  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,000 miles
I have had my Mazda 626 for 6 months, since then I have replaced the front brakes, rotors and suspension, fuel pump and now the transmission. I need to also fix the rear breaks, rotors and suspension and haven't had the money. This car is the biggest flop I have ever owned and it only has 57,000 miles on it.

Whenever vehicle has been started, it would shake and tremble. Had taken vehicle to dealer, but problem had not been or could not be resolved. Mechanic did adjust transmission, but another mechanic indicated that transmission was stuck in 2nd gear and proceeded to repair it.
