VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
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. I MANAGED TO GET MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV UP AND DOWN AS IF I WAS ABOUT TO START DRAG RACING EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON, THE REVVING HAD STOPPED. A SIMILAR, BUT BRIEFER INCIDENT HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE PLATE GLASS WINDOW OF A STORE. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK, THE ENGINE REVVED REPEATEDLY (VERY, VERY HIGH THAT TIME) AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED IN ENGINEERS AND COULD NEVER REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS UNLIKELY TO EVER OCCUR AGAIN. WELL NOW IT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED. I SEE THAT THE MAZDA TRIBUTE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. PEOPLE COMPLAIN ON THE INTERNET OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE MAZDA 6. PLEASE HELP!. *JB |

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING |
ON 17 FEB 2011 I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 MAZDA 6S AND WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED OF 25 MPH ALL MY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD TURNED ON AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO REDUCE SPEED ALMOST TO A STAND STILL. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN TIME TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTS OR POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND WAS ABLE TO PROCEED IN DRIVING. HOWEVER MY ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT SOMEONE WITH THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE AND YEAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE ALMOST VERBATIM. THE REFERENCED A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM MAZDA BULLETIN NO: 01-016/06 RELEASED IN 2006 REGARDING THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT. I READ THE BULLETIN AND SURE ENOUGH IT STATED TO INSPECT THE LETTERS ON THE THROTTLE BODY. IT SHOWED AA,AB,BA MARKINGS = NO GOOD AND BB MARKING = GOOD. SO I INSPECTED MY VEHICLES THROTTLE BODY LETTER AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS "AA". I WILL HAVE TO DEFINITELY REPLACE IT, AND OF COURSE I HAVE NO CHOICE BECAUSE YOU CAN IMAGINE THE RAMIFICATIONS OF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS WERE TO OCCUR. ACCIDENTS, OR EVEN DEATH. IT IS PRETTY UPSETTING THAT SOMETHING HAS NOT BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES ESPECIALLY WITH THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DEFECT! *TR |
