Transmission rebuilt 3 times due to overheating and torque converter failure. This is a well-known problem at transmission rebuild shops for the cd4e transmission built by ford. Mr
This seems to be a common and reoccuring problem with this vehicle. What are you doing to hold mazda accountable for this problem and give consumers a fighting chance? Thanks, milton arias mr
I purchased a 1995 mazda 626 in november of 1998. The month after a purchased it I started to have transmission problems. Took it to the dealer and the problem was fixed. Now again I am starting to have transmission problems again. This time I was told that I needed to get a new transmission. I have read that many people have had the same type of problems with their 626. It seems to be a defect. Along with the transmission problem their also seems to be a problem with the oxygen sensor I have had to replace 2 already. I think this car is a major piece of junk and should be taken off the market. Ts
For the last fives years, the o/d light has been constantly flashing. Sometimes the o/d light would go off after a few days to a week, and at other times when we have taken the vehicle to the mazda dealer. Whenever the o/d light is flashing the vehicle begins to jerk hard when in reverse, on startup or when the vehicle shifts into a low gear. There have been many instances where the vehicle is unable to maintain idle on startup or while in drive. The only solution is to ride the brakes and gas until its able to maintain idle. So far I have had the transmission rebuilt once by mazda via ammco and the airflow sensor replaced twice by mazda. Upon having the second airflow sensor replaced, I was told by mazda that the transmission is fried and needs to be fixed a second time. After taking the vehicle back to ammco (still under the warranty from the first rebuilding) they said all that the transmission needed was celluloid. After about a week of the vehicle running quite well, the o/d light is back on flashing and the vehicle is back to its jerking ways.
Od loght (over/drive off) light flashes , and car shifts very rough. Previous complaint on bulletin boards indicate transmision failure, estimated repairs 2k to 3k dollars. Nlm

The transmission is a poor product. After the first failure I have returned 6 previous times to get it repaired again. Ford/mazda should stand by their poor workmanship and there should be a recall. This is not an isolated incident.
While driving at 75mph heard noise and smoke coming from under hood. As a result bushing in transaxle that went into transmission wore out and came loose.
Please include the 1995 year 626 in campaign number 99i005000.

The o/d light would flash when the car was driven for about hour and half at high speed.
Doing research on this type of vehicle I found an enormous number of other people with this type of vehicle transmission failures. And the car manufacturer needs to recall these vehicles and repair at no cost to the owners of this problem. ****dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****761121. *ak
This seems to be a common problem with the 1995 mazda 626. My transmission started to slip and at the same time my overdrive light would come on. Gradually the transmission failed and needed to be rebuilt.
The transmission needs to be rebuilt.
Transmission slips between shifts. It doesn't change to the next gear.
I heard this is not the first time this has happened to someone with this type of car . It is obviously something that should be recalled . No defect listed.
Vehicle would stall and gears lurchs when changing due to transmission failure. Dealer contacted.
My o/d off light began flashing at 60k miles. I took it to a mazda dealer and they could find no codes. It began to happen more often, usually after driving 2 hrs at speeds over 60 MPH. Frequent checks for codes, changing transmission fluid gave us hope , but the problem returned each time. The lastest was the flashing o/d off lite and dropping out of o/d on its own. The mazda people said the fluid was overheated and had been over filled. They changed the fluid. When the problem came back, they found the codes 628 and 652. They say that the tourque converter was shreading and impeding the circulation the transmission fluid. The bottom line is according to the mazda dealer I need a new transmission and an add on cooler for the fluid. What a great design this transaxle must be. Many failures with original mileage under 80k, replacements fail, warranties don't last long, and ford/mazda don't seem to care that their products are failing without doing something about it.
When drivng or accelerating, the engine seems to hang in 'gear'. I have to let go of the gas and re-apply the gas and it kicks into the next gear, but even then, it feels like it is accelerating very slowly. I did not know where else to send a complaint about this. I do live in canada, so you can email me at the address that I gave to maybe give me some tips or suggestions on what to do...thank-you.
I have read so many sad storys on the web about the poor ford cd4e automatic transmission. I bought the mazda 626 in 5/25/99. The transmission was broken in 7/20/99. I sent it to the shop named cottman transmission. They charged me $1999 for fixing it. But they did not fixed it well. In 1/17/2002, the transmission is bad again. I sent it to aamco, they said that due to wrong installation, the path for the transmission fluid was blocked. So the metal parts contact to each other. I have to pay $2500 for the repair. I am so angry. I think mazda company has to be responsible for this bad transmission.
When driving over drive light comes on and vehicle goes into a higher gear. Driver states that when pressing overdrive button it does not engage. Please provide any further information.
While driving at city speed engine started over heating, and then vehicle caught on fire. Mechanic did not know what has caused the fire. Please provide more information.
While driving about any MPH transmission will start losing power and jerking. Consumer has to drive off the road to control vehicle. Also, vehicle had to be towed to mechanic.*ak
Car can barely get power to go. Transmission began to slip tried to step the car just revev up. Is only able to 10 MPH.
Speedometer was not working properly. When driving speedometer will go back to zero. Gauges on dash will start to act erractically. Vehicle stayed in third gear. Also, had to stop vehicle and let it sit, and then start vehicle back up, and everything acted normally. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated could not fix problem. Contacted mazda, and mazda indicated that there was recall 99i005000 on 1994 model. *ak
