The car stalled while in motion on the highway with 56 miles left in the gas tank. This caused a very dangerous situation due to the fact that I could not accelerate at all, as the traffic was speeding past. I had to coast through traffic to the safety of the shoulder of the road. Once the vehicle came to a stop, it wouldn't restart and it seemed as if it never actually stopped trying to restart. I noticed a few things during this situation. 1. The check engine light came on 2. All the dash board lights appeared to come on 3. The emergency brake and hold button for city parking brake were flashing at the center counsel 4. The dashboard warnings rotated between, city parking brake, parking brake, cruise system disabled 5. The battery finally died after several minutes of this happening my family and I were brought to safety by a state trooper and had the vehicle towed to a gas station. We filled the gas tank, jumped the car and it has not had the issue since. Unfortunately the rear lift gate has only worked one time after the event but I am not sure what is going on there. I had this same issue happen once in 2019, and the vehicle restarted. I took it to a Mazda dealer and they said it may have been bad gasoline. The vehicle issue seems to match a similar issue mentioned in recall 3719f.

My wife complained about how she tried to accelerate and it didn't work one random time while she was driving. I took it around the neighborhood to test it out. I wasn't even out of my block before the incident happened. I was in the middle of a turn and everything just stopped. I was going less than 10 mph when it happened. Several lights came on on the dashboard. The traction control light, the at light, the tpms light, and the check engine light. Something bad happened and this could have killed someone had it happened on the highway. I turned the car off and on and now only the check engine light is on. I was able to drive it again at that point.

I was driving on a main road and all of a sudden it seems as if the car lost power (2014 Mazda Cx-5 grand touring). I could not accelerate and a lot of the lights on the dash lit up (tpms, traction control, check engine light). Thankfully I was only a mile from home and was able to turn around and make it home, but I could have been in a serious accident with my infant in the car as I was about to get on the highway. I was only able to go about 10 mph, car kept revving, sputtering and vibrating. Once I got home I shut the car off for a few minutes. It starts no problem but same lights keep flashing and I feel the whole car vibrating, I don't feel safe if this car. This is a serious safety issue, car is only 3 years old with 50,000 miles on it, it is not normal for a car to completely lose power to the point where it almost comes to a complete stop. Mazda needs to issue a recall before someone gets into a serious accident because of this!.
The engine is refusing to turn off when I hit the off button and it is in the park position. It takes up to 5-6 times to get the engine to shut down by restarting it, playing with the gears and finally shutting down. This could be a sensor problem. I just had the check engine light fixed as it wouldn't turn off either.
Dm3ke2be9d0160311 the engine does not idle. When I would slow to stop for a stop light or stop sign, th engine would quit and require restarting the engine. The check engine light remained illuminated continuously, and, the red battery light would illuminate. A service station diagnosed the problem as either an old battery, and/or, an alternator. Ourisman Mazda, 801 rockville pike, rockville, maryland 20850 [301-424-7800] advised me this morning, Saturday, 01/13/2018, that: 1. )the problem is the mass air flow filter that required replacement. 2. )there are no recalls for Mazda mass air flow sensor failures. 3. ) total parts and labor are approximately, $575. 00. 4. )the dealership said that the 5 years / 100,000 warranty did not apply to the mass air flow filter. 5. )when I brought the car to ourisman Mazda, on 01/12/2018, to have the problem diagnosed. I was asked when and where I last filled the gas tank, (as if a mass air flow failure mimics contaminated fuel. The car was purchased, new, in December 2012,, and has approx. . , 75,000 miles of urban / suburban driving, not under dusty conditions. The risk is that the car could unexpectedly stall and with no way to recover quickly.
Mazda Cx-5 2013 check engine light - coolant sensor p011a. Heater is no longer warm air. Dealer advises to replace the heater core at $1768. 00. Hard to believe as car is in mint condition, never missed a service.
On 2 separate occasions (5/27/2017 and 6/15/2017) while on the freeway while in stop & go traffic, my vehicle suddenly seemed to lose power, and unable to go more than 20 mph. The tire pressure, traction control, emergency light comes on. Both times I have safely been able to make it to the shoulder. The first time, I had my car towed to auto repair shop. Their $300 diagnosis reported nothing wrong with the car. The second time, I turned my car off & on again on the shoulder. The check engine light stayed on and I and was able to drive to my destination. The check engine is now back off, but I have dropped it off at the same auto repair shop, and they are replacing an air flow sensor in hopes that this resolves the problem. This will cost us another $300. Both times I had my 18 month old in my car. I am deeply concerned.
