2016 Mazda MAZDA6 Vehicle speed control Problems

“I was braking to a stop after decellerating, driving originally about 45 MPH. Traffic was stopped in front of me. I was in motion on a highway, going straight ahead. My car slowed but resisted stopping. I pressed on the brake pedal harder until I came to a complete stop. My right foot was entirely on the brake, as I only use my right foot to operate the pedals. The engine was revving like it was accellerating. The car was in drive. No warning lights came on the dash. The engine continued to rev higher in intensity. I put the car into park, and the engine revved much higher. …”

“I was about to park the car in a parking spot in a mall. It was crawling speed and almost about to stop. Then the car suddenly surged forward and went over the curb on to the other side. Thankfully there was no other vehicle or person on the other side. I was holding tight the steering wheel. My husband pulled the electronic parking break button and the car finally came to a stop. Tires were burst on running over and there was damage to front left side of car. I believe this could be an issue of unintended acceleration.”

“The vehicle exhibits dangerous electronic malfunctions. A licensed technician (MV-113255) has confirmed a sporadic unintended acceleration defect where the cruise control 'decrease' button causes the vehicle to increase speed. Additionally, the vehicle repeatedly enters 'Limp Mode' in active traffic, causing a violent jerk and a total loss of acceleration while displaying a 'Smart City Brake Support' (SCBS) failure on the dashboard. …”

“The contact owns a 2016 Mazda MAZDA6. The contact stated that the cruise control would not cease to function and when attempting to disengage it the vehicle would increase in speed. The failure occurred without warning. The failure occurred six times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the cruise control buttons needed to replaced. The vehicle was repaired however the failure recurred. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.”

“When driving, after a period of 10 - 20 minutes usually, of the adaptive cruise being on (not necessarily in use), the buttons on the steering wheel will re-map. That is, the + button for adjusting the cruise speed up by 1 mph increments will switch with the - button that adjusts the cruise speed down by 1 mph increments. This happens reliably... if I've driven the car with adaptive cruise on for more that 10 - 20 minutes, the buttons will re-map. + slows the car down or doesn't work at all (does nothing). - speeds the car up. Also, rarely, the cancel button will speed the car up. …”
