While commuting, the car stopped shifting. Took it to mechanic--they fixed a leak in the transmission fluid-- car was then shifting hard, took to transmission shop--they diagnosed two problems that caused the leak. The transmission is not effectively pushing the fluid through the system, and was very dangerous on the road when it stopped shifting.

Purchased used Mazda 262, year 2000, that happened to have original known-faulty cd4e. Car now inoperable after less than a thousand miles after leaving the lot. Occasional acceptable operation, interspersed with transmission slipping/losing gear/no power, nearly caused a rear-end accident going uphill on freeway.
I purchased a 2000 Mazda 626 used in 2001. I took the car in for repairs to the cincinnati jake sweeny Mazda shop to address the shaking and noises that I was hearing from the front and rear of the vehicle. I was told that the car was okay the motor mounts were fine and that the noise was from a bottle of aspirin in the glove box. The noise continued and other shops continued to inform me that my motor mounts were bad. I was again informed by the repair shop that the car was fine. The vehicle now has 140,000 miles on it and the motor mounts, sway link bar and struts are all shot to heck. I am very disappointed being that this issue was addressed when the car was under warranty and the dealership neglected to fix the problem which now has escalated.
