1995 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Mazda hurt me deep into the bone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I brought this Automatic Mazda 95’s 626 from a certified pre-own car dealer. I put on 7500 mils/yr on this car only for work. Transmission broke down in a year and a half. Then, change two times Master Air flow Sensor recommended by the Mazda Certify dealer. Last two years, change two times Timing belt, water pump (one job performed by a certified Mechanic shop, and one by car dealer). Now the Idle Air Control Vale is stalling the car. There are many changes: axles, tired, brake, plugs…. I think I changed pretty much everything except the engine. I should have given it up long time ago.
General comments?
I thought Mazda never like "the company", who made huge profit by selling repair parts. Now, I believe they are the same. Mazda is another Fix Or Repair Daily!
One thing I just don't understand is that why a certified Mazda dealer does not a work Menu for the 95 626 in the shop.
