MAZDA MAZDA3 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 03, 2012.MAZDA MAZDA3 2012, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with POWER TRAIN . driving home last night (on the freeway) at approximately 9:45 pm i attempted to accelerate to make a lane change. i noticed the car wasn't moving any faster the only thing i heard was the engine gunning. the car was slowing down in very fast traffic and i immediately put my hazards on while trying to move the gear shift which was stuck. its a miracle that i didn't get hit trying to get tnate to have it apoenhis vehicle over to the right shoulder which i eventually did. i removed a small cover beside the gear shift inserted a screwdriver in the hole and was able to release the shift. i put it in park, turned the car off for about a minute. started the car and shifted it to drive but the car jerked back and the gear shift is stuck again. i had to be towed home. this was a very dangerous and frightening situation for a male adult and would hate to have this happen to a single mother with children in the car. this is not the only time the gears have locked. i was fortunate to have it happen in my driveway and was able to unlock with the method i described above. i feel this really should be looked into. *js.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8300 miles.

Mazda Mazda3 2012 Engine Review #10469613

MAZDA MAZDA3 2012 car safety problem was reported on Feb 10, 2012.MAZDA MAZDA3 2012, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with ENGINE . the car sometimes surges during downshifting. i will be driving in moderate traffic in third gear. the traffic slows, and i let in the clutch and apply the brake. when the traffic starts to pick up again, i am going too slow for third, so i shift into second and let the clutch out. my right foot is just resting lightly on the gas pedal. the car has not been idling fast, but as soon as the clutch is engaged, the engine suddenly roars and the car leaps forward, even though i have not pressed the gas at all. i let in the clutch again to avoid an accident. when i let it out again, it works normally. this happens once, twice, or not at all in a 40-mile round trip out of town and back. it also happens frequently when i make a left turn without stopping, but where i need to slow and downshift. i coast into the turn with the clutch pedal in, shift down, and attempt to let the clutch out when coming out of the turn. i would expect the car to slow when i shift down unless i am pressing the accelerator, but something other than me is giving it gas. it is impossible to predict when this will happen, and it never happens twice in a row. i have made it happen on purpose, but i think that was pure luck. it happens when downshifting into any gear, but because of the heavy traffic in our area, it ends up usually being third to second. it has happened to me when downshifting into third or fourth also. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 200 miles.

MAZDA MAZDA3 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 22, 2012.MAZDA MAZDA3 2012, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . the vehicle will randomly and sporadically speed up and the rpms increase unexpectedly when the clutch is released after downshifting from 3rd to 2nd or 4th to 3rd. mostly from 3rd to 2nd. the vehicle really pulls forward and does not slow down when this is happening. instinct is to jump the brake, which slows the car, decreases the rpms and appears to stop the incident. this is a definite safety concern, especially with snowy, icy roads just around the corner. i have been unable to replicate this as it is sporadic. this has happened numerous times since first driving this vehicle june, 02, 2012. mileage,speed and date of occurrence entered are approximates as several incidents occurred prior to the start of documenting each one. the state and zip code entered in the address information is the closet one to me. i live in canada and have not been able to find a national site to formally lodge a complaint. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1200 miles.

MAZDA MAZDA3 2012 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2012.MAZDA MAZDA3 2012, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with ENGINE . my 2012 mazda 3 skyactiv hatchback with the 6 speed manual transmission is exhibiting unintended acceleration. the symptoms exhibited are consistent with multiple other reports in this system. after downshifting into 2nd or 3rd gear, or after coasting in one of those gears with the clutch disengaged, the engine revs and the car "surges" forward upon re-engagement of the clutch. when this occurs, the accelerator pedal is only being slightly pushed, but the car acts as if it has been pushed almost to the floor. depending on the position of the clutch pedal when this occurs, the engine will either rev to 3000 to 4000 rpm, or the car will accelerate forward until either the brake or clutch pedal is pressed. this issue has been confirmed by mazda after multiple trips to the dealership for service. upon the last visit, a data recorder was installed and recorded 7 specific unintended acceleration events between the dates of 11/13/12 and 11/20/12. according to an email i received from the district service & parts manager for district 2 of mazda north america operations (mnao) on 12/23/12, "the concern found on the data recordings taken from your vehicle were found to be a pcm calibration issue. mazda corporation is working on a new calibration for the pcm with an unknown time of completion." when i requested that my vehicle be replaced with another of the same model, this was the response from the same district service & parts manager: "since the calibration of the pcm is the same on a 2013 like model with a manual transmission it would not be advised to trade you into that vehicle as it could potentially exhibit the same concern depending on your driving habits and conditions." i am currently awaiting a response from mnao's mediation department regarding either replacing my car with another model, or buying back the car from me. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1000 miles.

