I bought this car for 3,000 from the owner had it for 2 months, got oil and all fluids changed. When I was leaving my house a block away it totally died on me and now it wont start at all. I am very frustrated because I dont have the money to buy abother one. Or even repair it.
Repeated throttle body issues, car while driving will drop to a crawl with erratic revving. Did this in the middle of the express way, nearly causing an accident, had to be towed away. Will not start do to revving loop caused by throttle body. Multiple TSB have been issued for this problem, so it seems the throttle body issues plague many customers.
"takata recall" I parked my car when I got off work. The next day I went to crank my car it would turn over but it wouldn't start, so I took it to a mechanic and he said my computer was out. The vehicle was stationary in my yard.
Engine will shut off without warning at any speed. I researched the issue and found that there are a large number of complaints regarding the exact same symptoms with the 2003-2005 Mazda 6. Mazda even released a service bulletin: 01-016/06 in 2006 regarding a bad throttle body with aa, ab, or ba markings. Sure enough after removing the throttle body, mine had the aa markings. From the amount of online complaints and the fact that a service bulletin was released, this is not an isolated issue. This is a huge safety concern and should be a safety recall. To top it off, currently Mazda has an issue with replacement throttle body's that will cause the car to jerk and stall at anytime. They have admitted that the current new stock of throttle bodies will not work with my vehicle. This will cause people to keep driving with a bad throttle body since there is no replacement.
