Transmission went out at 51,000 miles.
Car too young to have this type of problem. Mazda denied knowledge of transmission problems in this model although there are many people who have had transmission problems with this car.
Transmission went out at 84,000 miles, and is now slipping at 100,000. Wish I had never bought it.
I have had my 1998 Mazda 626 for almost five years. It has been nothing, but trouble for me. I have had three different transmissions in it and it is starting to slip again at 96,000 miles. I am also having problems with my weather stripings around the passenger door, which hardly ever gets used. I have had other engine problems, too many to list. I'm very disappointed in this car and wish I never would have bought it, but with the money put into this car it was not worth selling. Figured I would just run it till it falls apart. Warning for others: Expect problems with this car that will burn a hole in your pocket!!!
