Consumer Description

DURING THE COLD WEATHER, THE CAR STRUGGLED TO START. AFTER STARTING, THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS FLASHED ON BOTH THE PARKING BRAKE BUTTON AND IN THE DASH. THE CAR DROVE AS IF THE BRAKE WAS DISENGAGED BUT THE FLASHING LIGHTS CONTINUE (PARKING BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING). A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE AND A WEBSITE SHOWS THIS ISSUE ALSO HAS OCCURRED IN THE PAST WITH OTHER 2016 MODELS THAT HAVE HAD RECALLS (MAZDA6). SO FAR MAZDA DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.
