I WAS READING THIS COMPLAINT SECTION AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES I WAS HAVING. I OWN A 2005 MAZDA6 SEDAN SPORT -- IT HAS DIED THREE TIMES ON ME, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONCE AT A STOP SIGN, AGAIN AT A METERING LIGHT ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IN SAN FRANCISCO. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL THREE INCIDENTS AND HAVE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY NEVER REALLY FOUND ANYTHING "WRONG" -- BUT OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG IF MY BRAND NEW CAR DIES. THIS WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER AND IT'S BEEN FINE EVER SINCE (IT'S APRIL NOW), BUT I STILL HAVE SOME SORT OF ANXIETY WHEN DRIVING - NOT KNOWING IF I WILL REACH MY DESTINATION OR NOT. *JB

AFTER A MODEST ACCELERATION TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC, I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY DUE TO A LIGHT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO REV UP TO 1500 AND BACK DOWN OVER AND OVER. I HAD TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY WHERE IT CONTINUED TO REV AND DIE DOWN, REGARDLESS IF I WAS IN A GEAR OR PARK. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR TWO DAYS. I PLAN ON TAKING TO THE DEALER. IT IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD, I BOUGHT IT NEW. *NM

I OWN A 2005 MAZDA 6 I SEDAN. AFTER OWNING MY CAR FOR 7 MONTHS IT HAS TURNED OFF 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ONCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS AT A STOP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM EXAMINED AND NO PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND. MY CAR HAS RECEIVED ALL OF THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. YET THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. WHEN THE CAR STALLS IT USUALLY STARTS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY HOWEVER I DON'T THINK A NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED SHE NOTICED THERE WAS A BUBBLE THE SIZE OF AN ORANGE ALONG THE SIDEWALL OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. SHE REMOVED THE TIRE AND REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE TIRE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHE DISCOVERED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD A BUBBLE THE SIZE OF AN EGG IN THE SIDEWALL AS WELL. SHE CONTACTED THE DEALER, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THIS WAS MOST LIKELY DUE TO A ROAD HAZARD. SHE CONTACTED A TIRE DEALER, WHO ALSO STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A ROAD HAZARD. BOTH TIRES WERE REPLACED. *AK UPDATED 3/9/2006 - *NM
