NHTSA Complaint #10604581 — 2013 MAZDA CX-5

THE 1ST INCIDENT WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2012, DRIVING UP MY BLOCK THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. I COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 5MPH AND DROVE BACK HOME. THE NEXT DAY CAR RAN FINE AND I BROUGHT IT FOR SERVICE WHERE THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND NO ERRORS ON THE COMPUTER. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST TO YEARS AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY REV'S FOR NO REASON AND I HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. THEN FREQUENTLY WHEN YOU WANT TO ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY ENTERING A HIGHWAY, THE CAR JUST DOES NOT SPEED UP OR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN BY ITSELF. THE CAR FREQUENTLY FEELS LIKE YOU CANNOT STOP WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THAT IF I HAD TO STOP QUICKLY I WOULD CRASH! MANY TIMES SITTING AT A LIGHT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, I HEAR A THUMP AND THE CAR SURGES FORWARD, LUCKILY IT HAS NOT CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE WHERE THEY RESET IT, WITHIN A MONTH IT WAS BACK ON AGAIN AND NEVER SHUTS OFF UNLESS RESET. I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO LOOK FOR A NEW NON MAZDA CAR THIS WEEKEND AND TRADING THIS CAR IN BECAUSE IT IS JUST TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS REALLY IS A SHAME!! *TR
