Transmission Gear Slipping problems of the 1997 Mazda 626

1997 Mazda 626, transmission replaced by Mazda due to extended warranty at approximately 100,000 miles. Vehicle now has 183,000 miles and the transmission is slipping again. I have had this car garaged for 2 years as the cost of replacing the transmission again is prohibitive. Replaced trans fluid with synthetic and it runs better however if I had know their was a problem with the transmission for this car I would have sold it a long time ago and would have installed a transmission cooler when it was replaced. The state should order a recall or you would think there would be a group of attorney's who would like to file a class action suit against Mazda!!!.

The transmission is slipping either by overheating or bad transmission by Mazda, and my car only has 119,000 miles on it. I'd like to know when are they recall all the 626's and fix the problem, or I'll sue the company. This is so unfair that they stop making 626's, for what reason.

1997 Mazda 626 lx 2. 0 automatic transmission is slipping. The car hesitates excelerating at different speeds, mostly around 40 to 60 mph. I am now at 82500 miles and have found numerous posts on the internet about transmission issues. Along with this my check engine light has been on for the last 3 yrs with not one Mazda dealership or mechanic being able to keep it off for longer than 30 miles. I have replaced timing belt tensioners, mass air flows, O2 sensors, fuel filters pcv valve, and numerous more. I guess the problems never end and I am tired of it being "my" problems and not Mazda's!.

I would like to e-mail your company an express my displeasure in my 1997 Mazda 626. My car has had transmission problems since 48,000 miles and my warranty would not cover this saying that they could not fix a problem they don't see. {the transmission fluid boiled over and out a breather tube. } well that being said I now have 62,000 miles and the transmission is slipping more than ever. Now it seems to me with all the customer complaints on this transmission you should recall and or replace the transmissions free of charge as iã‚ve never done any thing to ruin this transmission. And 2500. 00 dollars is a big chuck of change that should not have happened in the first place. Thank you, brad lorenz.

The vehicle stalled after a scheduled oil change. After returning to the service center where the oil change was performed, I was told that I need to have my valve cover gaskets changed. I wanted a second opinion and scheduled a check with the dealership service center. I had no problems with stalling after the first initial incident. After the dealership mechanics looked at the vehicle the car would not move unless the engine was reved. I was informed at this point that my transmission was slipping and that I needed my valve cover gaskets and spark plugs changed. The total cost would amount to over $3200. After getting a second opinion on the state of the transmission I had the transmission replaced. I was informed by the dealership mechanic that the 1997 Mazda has transmission problems. I had the transmission replaced by the dealership service department. The new transmission is extremely loud, the car does not drive the smoothly; I can feel the gears change, and the odometer is running rampant. I went back to the dealership and was told that Mazda transimission are generally loud and that the car will rev and cause one to feel a shift in gear if the computer cannot distinguish a speed setting. I feel that after reseach and speaking with the dealerships mechanics that Mazda was aware that the madza 626 v6 1997 year was defective and should not continue to make revenue for a costly "repair" that should have been fixed by the manufacture. When my vehicle stalled it was in heavy traffic (45mph zone) and it is a blessing that I did not cause a wreck or hit anyone. Thank you t. Simpson.

Transmission blewout without prior warning, suddenly gears started slipping on freeway.
