ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS CAR HAS REFUSED TO START. THE "FIX" WAS DONE BY MAZDA OVER THE PAST SUMMER DUE TO A CORROSION PROBLEM WITH THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE STARTER. THIS TIME IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE GETTING STUCK IN FREEZING WEATHER, ICY CONDITIONS, OR A BAD PART OF TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. MAZDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND OUTLINES IT IN A SERVICE BULLETIN 01-037/08. SHOULD WOMEN OR CHILDREN, OR ANYONE ELSE BE STRANDED AND HARMED IN ANY WAY BY THIS KNOWN DEFECT, I HOPE MAZDA IS LIABLE FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY (ABOUT 20 MPH) AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE OR SHIFT NORMALLY. INSTEAD, THE CAR STAYED IN LOW GEAR, AND THE RPM REACHED OVER 4000. AT THIS POINT, I NOTICED. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WAS STAYING ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR'S STABILITY CONTROL. ONCE I REACHED A PLACE I COULD STOP, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED - THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO HAVE GONE AWAY - NO MORE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AND NO MORE WEIRD ENGINE SPEEDS/FAILURE TO SHIFT GEARS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT BOTH ON THE NHTSA SITE AND ON MAZDA FORUM WEBSITES. I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM IS WARRANTED, AS IT REPRESENTS A DEFINITE SAFETY RISK, AFFECTING THE CAR'S ABILITY TO ACCELERATE APPROPRIATELY. *TR
