My transmission recently went out (no accident or injury). After taking it to the mechanics to have it looked at, the mechanic mentioned that Mazda has a problem with their transmissions that gets them thru to warranty. After speaking with him, I spoke to a friend that had a neighbor that had transmission problems with 2 different models of Mazda cars. (626 and MPV). After he spent a couple months trying to get Mazda to pay for his transmission, he found out that Mazda issued a "dealer notice" that there was a design flaw in the transmission and to contact the mfg. For a transmission rebuild kit. (Mazda does not pay for this of course, because it usually happens after the warranty runs out. I just spent $1,800 on a car that is only 2 years old! if Mazda is aware of the problem and has not corrected it, then they should be responsible for having a recall and fixing the problem free of charge. Please advise as to what you find out. 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 purchased this vehicle, new, on April 8, 1999. Immediately I noticed problems, the car made an odd noise and vibration at rest, this was repaired, a missing bolt from the heat shield. The cd player stopped working within 10 days of purchase, replaced. Warped wind deflecter replaced, and blown interior light fuses. The major problem of course is the transmission. Car was taken to dealer on April 19, 1999 reported concerns with the transmission, shifting roughly, lurching and slipping at various speeds. Technician test drove car, said there was no problem, did not do electronic analysis of transmission. I indicated my concern regarding the transmission to Mazda Corp. In the Mazda care survey as well. On Dec. 15, I went to dealership and demanded that a tech. Ride with me as I expressed concerns. Car had almost cut off while driving 3 days before. I had to rent a car to go to Florida because I was afraid to put car on the road. Car was left with dealer, and finally found to have transmission problem. They want to replace transmission, and then offer me a 12,000 mile warranty on the replaced transmission, when I currently have 35,000 miles remaining an my bumper to bumper warranty. This is inequitable, and unacceptable. This car was sold to me with a faulty transmission, and I want a replacement vehicle (new) or my money.
