Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Occasionally (4 times now) when stopping or starting out (foot on brake,car in drive) the accelerator races full throttle, like I stomped on accelerator, for a few seconds. I have to press on the brake full force and/or put it in neutral. Scarey!!! Called dealer, but was told they were not aware of any problems. No offer to check it out. Emailed mazdausa on jan2 but no response other than automated response showing they received my email. Took it to repair shop to check for codes - no codes.”
NHTSA complaint #10943739, filed 2017-01, 127,000 miles“Gas pedal is too close to the brake pedal. I often have accelerated depressing the wrong pedal due to the extreme close proximity. While pulling up to the garage hit the gas pedal instead of the breaks and caused both vehicle and garage damage. I have thought to complain about this many times. The front end of the vehicle was damaged and the garage masonry has bricks and block work damage. Two of my wheels have been warped. I have only a medium foot size 10. This is dangerous for anyone.”
NHTSA complaint #10653224, filed 2014-11, 120,000 miles“This model of Mazda steering wheel stop rotating mostly on highway. At time it become too stiff to ove for 5 to 10 minutes and then it comes back on it is worrying me as it may cause an unvoidable crash.”
