasket said it was not the head gasket .we replaced the water pump and thermostat and to find out there was nothing wrong with the other parts .I don't believe the chevrolet check to see if it had a blown head gasket cause the next day we took the head off and all the pistons had water just standing on top of them.now I'm out another 2500.00 .
Transmission failed with no warning while pulling into traffic, near miss, car had to be pushed from road and towed. This is the second time this transmission has failed both at 60 to 70 k miles!!!*ak this is a product design defect and a safety defect.
1995 mazda 626 transmission: I have 1995 mazda 626 but it tends to have a transmission break down with over drive sensor going bad at 75000. The transmission was rebuilt with certified technician, but it went out again at 130000. I searched the internet and I wasn't the only one who had a transmission problem.
I have a 95 mazda 626 and the transmission has failed twice. The o/d light continues to blink. Mechanics say that they cannot find anything wrong with the car. I have had to replace almost every sensor, but to no avail the tranny is still acting up. There should be a recall on these transmissions. Thank you.
While driving at 25 MPH automatic transmission failed. Independent shop replaced the automatic transmission, also, speedometer failed. Dealership was notified.
1. First time my transmission gave out I was in the middle of a busy intersection and when I pressed the gas peddle the RPM went way up but the car did not move. I tried not to panic as oncoming traffic came right at me. Before I knew it, the intersection was gridlocked and horns were honking everywhere. I was almost hit and would have been injured. Finally, with the help of others the car was pushed to the side of the road and towed away. The final bill costing 2,300.00$. Recently, in a parking lot, after shifting into reverse and pushing the gas peddle, the car shot forward (still in drive). Luckily there were no people in front of me but I almost hit a car. I looked at the console and saw the gear was in drive even though my shifter was in reverse. The shifting mount is unhitched and the transmission needs to be replaced again!!!! This is a complete hazard and I have narrowly escaped collision and injury for a second time. 2) failure is to breakdown in busy intersections and almost hitting a car in a parking lot. *ak 3) transmission replaced using old parts and now the second time I'm not sure what is going to be done.
Overheated transmission leading to the tedious and costly process of getting another transmission with a cooler kit.
While driving at 70 MPH my transmission began to shift uncontrolled. It downshifted from od to 3rd then to a neutral type of gear. Then shifted back into od. This occured several times.I have replaced the transmission filter and fluid with no help. My car just turned 72000 miles and has been adult highway driven. I have read in several places of others having this same problem. This sound like a common occurance and sound be investigated for defects in this type of transmission.
Own 1995 mazda 626. Got it used with 50,000 miles. Now has 94,000 miles. Since then I have replaced many sensors, the head gasket, roters twice, and have had the occuring issue of the hold light blinking and the tranny shifting hard. Dealer says nothing wrong with it.
Car: 1995 mazda 626 lx failure of automatic transmission at 69,xxx miles transmission rebuilt by local shop of national chain failed again in sept. Of 2001; total repair costs exceeded $2,300
Ive had my transmission replaced once and im going to have it replaced again because its slipping .
I was driving my 1995 mazda 626 to work on 08/05/2004 and about a mile from work, my o/d off light started blinking. Once I got to work, I turned the car off and it started doing it again. I called a mazda dealership and they told me that it was probably my transmission and it might need to be replaced. I then went on cartrackers.com and found out that this was a common problem with most mazda 626's. I cannot afford to replace the transmission and surely cannot afford to make a payment on a new vehicle. Please make mazda correct their problem!!!
I purchased a 1995 mazda 626 with 04,000 on 106,000 the transmission went. I found out that the transmission for this car is really a ford cd4e. All over the internet there are people with the same complaint about this transmission. I have paid $2,500 for a new transmission it is being installed now. When will there be a recall?
Transmission failure around 1999. Transmission was rebuilt ($2300). Had to take the vehicle back to the shop several times. Transmission went completely out in may 2003. Transmission was replaced in june 2004 ($1700). I have a friend who had the same make and model vehicle, she had never ending transmission problems. Eventually she traded the car in because it was costing her more to repair the vehicle than the worth of the vehicle.
