general problems of the 2007 Mazda MAZDA3

I had a serious accident because my steering locked up so I couldn't steer my steering wheel . I rolled my car and nearly was killed.

I have a manual transmission and my car twice now has had the accelerator pedal go all the to the floor and gets stuck all the way down while I am driving on the freeway. Two other times it has, while shifting out of one gear and into another, immediately rev up to 8 rpms (max for my vehicle) again while on the freeway forcing me to pull onto the shoulder and wait for the car to quit revving. That has occurred while merging onto the freeway in between gears making me unable to get it back into a gear.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Mazda Mazda 3. The contact stated that after decelerating to a stop, the vehicle would lunge forward abnormally and the check engine light illuminated immediately after the failure. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown. The current mileage was approximately 93,000. The VIN was unavailable. Kmj.

On 2/08/2007 my newly purchased Mazda 3 was running for 45 minutes at 40 miles per hour and the engine raced. On 2/16/2007, the engine raced again and the car switched from first gear to 5th gear in 1 second while the engine raced. On 2/19/2007, the brakes failed to stop, narrowly avoiding an accident while the engine raced. The car was put in park and the engine raced again. Earlier that same day, the car changed from first gear to fifth gear and then to second gear while making a clicking sound. When it was checked out by the Mazda dealership, they said there was nothing wrong with the car. This car could have caused a horrific accident and still could.
