2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2012 Mazda MAZDA3

Failure Date: 09/25/2015

I just got off work and got in my car to leave. I turned on the car and everything seemed normal. I pulled out of the parking lot and as soon as I pulled up to the light, which was 1block away, my car shut off. I was just at the red light waiting then my car turned off and would not turn back on. All the power in the car was there but my car would just not turn back on, my vehical was being operated in the automatic position. This was dangerous because it was a Friday afternoon during the 5 o'clock traffic and I had all these vehicals lined up behind me honking and I had to push my vehicals off to the side and call a tow truck. My vehical was luckily on the city street.

4 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2007 Mazda MAZDA3

Failure Date: 10/05/2014

While driving my car to turn into the shopping center parking lot, the steering wheel locked up and was very stiff. At the same time the engine shut off and essentially causing my car to stop in the middle of the parking lot. All engine, power, and battery lights flashed on and off at the same time. I ended up putting the car in park turn off the car with my key and then restarting it again. After researching I saw there was a recall for my model and year, when I called the customer service department the rep not having any notice for a recall for my type of model and did not honor the recall that I had mentioned to him. I am now having to look outside of my means in order to pay for this issue.
