| I have been to the dealership twice. i had it towed one of the times. the truck has been stalling out on me when i have been driving down the road. the dealership (sullivan watts mazda) has said there is nothing wrong, and to have it towed back in the next time i have the problem. my truck did stall one last time while i was trying to stop at a red light. when the truck stalled i lost brake pressure and power steering and rear ended a car, totaling it. causing $4,800 damage to my truck.*jb | |||

| Transmission will not shift into overdrive until speeds of 58-60 are reached - when accelerating. took vehicle to dealer for the complaint. dealer tech said vehicle would not shift during 'agressive accelerating' . driver must ease up on gas pedal before transmission would shift to overdrive. said this was normal. never heard of an automatic transmission with such requirements. none that i have ever owned required an easing up on gas in order to shift. when i followed dealers instructions, vehicle will still not shift until it has been driven for some period of time. under such conditions, i can't get into overdrive for the trips i take, so the overdrive does me no good. vehicle gets very poor mileage as a relult. don't think this is a normal condition. i only have less than 2000 miles (since oct 2002) because of such driving conditions and poor mileage.*ak | |||

| On several occasions, my mazda truck b300 v6 model has locked up on its brakes. the vehicle comes equipped with an abs (four-wheen anti-lock system) which prevents it from locking up during driving conditions. however, on four varied situations in location, weather conditions and mileage apart 20,000, 30,000-35,000, 40,000 (considering three of them was before i hit 50k and then after getting my 60k service matienance)61k, my front end tires locked up while merging onto a highway; turning leftu nderneath an underpass; proceedin forward on a major road in houston, tx; and while just making a normal turn, not a sharp turn, but turning into a neighborhood, austin, tx. i in all occassions have had my foot firmly applied to the brakes and stilli lost control of the steering, with both my hands on the wheel, and had to turn the truck off after managing not to hit the car directly to my left on at least three reoccurrences. all under rainy or wet conditions where the road was level, normal, congested, or going downward on a smooth slope in elevation. i mentioned it to the dealership twice and was told that, that lost of traction was due to elevation of the truck and pressing the gas while i turned left. on the past three occassions i did not have my foot on the gas turning, ever while turning. i like my truck, but i could've had caused some major car wrecks due to some malfunctioning. *ak | |||
