I have a mazda 626 v6 1988. I being having all kinds of problem with my Madza... But my question is what do you do if your car is being recall?

Do you drive a 1998 MAZDA 626?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
