| Tires cupping and wearing quickly on inside of both tires in the same manner. research and discussion with mechanics indicate the issue is likely due to camber. camber is within manufacturer specifications, but causes extremely rapid tire wear. | |||

| I stopped at a stop sign and my car started accelerating as if the accelerator was fully depressed. my foot was squarely on the brake at the time but i was being pulled slowly forward on to a busy roadway. i am an experienced driver and was able to turn the car sharply to the right along the shoulder to avoid oncoming traffic. i shifted into park, and then shut the engine off. my foot placement was no where near the accelerator, and there were no other obstructions (i.e. carpets). when i restarted the car the engine sounded normal. as an engineer, i am fairly certain that what ever happened was electronic in nature, not a mechanical obstruction or sticking linkage (i did not touch the gas pedal when i restarted). prior to this incident i had been driving slow though a business park at 10 to 15 miles and hour for a couple of minutes, i was at a doctor appointment. i have not seen this issue before or since. mazda has examined the car and did not see anything. i like the car, but i thought it was important to get this potentially dangerous flaw on record. | |||
