November 1995 CrashInjury

626 mazda transmission failure. Once again a car company is completely ignoring many thousands of people who have early and premature problems with a product. And NHTSA does nothing. 30 minutes spent on the net would clearly show any one related to the automotive industry that mazda has been given a free pass on its responsibility. How many complaints do you need? *nlm
