“I bought my Mazda 2 new from ricart Mazda, and take it there for service. As I drive at a steady speed, the traction control lamp and engine lamps light and stays lit. When this happens, I cannot accelerate. The car idles higher, just less than 2000 rpms. I must turn off the ignition and restart the engine. Once restarted, the traction control lamp is no longer lit, but the engine lamp remains lit. The car then responds normally. I have taken it to the dealer twice, they say the engine code is p2299. The dealer (ricart) states they cannot duplicate the problem. …”
