“With no consistancey, the car would loose power. At times, I thought the car would loose full power, in the middle of my commute, I would be forced to pull over and shut the car off. Most times, the car would return to normal conditions. When I brought it in for repair, byers Mazda of columbus, told me it needed a tune-up. Once again, the car almost stalled out and I managed to coast into a parking space. …”

NHTSA complaint #11152568, filed 2018-11, 56,000 miles

“Driving through rain in our neighborhood and the car stalled and will not restart. Engine seize per dealer. We understand other Mazda's have been recalled due to this issue. We requested the car to be checked for a possible recall without success because our VIN does not fall in the recall. We offered to pay out of pocket for them to test it which they declined to do.”

NHTSA complaint #10779494, filed 2015-10, 36,000 miles

“For seemingly no reason, the vehicle will restart and stall while driving and multiple warning lights will illuminate. This has happened while driving slow, fast and while turning. When this happens, I need to immediately pull over and restart the engine. The check engine light turns on and indicates an abrupt voltage change issue, but soon turns off after a few power cycles. This started to happen more and more often, and more recently, I had the car not able to start as if the battery died. …”

“Upon turning on my car (flat surface, middle of the day, already driven that morning), I received an at failure notice, master warning light, scbs failure notice, and a check engine light. The car had been seen 5 days prior for a routine oil change and inspection. All marks were noted as green. The engine sounded fine, the shifting of the transmission smooth, and no issues were seen/felt/heard/noticed as of yet. The dealer refused to run a diagnostics test as it is a saturday.”
