Transmission failed on three occasions.
- Granada Hi, CA, USA
This is the second cd4E transmission we have had that failed at approximately the same mileage. The first was a 1995 Mazda 626, serial# 11yvge22C6S5374843. In both cases the transmission had a complete failure due to an inadequate supply of transmission oil caused by the computer system's failure to maintain an adequate supply of transmission oil to the system. Bothe Ford and Mazda were contacted by phone about the problems and both companies stated that they stand by their warranty and would not provide any assistance with repairs, due to the fact that the car's warranty had expired and we did not purchase any extended warranty. If just seems odd that two cars with the same transmission should, with approximately the same mileage, suddenly require a new transmission. I admit that I put more than the average miles on a car in a given year, however the miles are mainly highway/interstate miles at a cruising speed, generally with the cruise control on, a manner of driving that does not cause the transmission to have to shift as in stop and go traffic.
