Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH FOR THE HOLIDAYS WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND A WRENCH LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH BOARD. ENGINE WAS IDLING VERY RUFF AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE IN FORWARD OR REVERSE LIKE THE POWER TRAIN WAS BROKEN. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF ENGINE, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED ENGINE. WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED, WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND FINISHED DRIVING HOME. SINCE THEM THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THREE MORE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR BUT THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AS NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WRENCH LIGHT WERE DISPLAYED. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN YET NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO CORRECT PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT MAZDA SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP, BE MADE TO RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND MAKE THEM SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. *TR
