I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND OF A SUDDEN I COULDN'T TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. I GOT IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THE POWER STEERING. THEY REPLACED THE TORQGUE SENSOR. THEN MY NEXT PROBLEM WAS MY GAS PEDAL SOMETIMES JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE FAST LANE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON I TURNED IT OFF. THEN I TRIED TO PUSH MY GAS PEDAL IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE SO I HAD TO HURRY UP AND PULL ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE CARS WHERE BEHIND ME. IT EVENTUALLY JUST STARTED BACK AND ANOTHER TIME IT WAS 3 AM AND I WAS DRIVING ON A BACK ROAD. I PUSHED MY GAS PEDAL BUT IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE SO I STARTED HITTING IT AS HARD AS I COULD. IT STILL WASN'T WORKING SO I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK. I JUST KEPT ON PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL AND AFTER 15 MINS IT STARTED BACK WORKING. I TOOK MY TUCK TO ANOTHER MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE THROTTLE CABLE AND RETAINER. A MONTH LATER I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I WAS TURNING ON TO A HIGHWAY RAMP AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. SINCE I WAS TURNING I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST SO I HAD TO JUST LET MY TRUCK ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY UNTIL IT STARTED BACK WORKING. I CALLED MAZADA TO SEE IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE GAS PEDAL. THEY SAID NO BUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING BUT IT ENDED SEPT. 2015. TODAY WAS MARCH 21,2016 I'M JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT IT, AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL ABOUT IT. THEY REALLY NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THE GAS PEDAL I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I'M SO SCARED I'M GOING TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT.
