ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
MAZDA CORP. DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS. MAZDA DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES 626'S HAVE TRANSMISSION FAULTS DUE TO RADIATORS BEING TOO SMALL AND CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT., BUT DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY. ADVISED EXTERNAL COOLANT SHOULD BE ATTACHED AFTER REPAIR. VIA THIS WEBSITE, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS EXIST. DOES MAZDA NOT READ THIS WEBSITE? CUSTOMER VERY DISSATISFIED WITH MAZDA . WENT OUT ON INTERSTATE. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ALSO AWARE OF 626'S TRANSMISSION'S REPUTATION. MAZDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT SAYS NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO RECALL TRANSMISSIONS.
