What owners wrote
My 2000 mazda 626 began having problems a week after purchasing april 10, 2008! The car started having electrical problems which resulted in 3 batteries, 2 alternators, no AC or defrost could be run. Then the brakes were replaced twice within a 2 month period! All these problems resulted in me almost being killed from an automobile accident! This happened june 8, 2009 which was a monday approx. 4 pm. The airbags never deployed, and my head hit the steering wheel.
While driving to work on 01/25/2005 had overdrive switch off, and as the transmission got hot, the overdrive off switch light started flashing. The car started making jurking movements like it was going to stall and proceeded on to work.
