Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was on I-75 when I accelerated hard while trying to merge into a gap in heavy, merging traffic. When I took my foot off the accelerator my van continued to accelerate as the engine continued to rev at a high RPM. I stabbed at the accelerator with my foot to see if I could unstick it, but it only caused the engine to rev even higher - to full-throttle. I jabbed at it multiple times to no avail. I tried to lift the gas pedal with my foot by jamming it underneath the pedal and pulling it up, but it floated freely and continued to fall back to its full-throttle position. …”
NHTSA complaint #10468926, filed 2012-08, 146,000 miles“Accelerator (gas pedal) stock open when pedal pressed for acceleration onto interstate highway. Vehicle accelerated to very high speed. Pressing brake slowed vehicle to 55 MPH. Shifted to neutral, heard a low pop and accelerator mechanism disengaged.”
NHTSA complaint #10811389, filed 2015-12, 161,000 miles“Car is running fine, and then engine stops. After setting for a minute or so, engine will start again and run fine for days ...then the above recurs. Replaced idle control valve...no more trouble.”
NHTSA complaint #10295816, filed 2009-12, 64,000 miles“Mazda 2004 MPV with just under 68,000 miles has 3 fuel injectors(cel) replaced by local mechanic- 2 weeks later jerky misfires with cel required #5 coil replaced by dealership, less than a month later #4 coil replaced by local mechanic in town we were vacationing in-no cel, now same jerky misfires starting again a month after last replacement. Recent forum entries seem to indicate a growing problem of this type for 2004 MPV. Except for towing charges, expensive repairs, and inconvenience- no injuries.”