1995 mazda 626 utomatic transmission (ford cd4e) failure no repairs initiated due to unreliable nature of transmission and extremely high cost ($2200-2500). For hundreds of similar cases: http://www.cartrackers.com/forums/live/yourlemon/189.html.
Car details: mazda odel 626, year of mfg: 1995, 4 door, auto transmission, no. Of miles (till the date of complaint): 87,410 miles. This is a used car and I bought it in december 2003. The miles on the car when I bought was about 84,500. *ak problem: 1) events leading to the failure: there was a slip in the car every time the car was started from rest. I showed it to my mechanic and he suggested the problem to be due to new brake pads which I had got changed about two months back.I use the car mainly inside the city and it was working perfectly fine. I drove it only once on the interstate for about 30 minutes (this was on the day of complaint) and while coming on the way I saw that the car was having lot of jerks whenever I slowed down or stopped at any signal. Also the pick up of the car was very poor. The transmission could not pick the power the engine was producing and I had a problem even getting to 30 MPH. As soon as I saw this I did not drive any further. The very next day I got my car towed to my mechanic. 2) the failure: the trasmission oil in the car was low, the gear teeth in the transmission were broken; the clutch plates were worn out; the left axel had eaten away the sleeve of the transmission on the left side.the worn out metal (of the gear) was supposedly carried over to other parts of the transmission which caused some other gears to get damaged. 3) presently the car and the old transmission both are with my mechanic. I have not taken any decision so far as the cost of rebuilding the transmission is more than the cost of the car itself.
Transmission is going out for 2nd time. First rebuilt at 114k000 now at 119k000, need another transmission. A transmission should not fail after 5,000 miles.
Transmission failure.
My mazda 1995 626 keeps having the the "o/d light off" blinking and the car starts to shake alot when I turn the A/C on.
Madza 626 95 o/d off and car skaking all the time when I am driving the car. Transmission problem!!!
Overdrive light for transmission came on repeatedly, shiftlock would not allow me to shift transmission without first inserting ignition key in shift lock and placing transmission in neutral...driving on expressway car start losing power like downshifting with manual transmission then stops need new transmission! Problem stated at 67,0000...car transmission completely goes at 91,000.
Failure of transmission for mazda 626.
Mazda 626, bad transmission, 1st replacement 100,000 miles, now needs another transmission, too costly.
I purchased my 1995 mazda 626 new. After having the car for only a few months and less than 3,000 miles the transmission went out and had to be replaced. Because the car was under warranty, they replaced it. However, it was only after the car left me on the side of the road that they agreed to fix it. I had taken the car in three times previously because of problems, but each time they said it was something different and that they had fixed it. Recently, I had the transmission rebuilt. I have taken it back 4 times in the past 4 months because I am still having problems with it. No one should ever buy a mazda again! I have seen the numerous posts regarding problems with the transmission and each of them describe what happened to mine. The overdrive light flashes off and on, it has difficulty going into gear, it stalls between gears and constantly leaks transmission fluid. Mazda should be forced to recall this transmission!
1995 model mazda 626's transmission goes bad two times within two years.
'95 mazda 626, automatic transmission failures. @30,000 miles, anty) @65,000 miles, (warranty - I paid for labor) and @78,000 miles.*ak mazda/ford is aware of the issue and continues to accept zero responsibility.
I own a 1995 mazda 626, it has 80,000 miles on it and the o/d off light flases, oil light comes on periodically, it shifts eradically, and it's leaking transmission fluid. My mechanic says I can keep refilling the transmission fluid, but it should only last another 2000 miles. Or I could pay almost the same amount I paid for the car to get a new transmission.
O/d light flashing, fixed the same problem about 6 months ago. Mechanic says happens to all mazda's with the ford transmission. Mazda not making a recall.
