NHTSA Complaint #10567932 — 2012 MAZDA MAZDA3

HELLO, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 30-40 MPH IN THE PASSING LANE. I WENT TO ACCELERATE PAST A TRUCK WHEN I NOTICED I WASN'T GAINING ANY SPEED. I LOOKED DOWN AND THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON. THINKING THAT I MIGHT BE IN A LOWER GEAR AND MY AUTO TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING WELL I CHANGED IT OVER TO MANUAL. THERE WERE NO GEAR LIGHTS INDICATED ON THE DASH. I COULD NOT GET ANY POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE ENGINE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHILE STILL KIND OF ON THE ROAD CONSIDERING I HAD NO POWER. IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE RESET. I CALLED MAZDA TODAY AND THEY SEEMED ALMOST LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. WELL I CONSIDER THIS A BIG DEAL, LOSING TRANSMISSION POWER ON A HIGHWAY IS A BIG DEAL. ANYWAYS I SAW A POST A FEW DAYS AGO WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! *TR
