Complaint
2010
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 2 OCCASIONS I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, FOR A RED LIGHT AND STOP SIGN, WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED ON ITS OWN AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. FELT LIKE I WAS PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL THROUGH THE FLOOR TO STOP IT BUT IT RECOVERED ON ITS OWN AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS. VERY SCARY. I AM AFRAID OF HITTING A CAR OR SOMEONE. AT THE MAZDA DEALER NOW AND HAS BEEN FOR A WEEK AS THEY TRY TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR
2012
VEHICLE SPEED 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