MAZDA MAZDA3 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 22, 2013.MAZDA MAZDA3 2012, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . date & mileage approximate. i was driving 35mph and sped up to merge 1 lane to my right so i wouldn't miss my turn. i sped up, maybe to 40 and the traction control light went on and there was no acceleration at that point. i am glad i didn't get rear ended but did get flipped off for cutting someone off and slowing down. i made my turn and hit the traction control button but it stayed lit. i have an automatic with the manual option, i tried driving manually,the light didn't go off. i then pulled over tried the traction button again, it stayed lit. the weather condition was warm and nice out. i turned the car off for a few minutes, started it, light was off and it drove fine. if this happened and the driver behind me hadn't paid attention i would have been hit! i don't want to think about having to cross a street where the oncoming car had right of way and my car didn't accelerate. on another note i have had my car unlock itself 3 times, when i know it was locked with the fob. the fob is not damaged in any way. twice in same location weeks apart. it was locked, beeped the lights flashed.my keys were set down untouched after that, not in my pocket moving around but on the counter. first time i thought i must have forgotten; my car got ransacked. second time i knew i locked it, i told myself maybe the cat stepped perfectly on the key fob, on just the unlock button that night. my car got ransacked again but to their surprise nothing was in the car as everything was stolen the first #@#& time! the third time i had a witness watch me lock the car with the fob and i even checked all the handles-locked. we left the restaurant, again unlocked. i cant leave anything in my car because i fear it may happen again.. i wonder if someone's key fob is on the same frequency and strangers are unlocking it? im going to the dealership in a few days. im afraid to drive and park my car. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8500 miles.

MAZDA MAZDA3 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 13, 2014.MAZDA MAZDA3 2012, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY . while traveling approximately 35 - 40 mph (accelerating) on a long winding wooded rural interstate onramp, no other vehicle traffic nearby, the sunroof (closed at the time) literally buckled upward and exploded outward. it was very loud like a shotgun. at the time it happened, it gave both myself and my daughter the impression that someone had fired a gun at us and we did not stop until we reached the next exit. we were very rattled by the incident. there was definitely no previous damage to the glass and no rock or other foreign object involved. the glass that was expelled flew up and out behind the vehicle except for some glass pieces that stayed on the roof and the trunk. very little of the approximately 8"x10" section of missing glass fell in the tray beneath. if this had happened while we were in heavy traffic at higher speeds, or even if my teenage daughter had been driving at the time, i'm not sure it wouldn't have caused a serious accident. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 33000 miles.

MAZDA MAZDA3 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 29, 2014.MAZDA MAZDA3 2012, manufactured by Mazda Motor Corp. had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . i was driving on a city street, stopped for a red light, then when i tried to accelerate it was really slow. i looked at the dash and saw the tcs/dsc light was illuminated. as i continued driving the acceleration continued to be really slow and wouldn't go above 2000 rpms, top speed was 40mph. i limped home like this with my hazards on, parked for an hour or so, then started the car again to see if the light was still on it had gone off so i drove around the block and it ran perfectly fine. i called the local dealership to see if i should bring it in and was told it would be a waste of time if the light is not currently on and it's running fine. when i asked if he had heard of this happening with the 2012 mazda 3 skyactiv he said a few times. that along with reading on this site that there are several other similar complaints tells me this is not an isolated issue. i'm just glad i wasn't on the freeway with my baby in the car. that would have been very dangerous. i'm sure mazda doesn't want to wait until someone is injured or killed before they do something about this, right? *js.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30000 miles.
