Consumer Description

ON DECEMBER 1, 2012 WHILE DRIVING AT 58MPH AROUND 345PM ON THE EXPRESSWAY, MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR WITH STEADY PRESSURE, THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT MAINTAINING SPEED. I TRIED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT IT DID NOT MOVE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN TRIED WITH ALL THE FORCE OF MY LEG TO PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT WITH NO AVAIL. I TRIED LIFTING THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT SEVERAL TIMES AND SUDDENLY THE PEDAL FREED UP. THIS WAS ON A SUNNY DAY, TEMPERATURE AROUND 60 . I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ON COLD MORNINGS ON THE WAY TO WORK OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS BUT THOUGHT THE CAR WAS COLD AND THE CAR HAD NOT A CHANCE TO WARM UP. IN 2010 I FILED A COMPLAINT.NO RESPONSE. BUT THIS TIME I WAS TRULY AFRAID OF GETTING IN A BAD CAR ACCIDENT AND INJURING OTHERS.I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL. ON MONDAY I PLAN TO CONTACT MAZDA FOR HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I URGE YOU TO LOOK MORE INTO THIS MAKE/MODEL YEAR. *TR
