I have failed 2 times trying to type this letter of complaint. Well,I have a 1997 Mazda 626 lx 4 cylinder,2 liter engine sedan. ,the engine light stays on all thew time now. First time I took it back to granger in garden city,GA and they sent it to fairway fordmazda in abercorn st in savannah,GA. They kept it about 6 weeks and the engine light stayed off about 2 years. Then it started coming back on in February 2005,so I took it to a certified mechanic here in pooler,GA. He cleared the sensors,lasted about 1/2 day,tool\k it back,he said it was number 2 sensor,replaced it,lasted about a day and now it stays on all the time. Number 2 sensor was what it was the first time. I;m also expercing some jerky motion in this car and it could be the transmission. So I'm hoping that you will do something about these faulty problems with these cars,like recall them and repair them at no cost to the owners. Lightstybee@aol. Com.
