I BOUGHT A 1996 MAZDA 626 IN THE SUMMER OF 2004. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT COMING ON WHEN I DRIVE ABOUT 55 M.P.H. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME OR MONEY TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION! I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR LESS THAN WHAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST. NOW I AM TRYING TO SELL THIS CAR AND ITS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE GIVEN SOMETHING TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

PURCHASE AUTO USED WITH LESS 48,255 MILES ON IT ON 5/1/98. ON 5/22/98 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH THE SRS LIGHT BEGAN BURNING INTERMITTENTLY. PART WAS ORDERED ON 5/22/98 AND REPLACED ON 6/6/98. PROBLEM STILL EXISTED AND WAS WORKED ON AGAIN 6/10/98. DIDN'T REPAIR PROBLEM AND SO IT WAS AGAIN WORKED ON 6/18/98. DEALER'S STATEMENT IS THE CAR WAS DRIVEN OVER 100 MILES AND PROBLEM COULDN'T BE FOUND. SOMETHING MUST HAVE REPAIRED IT AS THEY STOPPED BURNING. ON 1/13/99 ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN AGAIN ALONG WITH THE OD LIGHT. AT THIS TIME AUTO WAS RETURNED TO DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. LUCKILY I PURCHASED A WARRANTY AT PURCHASE OF AUTO. AT THIS WRITING THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEGAIN TO ILLUMINATE AGAIN AND MY WIFE STATE TRANSMISSIONS IS SLOW TO SHIFT. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THIS PARTICULAR YEAR MAZDA WAS ONE WHICH WOULD HURT MAZDA'S REPUTATION AFTER OWNING 2 MAZDA 626S AND 3 MAZDA PICKUPS. I HAVE THE STATEMENTS FROM DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER,SENSORS,MODULES, AND CONTROLS.THE AUTO STOCK NUMBER AT ANDY JONES WAS 8992 @ DEALER# 34018 SOLD MAY 1,1998.
