I was turning right into a parking space with my foot on the brake, when the car suddenly accelerated. The engine revved up and the car darted forward. For a split second I lifted my foot to make sure I was not pressing on the accelerator, and immediately pushed back down on the brake as hard as I could; the car continued to speed forward. Instinctively I kept the wheel turned to the right to avoid crashing into the building in front of me as the car jumped the curb, but I hit 2 parked cars. Once I was almost stopped by hitting the 2 parked cars, I quickly turned the key off and put the car in park. I have never experienced this issue before; and let me tell you, I was terrified. I have pictures that show tire marks either from the cars acceleration or dragging the back wheels from pushing on the brake.

Car surges unexpectedly even when gas pedal not engaged - can cause a rushed forward or reverse motion, putting pedestrians or other cars at risk. This happens daily. Problem was identified by dealership several months ago. There is a related oil leak.

Unintended acceleration in parking lot. Car was in drive, foot lightly on brake waiting on car in front to vacate parking spot. Engine suddenly surged and transmission made strange sound. Barely avoided running over an elderly pedestrian. This is about 4-5 time the car has done this in the last 6 months usually while waiting in a line of cars with foot on brake.

I was referred to contact you regarding unintended acceleration cases with the Mazda cx-9s. I was a victim of this on January 2, 2013. Upon researching, I was made aware that several other consumers have posted their experience that exactly matched what I experienced. I need to take legal action and warn other innocent drivers before someone is killed or maimed. I have been seeking legal action because Mazda is doing a complete cover up, identical to how Toyota handled their unintentional acceleration cases for many years before people began dying. To date, I have been told by all attorneys I have contacted that had I been killed or maimed, I would have a case. I can not believe in this country that we have to wait until people are maimed or killed when we have plenty of evidence that there is a deadly problem. There must be something we can do before innocent people have to die. Mazda told me (just like all the other victims) there was absolutely nothing wrong with my car, they could not replicate the 60 mph to 100+ mph unintended acceleration during rush hour and that no repairs would be made. Eleven days later, Mazda corporate called to tell me that my parts had been ordered and would be installed that day. I said "what parts??!!!" they told me to call the dealer who was shocked that I knew about the repairs and told me that yes, they were replacing parts but they had nothing to do with the unintended acceleration. Now that the car has been fixed, I'm not able to prove that there was anything wrong with it. Had there been snow or other road conditions, I would have been in a major accident. I have lots of back up documentation I can provide. . I pushed as hard as I could with both feet on the brake (knees locked), the emergency brake on and the car in park. With all of those actions combined, my car still would not stop. No damage-impossible!.
