Consumer Description

I DROVE OVER BUMPY RAIL ROAD TRACKS, WENT TO GIVE IT GAS TO GO AND ENGINE REVVED BUT NO ACCELERATION. DASH LIGHT THAT NORMALLY SAYS 'D' WAS BLANK. SHIFTED TO MANUAL MODE AND ATTEMPTED TO UP OR DOWN SHIFT BUT DASH LIGHT STILL BLANK AND NO SHIFTING POSSIBLE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING IN NUETRAL BUT THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS IN DRIVE OR IN MANUAL MODE. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOTED TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON WHILE SHIFT SELECTOR INDICATOR WAS BLANK. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND SEEMED TO DRIVE OK AT THIS POINT AFTER THIS. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED AND HAD ROOM TO GET OFF THE ROAD. IF I HAD GOTTEN STUCK ON THE TRACKS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. AND THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNLESS THERE IS A CODE STORED. NO CODE SO NOTHING I CAN DO. THIS RANKS UP THERE IN LEVEL OF DANGER YET MAZDA CAN DO NOTHING?
