WHILE ACCELERATING ON 2 OCCASIONS IN PAST 2 MONTHS, THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. THE FIRST TIME OCCURED WHILE PULLING OUT ON A ROAD AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION AND THE SECOND TIME WAS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WHILE PASSING A VEHICLE AND HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. IT WILL WORK NORMALLY AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE AND IT CLEARS THE LIGHTS. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MAZDA DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND THEY SAID IT WAS A CRACKED SPARK PLUG AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM JUST HAPPENED AGAIN.. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN!

THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 - 15 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THIS CAR. IT OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, STUCK IN TRAFFIC, OR ANY OTHER TIME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE AND THE BRAKE IS USED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STATIONARY. THE ENGINE WILL BE TURNING AT IDLE SPEED WHEN SUDDENLY IT REVS TO 4-5K RPM CAUSING THE CAR TO LEAP FORWARD, OVERPOWERING THE BRAKE. THIS HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN A CRASH SEVERAL TIMES AS SUDDENLY THE CAR MOVES FORWARD RAPIDLY. I HAVE NOTICED A SMALL TENDENCY FOR THIS TO OCCUR IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ANYTIME. I HAVE SEEN NO CORRELATION TO OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. I HAVE NOTICED PERHAPS A SMALL INCREASE IN FREQUENCY WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AFTER HIGH SPEED DRIVING SUCH AS HIGHWAY DRIVING. *TR
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Mazda6 and 2014-2016 Mazda3 vehicles. Water could possibly enter the brake caliper causing the parking brake actuator shaft to corrode and possibly bind.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the parking brake actuator shaft binds, the parking brake may not engage or disengage fully. If the parking brake does not engage properly, the vehicle may move unexpectedly if it is parked on a slope, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will check the parking brake actuator shafts, replacing any that are corroded, free of charge. Remedy parts are currently unavailable. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed August 24, 2017. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 1217F.
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured October 25, 2012, to October 10, 2014. If the pressures of four of the tires on an affected vehicle gradually drop at the same time, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may not warn the driver of the drop in pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A vehicle that is driven with under inflated tires may experience a sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500.
Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured October 25, 2012, through May 9, 2013. In the affected vehicles, it is possible to fill the fuel tank beyond its rated capacity.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the tank is overfilled, gas may flow into the charcoal canister (an evaporative emissions component) and possibly leak from the canister's external vent, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Mazda will notify owners and dealers will inspect and add an adapter to the shut off valve in the fuel tank and also inspect the charcoal canister for the presence of gasoline, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 19, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 7414D.
Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014 Mazda3 vehicles manufactured June 12, 2013, through December 18, 2013, and model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured May 20, 2013, through December 4, 2013, and both equipped with a 2.5L engine and a regenerative engine braking system. When driving the affected vehicles in heavy rain or in deep puddles, the alternator belt may slip causing the Power Control module (PCM) to incorrectly assume failure of the charging system.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Once the PCM assumes that the charging system has failed, the vehicle will stop charging and could result in poor acceleration, loss of steering assist and windshield wiper operation, and a possible engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the PCM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on May 19, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 7314D.