3 times since pcm recall was completed- I have been driving on the highway 65mph, suddenly feel reduction in power, check engine light, low tire pressure lights and tractions stabilty warning lights come on. When the car is turned off, and restarted lights go out except check engine and car drives normal. By the time I get to pepboys they are unable to find a cause and the check engine light goes off.
I was traveling about 35mph up a slight incline when the engine lost power and started shaking. The traction control system, tire monitoring, and check engine light all came on at the same time. The engine didn't have any power even when I pressed all the way on the accelerator I couldn't get it to go any faster than 45mph.
Running errands on way home on the highway while on a hill suddenly incurred loss of power, check engine and driving stability warning lights came on. Pressed gas and no change in speed. Speed dropped from 45 to 20 and had to move to shoulder. Other than loss of power everything else functioning normally. Managed to return home via back roads and avoidance of hills. Speed improved somewhat once completed climbing hill but as neared home car's speed topped out at 20 mph, total trip 4 miles or so. Once in driveway turned off car and then started again neither the check engine light nor the driving stability came on again. Car well maintained first time this has happened in 2 years of ownership. Will be taking it in for service and see if problem can be diagnosed.
Out of the blue, I started my vehicle to go to work and the check engine light was on. I read in the manual the gas lid could be loose, but I checked it and it was fine. My husband took it to the dealership and they hooked it up to see what the problem was, and they said it was a miss in the engine, and he'd have to leave it with them so their tech team to try and get to the root of the problem. I had felt hesitations before while coming up our driveway, which is pretty steep. It's like it would almost stop then lunge forward pretty quick. It also has felt like it wasn't changing gears at times, like it normally would. This just happened randomly.
While driving on the highway, the vehicle very suddenly decelerated (from about 55 to 40), almost as if it slipped back a couple of gears- it was a jarring and immediate loss of power, and I could hear the engine strain as if it was forced into a lower gear. The traction control system and tire pressure monitoring dashboard lights came on, and the check engine light began flashing. I lost ability to accelerate above maybe 1k or 1. 5k rpms. When I slowed the car down and drove to a place I could safely pull over, the car was sputtering and trembling aggressively with each push of the gas pedal. When I finally did stop, I powered off the vehicle and checked the tires - all of which were fine. I turned the car back on and it behaved normally, all the error lights were cleared. I even drove it quite some distance to the dealer for maintenance. The service center said they have never heard of this type of incident. A quick web search, however, indicates that others have experienced this very same issue. This is a new (6 months) 2013 Mazda Cx-5 with around 6000 miles.
Driving on a side street, I felt a clunk through the gas pedal and the rpm's nosed dived to around 1500. Snailed it over to the shoulder, put in park, stepping on the gas would rev up to 2000 then drop to 1500 on it's own regardless of gas peddle position. In park, shut off, restarted, lots of pretty lights on the dash (at, tire pressure, engine, traction control, plus others), no change, rpm to 2000 then drop to 1500. Still in park, shut down, restarted again, rpm's were normal but no forward gears in auto or auto-manual (could shift to 'd' or +/- but wouldn't engage). While in 'd' was able to rev engine but transmission obviously not engaged at all. Reverse worked fine, shifted back to 'd' but still no response. Check engine light on. Shut down a 3rd time and restarted. Check engine on but rpm and transmission normal. Drove to dealer and dropped it off. Service dept. Called later to say ordering a valve body for transmission.
While driving vehicle on frwy, started losing power fast. As if the engine turned off. At light, traction light, stability control light and check engine light came on. Pulled to side of frwy turned car off, sat there in disbelief. I then turned the vehicle back on - only check engine light stayed on. Had power as if nothing had happen diag found code p1738, p0847. Galpin Mazda called tech line and they were told to perform a reflash to the pcm. This happen again about 2 months later. But this time all warning lights turned off after restarting. I will mention it on my next service visit.
