Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TCS/DSC LIGHT, SBS/SCBS LIGHT, MRCC LIGHT, AND WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD. MY CAR THEN STARTED PUTTING OR JERKY. IT FELT AS MY CAR WAS VERY WEAK AS IF IT WAS GOING TO GIVE OUT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THESE SAME MALFUNCTIONS APPEARED. EACH TIME IT OCCURRED I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME THEY DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT HAD ALREADY TURNED OFF. THE SECOND TIME(SEPTEMBER 5), THEY GAVE ME A NEW BATTERY AND NEW COMPUTER SOFTWARE. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS SITUATION IS VERY SCARY AND I NEED TO KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING
