For seemingly no reason, the vehicle will restart and stall while driving and multiple warning lights will illuminate. This has happened while driving slow, fast and while turning. When this happens, I need to immediately pull over and restart the engine. The check engine light turns on and indicates an abrupt voltage change issue, but soon turns off after a few power cycles. This started to happen more and more often, and more recently, I had the car not able to start as if the battery died. All my electrical components, such as headlights and hazard lights shut off and after about 10 seconds, they all turned back on and running normally. At this point my vehicle started up again just fine. This has nearly caused an accident a couple times and no mechanic has been able to diagnose the issue yet. Although, this issue seems alarmingly close to a recent recall that was announced for 2018-2019 Mazdas relating to a software issue that causes unexpected engine stalling relating to the fuel-saving cylinder deactivation technology. Unfortunately, even though my vehicle contains the same technology, it wasn't included on this recall list.
My car has been showing red check engine light randomly for the lst 3 months. It lasts 24 - 48 hrs, sometimes after oil change. Dealer said nothing to worry about, but I finally took it to autozone who said code was stored as misfire on cylinder 4. Dealer is looking at it now, but always dismissed it before. Now that I know it has to due with a cylinder - why didn't they investigate further? of course my car is about 2 months out of warranty and 17oo miles as of today.

My vehicle has been having an issue with the throttle position sensor. As well as the pcm, usually connected as noted by my mechanic. 3 things can come from this he said. I could be having an issue with the gas pedal, the computer, or I need a new throttle body. From my understanding so far the issue causes the computer to incorrectly read, causing the check engine light as well as a few others to abruptly turn on while car is in full motion, for me this is typically at 55 mph. The car then looses the ability to properly accelerate, or decelerate. I have to quickly pull my car to the shoulder, put in park while the car seems to be lurching forward, and turn off the engine. If I do not do this quick enough the engine begins to rev high and low continuously. My rpm gauge bounces around as it is doing so. After leaving the car off for a few moments I can then restart. My check engine light will now stay on for about 50 miles and turn itself off. Once the light has gone off usually withing 15 miles my car will do it all over again. After calling my dealer, because I still owe 2 more years of payment on the car, I am told that they can fix it if I have my warranty intact. Unfortunately it has run out as of July. The part alone from the dealership is $700. Why is there no recall on this issue if so many people are having it?.

Was at a stop sign to make a left turn half way thru the car stalled and all lights came on, vehicle behind me almost ran into us. Barely got pulled over to the side of the road had to turn car off and then back on the check engine light remained on but vehicle would drive, after about 5 starts the light came off had the car checked, was told it was the throttle body. One week later same thing wet to pull onto a busy street and car stalled almost causing another wreck, tried to drive it home and stopped at the grocery store, when I went to pull in the car stalled again in the middle of the street, blocking on coming traffic. Called Mazda to see how much it would cost to be fixed, the lady told me that if it was still under warranty it would be free but that expired in 2011. I have seen many of the same complaints about this, Mazda has admitted to it being a problem but has not recalled it. We have two kids and thank god nothing serious has happened with us in the car. This problem could very easily cause injury or deaths to any drivers on the road.
At 75,000 and light driving, the car would 'clunk' hard when it slowed. The dealer took 3 hours and 500 dollars to fix an engine mount bolt. Also they said the check engine light was on. Two oxygen sensors are out and wanted a few hundred dollars more. Sadly disappointed in this lightly Mazda 6 v6 2006 car! the engine mount bolts would have been horrible if the engine fell in traffic.

Mazda mpv 2002
dear sirs:
I own a Mazda mpv 2002 model which has been having minor sporadic trouble for some time. Between 1500 and 1800 rpm it would sometimes jerk and sputter and then it would settle down and continue. I've taken this to two different dealers during routine scheduled service and they said that couldn't find anything until the engine light came on. Well after several months of this, finally the engine light came on , I replaced the coils 1,2,3 I noticed an improvement but eventually the problem recurred and was told to replace the remaining 3 coils plus a hose. Four days after leaving the shop on a trip of 50 miles the engine lost power on a highway creating a dangerous condition for my family. After having it towed to the same dealership. I was told it was unrelated and that I needed to replace the transmission to the tune of $3400 after having already spent $1200.

