Tl* the contact owns a 1999 mazda 626. the contact was driving 65 mph when the gears became stuck, the vehicle decelerated and the rpms increase greatly. the vehicle was towed to a local repair shop where it was diagnosed that the transmission was defective and would need to be replaced. the manufacturer was contacted who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileage was 113,000.
The transmission in my 2001 mazda 626 i4 has failed twice. the first time it failed at 118,000 miles while i was accelerating from a stop at a intersection almost causing an serious accident with the cars behind me. after having the transmission rebuilt for 2k the transmission failed again at 120,000 miles while accelerating from a stop at an intersection on a uphill slant and almost caused a major accident with the cars behind me as i backed the car down the hill to the curbside. ford needs to recall these horrible cd4e transmissions. i have had the transmission rebuilt again and the certified transmission shop tells me ford has redesigned the drum for these transmissions (the part that failed both times) and they only release them 1 at a time from the ford factory to transmission shops to avoid a recall on the previous design which failed all of their cd4e transmissions prematurely. this is very poor customer service on fords part and they should stand behind their product and not hide from their failures while sticking it to their costumers. i will not buy another ford product again. *tr

Transmission downshifted while driving on the freeway. while trying to maintain speed to exit the freeway, the engine started to overheat. as soon as i was able to pull into the local gas station parking spot, the engine died. the transmission appears to need a rebuild. *tr
2002 mazda 626 transmission broke on me at 107,000 odo . *tr
Auto transmission has constant problems with leaking and shifting. tons of complaints online of problems with these cars. why cant something be done about this like a recall? *tr
2001 mazda 626. transmission shifting cable falls off shift lever on transmission. once occurs, can not shift out of whatever position you are in at the time of the failure. mazda sells a new cable kit with new/adequate cable to transmission connection device ($180). you can not just buy the connector. mazda parts person said, "we sell a lot of these" indicating numerous failures for same cause. being a mechanical engineer, i resolved the issue with a axle nut as used to hold wheels on a child's wagon, etc. *tr
O/d light blinking, wont stop, cannot engage or disengage o/d function. *tr
