ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING ON A CURVY ROAD AT AROUND 40 MPH MY TRIBUTE SUDDENLY STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS RESULTED IN A HARD STOP IN THE ONCOMING LANE, WHICH WAS FORTUNATELY NOT OCCUPIED BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THE CAR RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY WITH NO HESISTATION AND I TRAVELLED HOME 5 MILES WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AS I LIVE ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN AND MUST DRIVE CURVY ROADS TO WORK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CLOSED THIS WEEKEND AND I WILL CONTACT THEM IMMEDIATELY MONDAY MORNING. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
DESCENDING AN OVER WATER BRIDGE AT 35MPH WHEN ENGINE DIED WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE ROAD SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PUT VEHICLE BACK AND PARK AND RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. NO RECURRENCE YET. DUE TO BE SEEN AT DEALER ON 23 MAY 02. RESEARCH OF YOUR DATA BASE SHOWS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURENCE. NO FATALITIES YET BUT ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. CAN SEE NO EVIDENCE IN DATA BASE THAT MAZDA HAS IDENTIFIED A CAUSE OR A FIX.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL AT ABOUT 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. POWER STEERING FROZE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER, WHERE SOME KIND OF COMPUTER WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MAZDA HAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, ONLY A CHECKLIST OF THINGS THAT THEY TRY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NOT SOME KIND OF IMMEDIATE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT! SHORT OF A FIRE, MAJOR STRUCTURAL FAILURE, OR TIRE BLOWOUT, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING MORE DANGEROUS, OR I SHOULD SAY EQUALLY DANGEROUS, THAN TO BE SUDDENLY LEFT WITHOUT ANY POWER OR ABILITY TO STEER. WITH TRAFFIC, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OR CURVE ROADS (WHICH A BOUND MOUNTAINS HOME STATE), THIS IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TS *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS***761982
