Mazda 626 Acceleration problems by year

The vehicle is stalling during acceleration and after. Sometimes it's stops and clear itself up and then throws itself into overdrive (o/d off lights starts flashing) all while driving it in the street(city and interstate). When you let the car sit and not run it will not flash but after driving amd not getting any speed it does it again.

We recently bought or mazda 626 from a dealer we were told that we were getting a quality car. We were fooled. With in the first week we had to buy part after part.Change the trans fluid, change the distributor , spark plug wires, spark plugs, router motor, ignition coil, clean fuel injectors , replace fuel filter, still need to get a trans cooler as soon as I can. It took us a few years to save for a car. We trusted a dealer and got screwed! We have no money left and a car we can only use on a limited basis. We...

Driving in the highway but abruptly it slowed down and can't speed up while I was in the traffic, it was almost bumped to stop, terrifying trucks were chasing behind me. This is a transmission failure. Terrible, and a big safety issue too. *Tr

Transmission overheated on the freeway, blew out temperature gauge and no longer shifted after that. Speed sensor stopped working. Had to get rebuilt transmission and transmission cooler and several other parts replaced. The repair only lasted 6 months before the transmission went out again. It just slipped gears and stopped shifting in the middle of the road. *Tr

Traveling in car on interstate in the right hand lane using cruise control set at 70mph. Was coming up on a car and tapped the brake to disengage cruise control and the car did not disengage. I tried to use the brake and it was not working and went to the floor. I could not shut the cruise control off at the controls on the steering wheel either. I quickly swerved onto the shoulder of the freeway to avoid hitting the car in front of me. My husband turned off the ignition and I eased up on the emergency brake and we...

My car idles back and forth like someone is pressing the gas and letting off. I had it put on a computer at advanced automobile and I got a throtle position sensor , and had it put on. My car still did the same exact thing. Had it put back on the computer, and had a mass flow sensor put on it. My car still did the same thing .Took car to dealer, put idle air control valve and replaced wiring to this sensor. I even put an emc from a salvage yard in my car. Still my car did the same thing . Were there any other mazdas doing the same thing? I' spent alot of money to try and fix my car .*Ak

Dt: caller was driving her car and engine staled at speeds 20, 25, 35, 45 or 55 mph. Car ran good for a while then it just stalled when accelerator was pressed. . Numerous times caller had vehicle serviced, but it is still did not working properly. *Ak

When accelerating from a stop vehicle lurched forward. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. *Ak

On three separate occasions vehicle lost power while driving. Consumer could apply the accelerator pedal down to the floor and the vehicle would bearly move. Vehicle was to the dealer on three separate occasions, and they were unable to correct the problem.*Ak

I bought a 1990 mazda 626 about a year ago. It has an atx. Recently the car would only drive in one gear. I took it to a buddy of mine that owns a transmission shop. He ran a diagnostic and said the car needed a new vehicle speed sensor and probably a new transmission. I purchased a new speed sensor that goes behind the speedometer, and now the "hold" button flashes. According to some research I've done this means that I need a new tranny. I can't get the car into reverse or into neutral. And the car will only go in third gear. *Jb

While driving at 25 mph automatic transmission failed. Independent shop replaced the automatic transmission, also, speedometer failed. Dealership was notified. *Ak

When putting the vehicle in drive it surged forward. This caused the consumer to lose control of the vehicle, and hit a building head on. Consumer stated that the accelerator pedal was stuck to the floorboard. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership. *Ak

I bought a used 1996 mazda 626lx from rierson motors in clovis, new mexico and have had the car less than one month and the engine light stays on , it loses power on the interstate when I accelerate above 55 mph and lurches and goes in to next gear very hard. I think mazda should be held liable for these defects in this paticular model. I hope the government will look into this matter and investigate why so many consumers are having the same problems and mazda should step up to the plate and admit their failure and fix the problem are compensate the consumer for their expenditures.*Ak

In august 2001, I purchased a mazda 626. In may 2003, I started to experience major problems with the car. At 23,000 miles, the following had to be replaced: transmission assembly, thermostat and radiator sub-tank. At 31,000 miles, my car was in the shop for 11 days in order to replace the following: mass air flow sensor, fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator, valve idle air control, thermostat gasket, and the throttle body gasket. *Ak my car is nearing the end of its 3 year/36,000 warranty and I am frightened about how much future repairs will cost, as well as the overall safety of the car.
