2000 Mazda 626

D&M AUTOBROKERS SOLD ME A "DEATH TRAP" VEHICLE THAT COULD NOT PASS DEQ EMISSIONS TESTING. MULTIPLE THINGS KEPT GOING WRONG, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO FIX THE ISSUES. EVENTUALLY, ALL THE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE NUMEROUS LIES I WAS BEING FED WERE TOO OVERWHELMING, I GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE A DEAL WITH GOLD ACCEPTANCE FINANCE COMPANY AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP D&M AUTOBROKERS FOR D&M AUTOBROKERS TO PURCHASE THE LOAN BACK FROM GOLD ACCEPTANCE AND PAY IT OFF IN FULL. THIS AGREEMENT WAS WRITTEN AND SIGNED AS WELL AS A VERBAL AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING. THE DEALERSHIP MADE ONE PAYMENT THAT INITIALLY PAID OFF HALF OF THE BALANCE OF THE LOAN, AND THEN DECIDED TO NOT PAY THE LOAN OFF IN FULL AT ALL, OR SEND A SINGLE PAYMENT. MY CREDIT IS NOW IN THE DANGER ZONE, THEY STILL HAVE AT LEAST $3000 OWED ON THE LOAN, AND THEY ARE NOW CLAIMING THEIR OUT OF BUSINESS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO ALL THE CREDIT BUREAU'S AS WELL AS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. GOLD ACCEPTANCE HAS BEEN SO WONDERFUL IN LEADING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AS WELL AS PROVIDING HELP TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I DO NEED THIS COMPLAINT TO GO THROUGH. THIS DEALERSHIP HAS PAR-TAKEN A ROLE IN MY UNEMPLOYMENT, AS WELL AS ENDANGERING MY DAUGHTERS AND MY LIFE, AS WELL AS HORRIFY MY CREDIT. I AM REQUESTING D&M AUTOBROKERS LLC, BE REQUESTED AND MADE TO PAY THIS LOAN OFF, AS WELL AS ALL NEGATIVE MARKS BE REMOVED FROM MY CREDIT. PLEASE CONTACT ME @ [XXX] THANK YOU. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

THIS HAPPENED JUNE 8, 2009 WHICH WAS A MONDAY APPROX. 4 PM. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, AND MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. WINDSHIELD SHATTERED ALL OVER MY HAND RESULTING IN SEVERE LACERATIONS! THIS CAR NEEDS LOOKED AT ASAP!!!! PLEASE HELP *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 MAZDA 626. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SWAY BAR WILL FAIL, THE ROTORS WERE BENT, AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THE DRIVE GEAR. APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AGO, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 46,000. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED REPAIR INVOICES, INSURANCE ESTIMATE, AND PROOF OF OWNERSHIP. UPDATED 09/05/07 *TR

I OWN A 2000 MAZDA 626 WITH ONLY 90,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS CAR AND SPENT OVER $3000 PARTS AND LABOR. I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SEVERAL SENSORS, MASTER BREAK CYLINDER, CV BOOTS, AND RACK AND PINION. NOW I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE AC. THE MECHANIC SAYS I NEED TO REBUILD THE TRANS AND REPLACE THE AC COMPRESSOR. THIS IS ANOTHER $3000 OR MORE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS SITUATION. I PLEAD WITH YOU TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS. I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL WEB FORUMS AND FOUND SIMILAR PROBLEMS. PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE MAZDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR BUILDING SUCH BAD CARS. FYI, I AM VERY, VERY DILIGENT IN GENERAL MAINTENANCE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. CHRIS. *NM

THE BRAKE PADS MUST BE REPLACED EVERY 6-8 MONTHS BECAUSE OF WEAR, THE BRAKES CAN BE FELT GRINDING WHEN APPLIED. ACRID, BURNING RUBBER SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN WAITING AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND STOP SIGNS. DEALER REFUSED TO EXAMINE THE CAR WITHOUT A RECALL LETTER, HOWEVER RESEARCH REVEALED THIS CAR'S VIN # IS IN THE RECALL GROUP. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS LOCKED AND CANNOT BE UNLOCKED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE BRAKE PADS MUST BE REPLACED EVERY 6-8 MONTHS, BECAUSE THE BRAKES DO NOT PROPERLY STOP THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A LOUD NOISE, AND THE BRAKES CAN BE FELT GRINDING WHEN APPLIED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER ATTEMPTED REPAIRS TO THE BRAKES.
