'99 Mazda 626-lx, 4-cyl. Transmission problem: day 1, stuck in traffic, moving very slowly for 30 minutes, 80 degrees outside, the transmission started feeling "clunky". Day 2, driving 72-78 mph on the highway for 3 hours, the "o/d off" light started to blink. Got home fine. Day 3: significant transmission slippage.
Faulty automatic transmission in Mazda 626. This will be my second transmission failure. Both transmissions began slipping and overheating many miles before failure. The dealer never informed me of any bulletins or problems with the transmissions.
(1) the transmission started slipping at 120000 miles when accelerating hard (2) I had the car checked out prior to departing for my cross-country trip from FL to CA, only to find out that I did not have the time nor money to replace the transmission; I had to take my chances and barely made it. The car now cannot be driven, it cannot make it up a hill, and I'm stuck with no transportation. (3) nothing has yet been done; I'll be dropping the car off either at a mechanic to get it fixed (if I can get a credit card) or at a dealer as a trade-in for another car.
The consumer stated while accelerating the transmission slipped. There was a slight chattering noise. Once the vehicle was in gear it worked correctly. A local mechanic changed the spark plugs and the wires. Also, checked the cv joints and they were fine. The mechanic had not looked at the transmission. He eliminated all of the other things first. This has been happening for about three or four months. (11/17/05) the mechanic suggested that the automatic transmission was the problem.
Transmission quit working while the consumer was driving. She was less than ã‚â½ mile from home when this occurred. The consumer had the transmission replaced by her mechanic. The new transmission was purchased from Mazda. The new transmission has slipped twice. The vehicle jerked while trying to accelerate. The consumer took vehicle to a dealership and they ran a diagnostic test. They found nothing, and that there should be a warning light coming on if anything was working. There were no other problems with the vehicle at this time.
When shifting gears, the transmission would slip gears. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cause was not determined. Please provide more information.

Check engine light came on Nov. 2003, code said transmission slippage; result: rebuild transmission($2600. 00) any highway driving since then has resulted in 0/d light flashing on and off,transmission fluid coming out of vent hose. 1st time back: replace sensor, 2nd time back: replace burnt bushing. In shop (aamco) again today for third time since rebuild. Incident only happens when driving at highway speeds, then shifting becomes hard jerks untill tranny cools down (automatic).

In June 1999, I purchased a 1999 Mazda 626. I have 27,743 miles on it. (I ride mostly in my husband's SUV). Two days ago, the transmission began to slip. The dealer tells me the 36 month warranty has expired. I say warranty or not at 27,000 miles the transmission should not be slipping--unless there was a problem with it when it was installed. I refuse to pay $2000+ for a new transmission and am seeking arbitration against the dealer. I am astonished to see all of the other complaints about the 626 transmssion I read on "the complaint station" website. From what I read on this site, the problem is the Ford transmission. Something must be done concering this problem. A recall is in order. Thank you.
I purchased the vehicle new on Dec. 19, 1999. I noticed a problem with the transmission starting slipping in reverse. On Feb. 8, 2000 I have taken the car back to the dealer for repair. The told me that the transmission had to be ordered and bring the vehicle back on Feb 12, 2000. I picked up the car on Feb 12, 2000 and had to take the vehicle back because of a loud humming noise. Again its in the transmission. This time they tell that the front pump went out on the transmission. Feb 13, 2000 another transmission had to be ordered. When they first put the transmission in it was a remanufactured transmission. In the warranty agreement it states, "any repair or replacement of a covered component may be made with a functionally equivalent component, as determined by the administator. In the warranty booklet it states, "a Mazda dealer will make necessary repairs, using a new or remanufacutred parts, to correct any problem covered by this warranty without charge to you. I do not want a remanufactured part on the vehicle. I bought the vehicle new, I expect a new part on the vehicle obiviously the remanufactured transmission did not work.
I have a 1999 Mazda 626. Automatic transmission. 4 cylinder lx. This car has 80,000 miles on it, and the transmission is slipping! I have read complaints about this all over the internet and Mazda forums. Why is there not a recall on this transmission?!? it is too small for this car and more than half of 626 owners have had to replace their transmissions, only to continue to replace it as it will always go out again!.
While driving, consumer states that the transmission began slipping, then vehicle stalled.
