What owners wrote
Consumer was driving a 4-cylinder engine on the highway and car started to smoke, took to dealer and he replaced the fuel throttle, got the car back and the same thing happened, car is back at dealer and he is going to replace the transmission .
My 1995 mazda 626 LX has had its overdrive off light blinking for a month now I have had it checked. It would only blink when the gas would get below a half of a tank. So I had the fuel filter replaced. Then it started to shift gears at random times. I had the usual done, flushed the transmission replaced filter etc. Its a week later my transmission has completely failed. Due to my transmission overheating.
