Transmission failed after owning the car for less than one month. It was covered under warranty, so the dealer replaced all parts and installed free of charge. They assured me at the dealer that this was a fluke, and that they had no knowledge of this being a problem in Mazda 626, 1996 4-cylinder automatic transmission models. Little did I know that less than one year later, the transmission would go out again, this time after warranty, and would face Mazda corp. Stating that there is no problem with there transmissions, and that technically they don't have to do anythign to help me, but they would do me a favor by replacing the parts, but I would be responsible for the labor $545. 00. I'm not even sure if this is a fair price for labor on installing a transmission.
Fourth gear failure- damaged internal structure of the transmission. Experienced hesitation and overreving of the engine just prior to transmission failure.
My 1996 Mazda which I purchased in 1997 has serious transmission problems. The transmission has been replaced once while still under warranty in 1-11-99. It is currently at the dealer for a second transmission which failed on 12-29-99. I am confused as to why with so many complaints about the transmission problems with Mazda they have not been recalled. I have read atleast 173 complaints on the internet submitted by others. Also is there a technical bulletin related to this transmission problem that has been distributed to dealers? what is it going to take for this car to get a recall deaths?.

Transmission failure.
None of the first three problems were causing any safety hazards. The transmission failure made the shifting very jerky and rpm to go high. I did not try to experiment on this on the highway. Driving a Mazda is the worst experience of my life. Never buy/lease or rent a Mazda again.
Transmission failed twice. Nlm.
Automatic transmission failed. Nlm.
Consumer states while driving 60mph the transmission failed causing the vehicle to lose acceleration. Please provide any additional information. Ts.
