Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Mazda MAZDA3

Car continuingly shows evap dtcs including p0443 and p0446 as well as either too rich or too lean fuel mixture and and O2 sensor issue code. Both O2 sensors were replace previously. The main concern is dangerous and has already almost caused several accidents while the issue has occurred after driving from a stopped position. The issue is, when the vehicle stops at 0 mph, the normal idling rpm speed is around 750rpm. During stops longer than a second, the car will lower the idle rpms to about 500rpm and stay until the throttle is engaged. When the throttle is engaged the vehicle hesitates and comes close to stalling. The vehicle will not power the wheels above about 1000rpms when the throttle is fully depressed and the car will hesitate until the car starts to gradually move forward. This all is happening in the intersection. As the car gets to the intersection, the car starts to pick up to about 1000 to 1500rpm and only then will the car start to fully drive forward without relation to driver's forced depression of the throttle. Basically the vehicle is defiantly not going above 1500rpm until the vehicle is a certain ways forward. This is very dangerous and I have already had very close calls with a Dodge durango, a tractor trailer, an unidentified sedan, and a Toyota prius (of all the vehicles in the world). I was almost "t-boned" by a prius. This issue is I believe to be an issue with the fuel system or engine as this issue only really occurs when it is very very humid or hot out. Usually above 80 degrees with any humidity at all. Could be a vaporlock, although somewhat unusual for a fuel injected vehicle, it isn't impossible.

On February 23, 2015, I purchased a new 2014 Mazda 3 s grand touring sedan with technical package, VIN # jm1bm1w33e1179575. The vehicle current mileage is 5,470. Since purchase, this car has had a stalling problem that is intermittent, unpredictable, and not reproducible on demand. Stalling means it does not respond to normal pressure on the accelerator, and literally coasts for a period of time. This time may vary from 2 to 10 seconds in a given instance. During this time the motor is running, there is no check engine light, and no codes are thrown. I have learned that quickly repeated pressing of the accelerator may help terminate the stalling. Common factors when stalling occurs seem to be when the engine is warm. The car has been driven for a while, and then the car has been parked for a short time, restarted, and moved back to traffic followed by a 90 degree right or left turn or car is driving normal route then stops for a stop light/stop sign or traffic, followed by a 90 degree right or left turn. In both these scenarios, there is a sharp turn. The car will just finish the turn and then stall when the accelerator pedal is pressed. It should go without saying that if this problem occurs at the wrong time, it could be a major safety hazard to life and property.

I was notified by the Mazda dealership that an integral hydraulic engine mount was cracking and needed replacement. I was just past my car's warranty so I drove on it since they said it was safe. On November 8th 2013 during a service I was told the integral mount was about to break and needed immediate replacement. They said if the mount had broken while driving it could cause an accident, not to mention destroy the motor. I had them replace it but had to pay out of pocket since it was past warranty and not a recall. I researched online and found numerous complaints from other owners of the same series car and within adjacent years of the same motor mount cracking and needing replacement under 50,000 miles. Some complained about having to replace the replacement later after putting some more mileage on it. This is an obviously inherently defective part that should be recalled. Please look into this and force Mazda to recall this defect as it is a danger to public safety if one were to break while driving. Thank you so much for your time and service.

My daughter was driving a 2006 Mazda 3 hatchback on willow street, long beach, CA yesterday afternoon around 4 pm, the engine suddenly stopped and she turned the car into a parking lot. She opened the hood and found out the engine was leant toward front about 45 degree. She did not go through any bumps on the road, just driving on normal streets. We checked on google and discovered the broken engine mounts have been the major cause of such kind of prolbems. Lots of complaints came from the owners who drove less than 20,000 miles. The cars with the broken engine mounts could stop at the middle of driving on the roads and cause rear-ended accidents. Nhtsa should investigate the design of the engine mounts and inform the manufacturer to replace the parts to ensure tje safety of the vehicles and the drivers.

I am very concerned about the safety of the car that I have had since 2004 Mazda 3. On Sunday, I was hit by a car at about a 20 to 30 degree angle and the impact hit my passenger door. Neither one of us was going at a speed that should have had a result in the damage that occurred. When he hit us and the car came to rest, the police and towing people discovered that the engine had snapped off its mounting. My airbags did not deploy either. He told me that both he and the towing agent had ever seen this happen before to a car with as little damage to it. I went to the tow place where they were holding my car to take pictures and look at the car, and both of the people (different people than the original tow driver) said they had never seen anything like that. The one guy said only twice has he seen that happen and both had major damage to the car and that they were demolished up to half of the car. He also said the mounting piece of hardware looked like it was made of diecast not metal or aluminum, when we inspected it we noticed the part that was snapped and I must admit it looked like plastic. I had to have the struts replaced in 2008, but yet I had never hit the tires hard on anything. My question is this something that should be investigated and could it be dangerous to other drivers of this year. I know that they have made engines that are designed to drop in accident recently, but not for this year and not for that type of accident. I have written to Mazda requesting an investigation and I await their response.
