ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
THE ELECTRICAL MODULE FAILED (COMPUTER) CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN, WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVER UNDER WARRENTY BECAUSE SOMETHING HAD SPILLED INTO IT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
WEDNESDAY JUNE 15TH I PICKED UP MY MAZDA AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE EXAXT SYMPTOMS OCCURRED AGAIN. THE CAR WAS JERKING AND SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM 70MPH TO 35MPH. THE CAR IN BACK OF ME SCREECHED ALMOST REAR ENDING ME. I DROVE BACK TO MY MECHANIC WITH MY FLASHERS ON ALL THE WAY. HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS MAY POSSIBLY BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND COULD AGAIN DESTROY THE NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS BESIDE MYSELF. MAZDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I FIRST HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THEM AND THEY ALSO SAID NOTHING OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM ONLY THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY REVIEWED MY CASE, AS NOW I AM SURE I WAS NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINING OF THIS VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE,BECAUSE AFTER CONTACTING YOU AND VIEWING OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN YOUR CONSUMER COMPLAINT SECTION, I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. I AM HOPING THAT THERE MIGHT BE AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. SALLY JOHNSTON. *AK
