I own a 2005 Mazda 6 I sedan. After owning my car for 7 months it has turned off 3 times while driving. Once I was on the highway the other two times I was at a stop. I have taken it to the dealership twice to have the problem examined and no problem has been found. My car has received all of the scheduled maintenance. Yet the problem still occurs. When the car stalls it usually starts again immediately however I don't think a new car should have this problem.
I was reading this complaint section and noticed that there was someone complaining about the same issues I was having. I own a 2005 Mazda6 sedan sport -- it has died three times on me, for no apparent reason. Once at a stop sign, again at a metering light on the freeway and then again in the middle of a busy intersection in san francisco. I have documented all three incidents and have brought to the dealership, but they never really found anything "wrong" -- but obviously something is wrong if my brand new car dies. This was back in November and it's been fine ever since (it's April now), but I still have some sort of anxiety when driving - not knowing if I will reach my destination or not.
