| I recently visited a complaint.com site and saw many of the same problems with 93 mazda 626's. i counted 14 identical complaints with others only experiencing some of the same problems that i have experienced. i am hoping that there is a class action law-suit against mazda for these issues - and would appreciate any assistance or guidance that you may be able to offer to gain reimbursement for deficiencies that i have listed. in total, i and others are spending thousands to make a car safe well before the life expectancy of the automobile. thank you in advance. no safety defec tmentioned. *ak | |||
