MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT ISSUE FIRST BEGAN ABOUT 50K MILES (OCT. 2012). THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND I WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. MY MECHANIC FIXED THE BRAKES AROUND THE SAME TIME AND TOOK AROUND THE BLOCK, WENT OVER A BUMP AND THE BULB CAME BACK ON. I'VE HAD ISSUE EVER SINCE. USUALLY I CAN GIVE IT A LITTLE TAP AND IT WILL COME BACK ON. NOT THIS TIME! IVE REPLACED THE BULB TWICE SINCE 2013, IT'S AT 80,555 MILES NOW AND IT WON'T COME BACK ON AT ALL! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, FOR I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERENT AND FOUND MANY MAZDA 6'S IN MANY MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. MY DRIVERS SEAT BELT JUST BEGAN GETTING STUCK AT 80,300 MILES. THE DAY BEFORE FATHER'S DAY WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. (JUNE 20, 2015). I WENT TO TARGET AND I...

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD IN MY 2005 MAZDA 6 WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER THE RPMS WENT UP AND DOWN 3 TIMES( 1000 RPMS EACH TIME). IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT, MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL FLOORED AND IT BARELY STOPPED IN TIME. I MANAGED TO STOP WITH MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS FOR A FEW MINUTES WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD SO I ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE VERY SLOWLY AND THE BRAKES WERE SUDDENLY WORKING. I PULLED THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT WITH NO BRAKE PROBLEMS AND GOT IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THE SHOP IS TELLING ME THEY ARE NOT...

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY. I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD NOT FAR FROM MY HOME AND GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR BEGAN TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO OVER 50 MPH. I BEGAN TO BRAKE, BUT IT FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME SOMEONE WAS PRESSING HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD. IT WAS A DEFINITE HARD PUSH ON THE BRAKE -- AS IF I HAD LOST POWER BRAKES. THERE WERE CARS AHEAD OF ME STOPPED IN THE ROAD BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO STOP -- BUT BARELY. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AFTER FINALLY STOPPING MY CAR WHEN IT SURGED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET WHILE MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE....

THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED WITH MY FOOT OF THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURB AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN IT INCREASED TO 40 MPHS, AND THE RPM NEEDLE JUMPED UP AND DOWN, AND FINALLY IT GOT STUCK AT 3RPS. I WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND MAKE LOUD ENGINE SOUNDS. I TIRED TO BRAKE BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, I KEPT DRIVING UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO LET OTHER CARS PASS, AND PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. IN NEUTRAL THE CAR STILL ACCELERATED, AND MADE NOISES, THAT I THEN PUT IT IN PARKED. HOWEVER IN PARK THE RPM WAS STILL STUCK AT 3 AND THE MPH NEEDLE BOUNCE BETWEEN 0-40 MPH. FINALLY AFTER A MINUTE THE NEEDLE DROP TO 0 MPH, AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AFTER WAITING 5 MINUTES I...
