EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AT NIGHT, MY LOWER DASH (RADIO, HVAC) AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS LIGHTING WENT OUT FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES, AND THEN CAME BACK ON. THIS STARTED HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FROM THAT POINT ON, SHUTTING OFF AND COMING BACK ON RANDOMLY, WITH THE LIGHTS BEING OUT CONTINUOUSLY ONCE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN TRAFFIC. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT I JUST DISCOVERED THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE ALSO GOING OUT AT THE SAME TIME. INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE CAUSE IS A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER JUNCTION BOX (PJB). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND AN UNACCEPTABLE ENGINEERING FLAW WHICH APPEARS TO AFFECT OTHER DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE MODEL AS WELL. DUE TO PROHIBITIVE COST OF JSB REPLACEMENT AND UNCERTAINTY OF THE INTEGRITY OF THAT PART ITSELF, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO INSTALL A FAILSAFE INDEPENDENT WIRING SOLUTION FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ENSURE REQUIRED RELIABILITY |

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL |
AFTER TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A LOCAL ROAD,I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS DECELERATING DESPITE THE FACT I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR APPEARED TO BE STUCK IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR; I COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 40 MPH WITHOUT THE RPMS GOING TOO HIGH. THIS CAR HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TURNING OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL BY PRESSING ITS BUTTON, BUT THIS DID NOT WORK. I ALSO TRIED SWITCHING TO MANUAL MODE BUT COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO SHIFT OR THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO SHUTOFF. I FINALLY HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION TO ACT NORMALLY. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS POST A SIMILAR PROBLEM, THOUGH THEY WERE IN MUCH MORE SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTS - ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVING TO PULL ACROSS TRAFFIC AND RESTART THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS WEIRD TRANSMISSION-TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE. THIS CREATES FOR AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I AM PETRIFIED OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO. THIS IS SOMETHING MAZDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY. *TR |
