Tl the contact owns a 2007 Mazda 3. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle lost power, steering ability, and the radio shut off. Also, the power steering warning indicator illuminated. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The contact stated that the failure was similar to the failure listed in NHTSA campaign number: 10v374000 (steering). The failure mileage was 210,548.
The car idles very high which prevents it from shifting into gear most of the time. The idle and rpms will also accelerate when no one is touching the gas while driving making the car speed up when you are not speeding up. When these issues are happening the car also shuts off while driving it (while it is still on and being driven down the road) or sometimes will rev up when you push on the break causing it to launch forward. My car has almost caused several accidents because it died while driving it on the freeway and the starring wheel locked and could not be turned to drive me off to the side of the road. It has also launched forward while braking causing me to almost hit cars in front of me.

Since we had this car, we've had to repair the engine oxygen sensor at least 2 times. Why this continues to malfunction we don't know, but at some point we shouldn't have to pay for a faulty engine/electrical system part.
Was driving down the freeway and all of a sudden it sounded like I ran over a large piece of debris and the car jolted. I tried to accelerate but there was no response and safely pulled over. Turned the car off and tried to turn it back on but there was no turnover. Looked at it and there was oil mixed with metal shards and a crack in the engine. Took it to the dealership of purchase and it was determined that the engine had blown. Let the manufacturer know but they did nothing to help.
The check engine came on. I took the car twice to a Mazda trained mechanic who was not able to solve the problem. The diagnostic tool showed a p-2177 code. Many other Mazda owners have had this problem. The indicator check engine came on while driving on the interstate. . Read more...
Cracked engine mounts. Common problem in the vehicle year and model. Should be looked at for recall.
There is an issue with the rear brake light assembly, the red plastic assembly melted into the break light bulbs causing both rear brake lights to burn out. Currently, both assembly have holes where the red plastic melted, this is a potential fire hazard. There is an issue with the front passenger side engine mount, it has been replaced three times and continues to fail, might an engineering defect on the engine mount. Finally, dashboard airbag indicator has turned on unexpectedly and has remained on ever since, might be defective part in the srs airbag system.
2007 Mazda 3, whenever I come to a stop my vehicle vibrates really bad as if it want to stop. I have took the Mazda back to flow Mazda and they said it was nothing but everytime I stop it does the same thing. I also took it to sears and they said they see nothing wrong with the vehicle but something iscalling the vehicle to vibrate whenever it isn't moving.
Vehicle was travelling along on 30 mph road with 'stop' sign ahead. As vehicle slowed down to about 15 mph, transmission started to shake, several warning lights came on and off, including oil and power steering, rpm fell very close to 0 (zero) and car died. Vehicle was able to stop at the 'stop' sign. Even though the vehicle was still on, any pressure on the gas pedal did not provide power or input to the transmission, now in 1st gear, to move the car. Car needed to be completely turned off and then turned on before it could move again. This issue has been ongoing for 4 years regardless of speed. The car has also decided to stop providing power while in motion while in moving traffic or on the highway, which could have resulted in multiple car crashes or worse. Mazda refuses to aknoledge that anything is wrong with the car since they "cannot replicate the problem". This issue is sporadic and occurs regardless of speed (usually around 30 mpg or less), weather, distance travelled, amount of time car has been in consistent use, etc. Mazda has even hooked this car up to their computer system and no error code has been found. This issue has been extensiely documented with our local Mazda dealer and paperwork is available for review. This car has been a true lemon since we bought it. It only has roughly 55k miles on it.
Upon stopping at a red light my car started shaking really badly and then shut off. This has happened on numerous occasions since the initial incident. When the brakes are not applied, the engine will not shake, but obviously for safety reasons, the breaks must be applied while stopped at a traffic light. On 3 other occasions the car turned off just as I was giving it gas to start going again, resulting in me having to coast over to the shoulder (with the car being off and no power steering to assist) in order to get my car started again. This is a dangerous fault that I have seen so many people complain of. I have read it is due to a faulty purge solenoid valve along with other things, but no one at Mazda seems to know or care much about it.
I am the owner of a 2007 Mazda 3 . Several days ago, while my 18 year old daughter was driving it, the car lost power, locking the steering (while she was on a curve), and she left the road, hitting a tree, and totaling the car. She was not hurt.
