Two problems related to engine cooling system have been reported for the 1996 Mazda 626. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I bought a used 1996 Mazda 626lx from rierson motors in clovis, new mexico and have had the car less than one month and the engine light stays on , it loses power on the interstate when I accelerate above 55 mph and lurches and goes in to next gear very hard. I think Mazda should be held liable for these defects in this paticular model. I hope the government will look into this matter and investigate why so many consumers are having the same problems and Mazda should step up to the plate and admit their failure and fix the problem are compensate the consumer for their expenditures.
Coolling system breakdown ruined engine. Car covered by warranty, but Mazda refuses to pay, claiming not responsible for overheating of engine.
