Over a period of 1-1/2 hours, our 2003 Mazda 6 quickly lost all acceleration power on 5 different occasions while driving out of town on the highway. Following a 'slight bump' the car went from 70 mph to 35 mph to 10 mph, quickly, regardless of pressure applied to the accelerator. Getting to the side of the road in traffic going 70mph+ was in itself a challenge and after pulling to a complete stop the car began jerking fiercely. Only turning off the engine completely was the system 'reset'. The Mazda dealership hooked it up and determined the throttle body must be replaced for a quoted cost of $534. 41 (macon, GA). The sensor itself, the likely culprit for this issue, is not offered or available for sale by Mazda without its 'body', unlike countless other makes, which is outrageous, but the most disgusting part of this issue is that although there are a critical number of complaints logged about this issue, the tps has not been listed as a recall. The dealership stated they did not have to replace it since there were only 'service bulletins' listed and no actual recalls for the parts. They are very aware of the situation. From my own experience and my daughter's with this issue, I can guarantee that this has definitely caused serious injuries, if not fatalities, that just haven't been reported or possibly identified. I will continue to hunt down the sensor as I will not fall prey to Mazda's 'racket'. The car will sit until I locate the part, or end up being parted out.

2007 Mazda6. Consumer states problem with clutch the consumer stated the clutch pedal would vibrate when it was depressed. The dealer replaced the clutch and flywheel. However, the vibration continued. The problem was then diagnosed as a bent connecting rod in the engine. The vehicle has an aftermarket cold air intake. The dealer stated while driving through a large puddle or creek the aftermarket intake sucked in water which cased the rod to bend and therefore the warranty was denied. The consumer didn't believe that the intake had sucked up water. The consumer stated other mechanics said it could not have sucked up a substantial amount of water.

1. There was no warning to this failure, I was on a motorway (u. K) I check my oil levels every single week 2. I had an engine over-run and could only be stopped by switching the engine off, the rev counter hit maximum and a huge cloud of white smoke was left behind me. Consequences are now I am left without a car and I could have died because I was approaching a roundabout 700 yards away and swerved between 2 lanes of moving traffic to force a stop on a lay-by. 3. Nothing was done, Mazda are blaming me for the incident even after I had my oil checked and results shown a 62% diesel oil contamination, they blame the dpf (diesel particulate filter) for this over-run as I am not doing enough "long journey" miles. Which I was, no warning lights appeared before or after the incident and the oil levels are dramatically above the full mark. No fault codes are shown on Mazda computer. My car is sitting useless on my drive as we are all to scared to drive it.

Dealer was called and car was brought to the dealer for inspection. Car has been serviced at the Mazda dealer every three thousand miles. Dealer checked the vehicle and found that an error code came up that showed that the ect temperature sensor failed which caused the computer to send excess fuel into the fuel injectors which caused a high rate of speed. Dealer fixed the problem and charged $400. 00 for the repair. The incident could have caused a major problem if I was driving in open traffic.

I purchased what I believed to be a brand new car on December 13, 2004 the car I purchased is a 2005 Mazda 6 I did not no at the time that the car I believed to be new had 1,610 miles on it, I believe he sold me a demo which is also a part of my complaint, on 2-4-05 my brand new Mazda broke down, and now needs a new motor, it was towed on 2-4-05 and taken to white plains Mazda, white plains NY on 2-8-05 where as of this 2-17-05 it is still in the shop awaiting a new motor, to which I have every intention on taking said vehicle when it is repaired back to place of purchase, I believe that maybe they might have even turned back the odometer, I wish for this to be noted so therefore maybe Mazda down on hillside avenue , in jamaica queens will not do this to anyone else. Also how does a brand new vehicle purchased in December break down the first week in February.

When the throttle is fully depressed while passing, the engine downshifts as it is supposed to but will never upshift again until the driver consciously pats the accelerator to make it upshift or the engine hits the redline on the rpm module.
