Mazda Mazda3 Unknown Or Other Safety Report | Sept 17, 2013
Reported on Sept 17, 2013
| I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. ONCE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR REVVED TO 3000 RPM BUT WAS BARELY MOVING AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I LOOKED AT MY SPEED AND NOTICED THE TCS PROBLEM LIGHT WAS ON. BY THIS TIME OTHER MOTORISTS WERE HONKING AT ME AT CURSING I'M SURE BUT I COULDN'T GET ANY SPEED TO PULL OVER QUICKLY. I PUT THE CAR IN MANUAL MODE, BUT THERE WERE NO NUMBERS THAT INDICATED WHAT GEAR I WAS IN. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THE TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND PRETTY MUCH DISABLED MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A MALL PARKING LOT WHERE I TURNED CAR OFF AND CALLED FOR HELP. HOWEVER, WHEN HELP ARRIVED, AND WE STARTED THE CAR BACK UP, THE TCS LIGHT WAS OFF AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. I DROVE THE CAR HOME. AFTER READING THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT AS I HAVE, I WILL MAKE SURE MAZDA WILL HAVE A LOOK AT MY CAR AND MAKE THEM AWARE THERE IS AN ISSUE. | |
