2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2016

I sold this Mazda6 to an auto dealer (shortline auto group, aurora, CO) in November 2015. I have since received several recall notices regarding the car from Mazda north american operations. Each time, I have sent back the enclosed information change card, telling Mazda that I sold the car, and giving them the name and address of the buyer. Yet Mazda continues to send me the recall notices. This makes me worry that they are not updating their owner databases with the info from returned information change cards (something they obviously should be doing).

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.
