While driving on the highway after just drop off my daughter, I proceeded back on the highway and the transmission just threw me in park. I put the car in park. Then I put in gear and it was driving fine and then the hold light started flashing. While driving home it drove fine and then again it started all over.

We recently bought or Mazda 626 from a dealer we were told that we were getting a quality car. We were fooled. With in the first week we had to buy part after part. Change the trans fluid, change the distributor , spark plug wires, spark plugs, router motor, ingnition coil, clean fuel injectors , replace fuel filter, still need to get a trans cooler as soon as I can. It took us a few years to save for a car. We trusted a dealer and got screwed! we have no money left and a car we can only use on a limited basis. We thought after loosing our income then our former car to repossession with only $50. 00 left on it, then our home gets foreclosed on, and the loss of a father, and sister in a two year time frame was enough. Nope we buy a car with so many defects it crazy, I can believe these cars a even aloud to be sold to anyone. Face it they are death traps and anyone who owns one should get them replaced at manufacture cost.

This car started having difficulty with going into reverse. Forward is becoming difficult also. Two different mechanics indicate that it is the transmission. They note that changing the transmission fluid may give temporary relief but the real problem is I need a new transmission. I live and work overseas on a us army military base so to even consider bringing an spec rebuilt transmission over is very expensive. I have been told that with a replacement transmission I will have the same problem. I have had all preventive maintenance done on the cover over the years and to have this happen at 88,000 miles is a financial hardship.

Catastrophic jerking of the transmission while accelerating causing extremely slow acceleration and dangerous conditions in heavy traffic.

Cpsc#i1190531a. 1997 Mazda 626. Consumer stated when she brought the car it had severe transmission issues, and began smoking severely once taken the speed limit. She also stated it resulted in being towed on the 6th day of having the vehicle purchased.

Transmission overheated on the freeway, blew out temperature gauge and no longer shifted after that. Speed sensor stopped working. Had to get rebuilt transmission and transmission cooler and several other parts replaced. The repair only lasted 6 months before the transmission went out again. It just slipped gears and stopped shifting in the middle of the road.

I own a 2001 Mazda 626. While the car is 9 years old, it has only 72,000 miles on it. The problem I've had with it is that the shifter cable keeps failing on it. This is a very dangerous and potentially fatal thing that keeps happening. It has failed 3 times in the past 4 years (2006-2010) and seems to be happening every 20k-30k miles. The last time was less than a month ago and just over a year since the last failure. Each time, the warranty period has expired, so I'm having to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket to get this replaced. I've had it done at 3 different places, including a Mazda dealership. There is obviously a serious defect in the shifter cable parts/design, but, to my knowledge, Mazda has yet to acknowledge it. I've contacted them to no avail. Most people, myself included, have cars for years and years and with a lot more mileage, and the shifter cable never goes out. Mazda needs to be held accountable for this disgrace. What can I do to see justice served?.

Had transmission replaced in 2010 after hard shifting and skipping gears, same problem again started in September 2012. Should not be replacing a transmission every two years.

1997 Mazda 626 tranny went out at 95k miles in 2005 and at 146795 miles the tranny has gone out again. It's not worth fixing at this point.

My 2000 Mazda 626 (automatic) began "jerking" during acceleration. While accelerating there is an initial pause and then the car jerks as speed increases. It seems as though the car is having difficulty switching gears. Within 10 minutes the check engine light came on. I immediately went to a repair shop. They indicated the error codes suggest there is something wrong with the transmission converter and that I will need to replace or rebuild the transmission. Estimated costs for this are from $3100 to almost $4000.

99 Mazda 626es has been giving me transmission problems. It slips on 1 and 2 gear. I have to drive 5-10 mph until it kicks-in but if I reduce speed I have to go trough the same process again. A mechanic changed the range-sensor, I think it's call but the problem has continued. I took the car to the dealer and after the diagnose the said you need a new transmission, for about 3,000 dollars.

My 98 Mazda 626 transmission went out twice within 2 years after I bought it! Mazda did a !@#$% job with that transmission and should have came up with a solution that does not involve me spending 2,000 dollars to fix it!!!.

The transmission on my 96 Mazda 626 just started acting up one day it will work fine until it warms up then it starts slipping badly eventually acting like its in neutral. I haven't done anything but changed the fluid yet but im sure ill have to. The person I bought the car from had the same problem and he had it rebuilt now its doing it again. I googled my problem and it seems like its very common. Thank you william ehorn.

I purchased my 626lx used in the year 2001. When test driving it, I felt a light kick to the car. The salesman told me it was a special feature of the transmission. That it acts as a v6 but only a 4 cylinder so it will save me on gas. In taking the dealers word, I purchased the vehicle believing it was in fine condition. After a week of having it, it was kicking harder. I took it to a Mazda dealer to have it examined, when all I was told is, it checked out ok. They said it was a characteristic of the vehicle. Now, after all the run around of taking it to all the auto shops I know for different opinions. According to one of the professional transmission shops, I hear the worse diagnose of what I was afraid of initially. That the transmission needs replacing. I took it back to the same Mazda dealer to have them rediagnose it since they were the ones that had said it was fine just eight months previous. Then they told me, the transmission indicates an internal problem. That it should be replaced. So another $100 bucks later for a 10 minute diagnose, I find my car was defective from the first day I got it! in taking my vehicle back to the dealer I got it from, all I got was, let?s get you into something else, but of course we?ll have to deduct any cost it will take to fix it to resell it. So I went higher; I took it to Mazda corporation. . ( I was tired of dealing with this for almost two years already) I explained my problem with them and they told me to write a letter. I was frustrated in having to wait and wait so I called back a week later telling them my story again but to a different person. I researched all types of facts from every source to use against Mazda about the exact model of the 626 I have. When reading every document I had in my hand confronting their defects in the vehicle, the rep. Told me she?ll take it to her manager and call me back. A day later, she did. She also told me that they?ll pay for the transmission as long as I pay for the labor ($600).

Od on/off light started to flash on highway, then speedometer and tachometer fell to 0, smoke went from the hood, and all transmission oil leaked away.

I own a 2000 Mazda 626 with only 90,000 miles. I have been stranded several times in this car and spent over $3000 parts and labor. I had to replace the catalytic converter, several sensors, master break cylinder, cv boots, and rack and pinion. Now I am having trouble with the transmission and the ac. The mechanic says I need to rebuild the trans and replace the ac compressor. This is another $3000 or more. I am very disappointed in this situation. I plead with you to take action on this. I have checked several web forums and found similar problems. Please, please make Mazda accountable for building such bad cars. Fyi, I am very, very diligent in general maintenance. Thanks for your time. Chris.

August 26, 2003 the Mazda was in an auto accident. Approximately 2 weeks before the accident the Mazda started stuttering. We had the Mazda put on computer and was told it needed new sensor. The check engine light continue to go on and off. Immediately before the accident the Mazda started stuttering and lost speed and that led to not being able to keep speed up and when we entered the traffice light it turned yellow then while we were under it it turned red and we were hit on the passenger side. Sept 26, 2003 I am approximately 115 miles from home the over drive light starts flashing and I lose speed again the engine is smoking. The car is towed back to charleston, SC where I live. I had to spend 3hrs at a rest area all alone with my 15 yr old daughter. This is the exact rest area were a woman was murdered 2 years ago. We were scared to death. The check engine light is back on. I am on my way to the Mazda dealership today for estimate. I think Mazda has a major problem in putting out lemons not cars. I want and will join class act lawsuit.
