I don't remember the exact date of failure but it was close to the date I provided. I was driving down the road and my 2000 Mazda Protege started bucking. When I called the dealership and told them that I thought the transmission went bad they treated me like I didn't know what I was talking about. Sure enough I dropped it off and they dianosed it with a bad transmission.it was 2000 miles out of warranty. Thankfully Mazda paid for the transmission being so recent out of warranty but I had to pay $700 in labor. Since then I have found that those vehicles were plagued with that problem and since then the car just hasn't driven like it used too. I am sadly dissapointed since I used to work at a Mazda dealership and the Mazda B4000 I had also purchased has problems too.
