Driving normally, wrench light came on and lost the ability to accelerate with the gas pedal. Pulled to the shoulder, placed vehicle in park. By this time the vehicle was shaking hard. Turned the vehicle off, then restarted. Vehicle was fine, driving perfectly. This started happening intermittently about once a week but then grew more frequent to once a day. *tr

As I was driving on the interstate at 70mph I suddenly felt a tug and the speedometer began going down and I was not able to accelerate. The wrench came on. I pulled over and waited to be towed. I just called Mazda, the throttle body needs to be replaced. I was told this is not part of the power train warranty. The biggest issue, the part is on back order for a month. This indicates to me there are numerous issues with the throttle body. I am now down a car for a month, unacceptable. In researching online I have found others to have the same problem. I plan to contact Mazda as I feel this is something they can pay to replace. *tr

Incident occurred on 10/20/2012 at 7:00 pm in the fred meyer parking lot in klamath falls, oregon. Temperature out 40 degrees. Tailgate window shattered in parking lot on my 2010 Mazda tribute. I came out of fred meyer. I opened the tailgate to load a few items. I shut the tailgate and the back window exploded. Shattered glass flew over 10 feet in all directions, landed on my feet, fell into the back of the vehicle. Glass pieces were tiny shards that were very sharp. I had numerous cuts on my hands trying to pick up the large pieces. I had two dogs in the back of the vehicle that the glass had come in on them and they were standing on the pieces that covered the entire back interior. *tr

Hatch does not open consistently. Vehicle stalls then accelerates on its own, in addition, throttle body light stays on. Power windows fail to come up and down.

Everytime I fill the car up with gas it does this thing where I lose power when I stop or when I turn the wheel. So I have to stop and start the car. Its very dangerous because it has cut off while I was making a turn. We have tried to fix it several times. We replaced the fuel pump and that helped for a month or two but then it goes right back to cutting off after it is filled up with gas.

For the past 6 months my car will periodically loose power, I would be in the middle of a busy street, in stop and go traffic, or anywhere, and suddenly have no acceleration at all. It would then jerk very violently until I just shut it off. After 2 or 3 episodes, my car would be fine for several weeks, before happening again. Early on there were no dash lights that came on and the dealership could not identify any problem. After about 4 months there was finally an engine light and a code that indicated an issue with the electronic throttle body. But the dealership says they are still not sure what is wrong with my car, because they could not duplicate the problem. Now my car is out of warranty, and I am still having the same issue, however it is occurring more frequently, to the

The passenger's air bag light goes on and off when one 130 pound person seats on the seat. The dealership employee were rude and try to convince us that is 'normal depend how you seat..' (the weight limit to activate sensor, according to different dealership employees, was 60 pounds, 90 pounds, and 98.5 pounds ??? !!!). The car has been purchased as a new in one ontario's dealership and it is driven and registered in ontario (it is my wife's car). I think this is a serious safety issue and should be subject of a recall. *tr

While driving at low speed (less than 50 mph) truck experienced brake loss. Was able to slow down and have no accident. Towed truck to mechanic and the next day brakes worked fine. Took truck to both AAA and to Mazda dealership for repair and no one can duplicate the issue. No instrument lights came on and no code was given for additional information. It has been stated that ABS Master cylinder and brake booster have been tested as well as the relays and fuses. This isnt the first time this has happened but the pedal has never stayed as mushy or required to go to the ground as long as it had this time.

I closed the rear liftgate and the rear glass shattered everywhere. Nothing was in the back and nothing touched the glass, it just shattered nigh spontaneously. It was 21 degrees outside at the time. The vehicle had the rear wiper motor mounted to the glass like in the similar 2010 Ford escape and mercury mariner see http://www-odi.NHTSA.DOT.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/acm17844975/incla-pe11016-3909.pdf. The shards of glass resulted in cuts on my hands. *tr

Fuel fill neck diagnostic code po457 occurred and the check engine light came on which seemed to cause the vehicle to sputter, and to have loss of power while driving. Upon inspection there is nothing wrong with the part. Upon a google search other have had the same problem and it appears they recalled this same vehicle with the 3.0 engine (mine has the 2.5).
