general problems of the 2006 Mazda MAZDA3

Started vehicle (2006 Mazda3) parked on a residential street and lightly applied gas to pull away from curb. Vehicle lunged forward rapidly and engine revved quickly and loudly. Tried to apply brakes, but they did not seem to respond or may not have had enough time to respond. Collided with a truck parked across the street 1 house down from start location. The impact was enough to lift the truck f150 up and onto the curb it was parked next to, along with damaging the axle area of the f150. The Mazda3 lost part of the frontend on the roadway due to getting wedged under the truck. The car had lunged forward like this on one occasion in the previous week, but was able to be recovered without incident.

2006 Mazda 3 lurched forward the consumer stated the vehicle was only a few months old, when she backed out of a parking space to let another vehicle get out, when suddenly the vehicle went out of control and crashed into a lamp post. When she put the vehicle into drive, it lurched forward and then accelerated through the path she had backed out of and crashed through the window of a convenience store.