After 4 previous repairs I started my car and my check engine light once again began to flash, this time flashing rapidly. I called the dealer who told me not to drive the car because the rapid flash means the car is unsafe. I was told I had a bad coil. After a $400 repair, I proceeded to drive the car home only to have the same light flash. The dealer then told me my cataliytic converters split. Now I have a $4,600 repair job on a 2003. Please check to see if there are any other complaints on this vehicle. I have had nothing but problems with this car for the past year. Thank you.
: the contact stated while applying brake pressure in stop and go traffic, the engine stalled without warning. Afterwards, the check engine light illuminated momentarily, and the engine was easily restarted. The dealer inspected the vehicle, and performed a diagnostic test which did not produce any failure codes. The manufacturer was alerted.
2005 grand touring gets stuck in gear while driving. The vehicle became stuck in gear three time while driving on the freeway. The consumer took her foot off the accelerator yet the vehicle continued to move at 60 mph. The consumer pressed the brake pedal but the vehicle continued at 60 mph. The consumer put the car in manual 6 speed and the vehicle bucked then worked normally. As soon as the vehicle was put back into automatic mode the gears became stuck. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The consumer noticed condensation on the inside bottom of the windshield. The check engine light illuminated due to failed throttle body. The radio experienced problems. The left rear wheel was bent and caused vibration while driving.

I purchased my Mazda in 2003. Since the purchase everything was fine until the end of oct. 2005 my engine light came on and my car was shaking, and my rpms where malfunctioning (going up and down, then back up again). I took my car to the dealership and was informed that my car jumped time, my car had under 45k miles. They fixed it, but in the beginning of Nov. 2005, not even a month later, my car did the same thing, but this time I was told that the bolts in my engine needed to be replace. Then in the summer of 2006 I had a vacuum leak, my car would start and stop, I had that repaired at repair shop of my own chose, since my warranty was up. Now in April 2007, I was informed by a repair shop, of my own chose, that I thrown a rod in my motor.
The consumer stated the engine hesitated when she hit the gas and when she is driving, it seemed to hesitate and then goes on. She said the check engine light came on. She has had it to the dealer three times. All this has happened in the last three weeks. She said that two months ago they tried to lock it and the horn started blowing. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
I drive a 2003 Mazda 6s, which I purchased from bigger's Mazda in elgin, IL. This vehicle was purchased new from them. My area of concern involves the check engine light on my vehicle, and the performance of the vehicle when this light is on. On April 2, 2004 my check engine light appeared for the third time. When I operate my vehicle with the light on it performs erratically and unusual. The last time the light came on, I was pulling out into traffic, and my vehicle bogged down. In turn, the driver behind almost rear-ended me. While driving my vehicle yesterday, I went to pass a car on the expressway, and again my car bogged down. Every time that I take my car to the dealer, I provide them with the same complaint. I have paperwork to show that I have taken it in three times. After a recent visit to my dealer, they stated, "we have no fix for the check engine light. The light will always come back on. If you are lucky, our Mazda engineers will have a remedy by August 2004 (today is 4/6/04). The check engine light is caused by a misfire in the fourth cylinder". What an awful response from the dealer. I am concerned about the safety of my car. I am also concerned about the other drivers around my car. After three visits to my dealer, I feel lost and helpless. Please advise.

The "new" vehicle had 900 unexplained mile on it upon purchase. Within 4 months the check engine light came on and the vehicle kicks back when changing gears. Took to dealer in pennsylvania, was advised that needed knock sensor replaced, but they did not have part. Took the vehicle to dealer in virginia, did not look at it, although I told them what other dealership said, and told them there was a recall on it. Took to different dealership and was advised that there are 2 recalls, and they were fixed. Now the fan races minutes after the vehicle is off. Also, the vehicle seems to be lacking in power despite the engine is 220 horse power.
I purchased a 2003 Mazda six on 6-28-03. 2 months later the engine and other dash lights appear and car shuts off. I pick up the car 6 days later only to return it a week later when the engine light comes on again. A week later I pick it up on Friday at 11:00 a. M. And by 7:00 p. M. All dash lights come on, transmission slipping, speed odometer erratic, and loss of power. It has been in the shop for 12 more days and they can not tell me anything. My piece of crap has been in the shop for 26 days, they have damaged numerous things(spoiler has crack, paint nicks on hood and doors)all I want is my money back and I walk away!.
Power windows only worked intermittently. Dealer in salem, va could not reproduce problem. Dealer in dale city repaired. Check engine light came on during acceleration. Dealer diagnosed and determined light was associated with power windows. One week later, light came on again. Dealer rotated a fuel injected, took the car for two days and deteremined that the problem was fixed. Two months later, the light came on again. Dealer replaced pcm. Two weeks later, light is on again.
The engine light and transmission light indicated a problem to me, as well as the car jerking upon acceleration. After taking the car to the dealer for service it was determined that knock sensor had malfunctioned. Since the first visit to the dealership for service regarding this problem, it has happened 5 times. I have contacted my dealer and the manufacturer and am still dealing with this issue. My dealer has made no attempt to rectify the situation other than replacing the engine sensor over and over. The car was out of commision for over a week each time. I have gone to the dealer asking for their help in contacting Mazda about a new engine and or car and they are completly uncooperative.
