Example complaints

“While driving on a major highway at 60 miles per hour the tcs light came on and the car completely lost power. It had to be restarted in neutral while driving in the lane of traffic causing cars behind us to switch lanes to avoid hitting us. This occurred four times in a thirty five minute drive to our destination. This is not the first incident and yes, only approximately 5 weeks ago I brought my car in for service at the dealership (joyce Mazda in new jersey ) to have this corrected and spent nine hundred dollars to have this fixed (apparantl, it was not fixed). …”
