Car engine stopping while running and a no start. Service engine light warnings over a long time. One repair by Mazda on the gas cap repair, but I have also uncovered a recall on leaking seals at the tank on 2003 models, 03v-531. Service light again came on from 10/18/10 -10/30/10. While out of town the car sat airport parking on my return it stopped without warning at a light 11/22/10, but all lights and radio stations were active, so no battery problem. After adjusting the filler gas cap several times I found it wasn't closing and could be pulled right off. We have made sure the cap is on tightly each time and since canncelled the dealer appointment for a $100 inspection, no light since. 2/9/11 after driving 35 miles the car would not restart, aaa came out and no battery trouble, but a 30 mile towing was required to my home. The vehicle sits in a garage avg temp of 35-45f. The next morning affter several attemps and using both keys it restarted and we took it into a dealer. @2 days later tehy find a "service bullitin" 901-009/07) from 2007. Possible @ -30c (zerof) the no start or crank due to moisture within the main relay and/or fuel pump relay. That night 25-30f in Nov no way close. On 02/12/11 while driving on is77 the car quite running again, 911 called as I made it to the side of the road under heavy fast moving traffic. This week on 2/22 while in the garage hesitant to turn over again but did start on the 3rd try, vehicle temp reading was 47f. So now for 2 new parts for 2003-2005 models and $450+ repairs can be made. The parts are in and per the bulletin looks more like a by-pass option than replaceing a defective oem part. Cutting out while driving is very serious, as much so as acceleration on a Toyota. Since my company is tied to the tire/wheel & auto mfg and we conduct 1/2 dot tire test for the USA, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about on defects.
