I was driving at a very low speed in heavy traffic . Lane next to me started moving, so I decided to change lane, find a empty space between 2 vehicles and decided to make a turn. My Mazda stalled , and did not move. I had to put it back to "park", stop the car, and restart, after that it ran ok. All this was on a freeway with moving traffic in the middle of the lane, when my wheels were turned and partially on the next lane and car body was standing still. I searched on the internet and it has happened to many people , due to iac valve getting clogged up. This should be a safety recall .
I was waiting to make a left turn into my drive way, waiting to clear oncoming traffic. When the oncoming traffic was cleared, I found a gap before the next car comes my way and I decided it was safe to make a left turn. I turned the wheels of my Mazda Mpv , but car went stalled, it would not move. I had to stop the engine, and restart the car. I searched the internet and many people have the same issue due to clogged up iac valve. This is a very big risk to the safety of the passengers and should be a recall.
After 60k miles, my van started stalling when slowing down or speeding up. Not every time but often enough to concern my safety and the safety of my children. It happened twice today within 10 miles from each incident.
