Mazda Mazda5 2006 Vehicle Speed ControlMazda Mazda5 2006 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10294003 MAZDA MAZDA5 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 14, 2009.MAZDA MAZDA5 2006, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . while driving, the vehicle would suddenly stall. it happened at low speeds up to speeds near 50mph. everything would be fine, but then it was like there was a stumble and the engine would shift to idle, causing the vehicle to a stop. the engine would not cut out, but would only idle. if we turned the car off, waited a minute, then restarted the car, it would drive fine (until the problem repeated itself at another random time). the dealer made several attempts to repair. they first changed the throttle body, but then it happened again to us within 30 minutes of the repair. they next changed the accel pedal, but it again happened as we pulled out of the dealer across traffic leaving us vulnerable to a severe accident. finally, they replaced a ground wire for the accel pedal and the problem "seems" to be resolved. i say "seems" because the car does not drive like it did before the problems started. there still seems to be a stumble, but no stalling. since the car does not stall, we are not taking it back to the dealership, but we get very nervous each time we feel a slight stumble. this problem seems similar to the "drive-by-wire" problems experienced by toyota drivers and has potential for a severe accident, so i thought it was worthy of reporting. *tr.Mileage was 52000 miles.

Mazda Mazda5 2006 Reports
My 2001 626 transmission slips slightly when first put it into drive from park then bucks. After it engages it shifts fine I have a 1998 Mazda Protege LX Touring Edition (4dr) and need to install a rear-facing infant car seat (with base) in the back seat, preferably center position. Because I purchased my Mazda used, I do not have the Owner's Manual. I was told th question is whiseling noise when take off Sorry the question is for Tribute 2010 for whiseling noise when taking off Today I backed up in a narrow parking lot and as I put my 2009 Mazda 6 in drive and with my foot still on the brake the car accelrated unexpectedly over about 10 feet and into a building, the engine revving and smoking as I put it in neutral and t mazda3 2007 radio fuse location my alt light came on and stayed so i disconnected the battery to see if the car would sat running and now both headlaights burnt out the tach is in op no and the air bag lamp stays on all the time what happened? 94 mazda 626 air bag ligt stays on after alt burnt out what is the problem I REALLY THINK I HAVE THE ANSWER, I HOPE. I have an 2002 Mazda tribute it stalls especially in hot weather. The manual says very little, but it said it may be a vapor lock. My car was parked inside a humid garage so when it stalls on me seas Another really difficult thing to diagnose was the engine light, and warning bell sounding off for a yr. the dealer ship misdiagnosed the problem. Charged me for a diagnostic test they did not do. They sold me a battery, and sent me down the r I can't find my Satellitte Radio Number, it appeared originally on my NAV Screen when I would depress the SAT button. It no longer appears. I don't know if that's a malfunction. i have a 2002 millenia , would a 1998 automtic transmission work for car, denny.koch@insightbb.com
