Consumer Description

UPON STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR STARTED SHAKING REALLY BADLY AND THEN SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED, THE ENGINE WILL NOT SHAKE, BUT OBVIOUSLY FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE BREAKS MUST BE APPLIED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ON 3 OTHER OCCASIONS THE CAR TURNED OFF JUST AS I WAS GIVING IT GAS TO START GOING AGAIN, RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER (WITH THE CAR BEING OFF AND NO POWER STEERING TO ASSIST) IN ORDER TO GET MY CAR STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FAULT THAT I HAVE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF. I HAVE READ IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY PURGE SOLENOID VALVE ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS, BUT NO ONE AT MAZDA SEEMS TO KNOW OR CARE MUCH ABOUT IT. *TR
