NHTSA Complaint #11000085 — 2013 MAZDA CX-5

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS (5/27/2017 AND 6/15/2017) WHILE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SEEMED TO LOSE POWER, AND UNABLE TO GO MORE THAN 20 MPH. THE TIRE PRESSURE, TRACTION CONTROL, EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON. BOTH TIMES I HAVE SAFELY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THEIR $300 DIAGNOSIS REPORTED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME, I TURNED MY CAR OFF & ON AGAIN ON THE SHOULDER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND I AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY DESTINATION. THE CHECK ENGINE IS NOW BACK OFF, BUT I HAVE DROPPED IT OFF AT THE SAME AUTO REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY ARE REPLACING AN AIR FLOW SENSOR IN HOPES THAT THIS RESOLVES THE PROBLEM. THIS WILL COST US ANOTHER $300. BOTH TIMES I HAD MY 18 MONTH OLD IN MY CAR. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED.
