| 2007 mazda5 with automatic transmission stalls ocassionally when accelerating from a stop at traffic lights. happens most often when starting on an uphill grade. dealership was unable to observe the problem and therefore unable to fix it. in addition, the engine intermittenly loses power for about 1 second while driving at approximately 20 mph. this happens about 4-5 time per week, never more than once on the same day. it usually happens within the first 1/2 mile of driving the car. the dealership was also unable to observe this problem or fix it. i expressed my concern to the dealership and to mazda customer assistance that stalling while pulling into traffic could be a life threatening occurrence, but they insisted that nothing could be done until the problem worsens to the point where a mechanic can observe it. the fact that many others have mentioned the same problem on online user forums did not seem to make a difference. i do not feel safe driving this otherwise wonderful vehicle. | |||

| I purchased a 2007 mazda 5. this is a decent car but at colder temperatures the vehicle will stall and shutter about 1-3 minutes after start up. the colder it gets and the more miles that the car gets on it the more often this occurs. the dealership told me that this is a common issue and that mazda has told them to flash again the computer. that was done and did not fix the issue. it is very dangerous if i pull out in traffic and this vehicle fails i am hauling myself and my husband and 4 kids that is going to be something that is mazda's fault for not remedying the situation. this now occurs after driving and coming to a slow or a stop. also when the temperatures are from 35-40 degrees the front right wheel makes an awful noise sometimes squeaking and then sometimes a grinding noise. the dealership informed me that it is heavy, and excessive grease in the ball joint. now that the temperature is warmer you cannot hear this anymore. the vehicle has 13,000 miles and while driving on the interstate at 60-65 mph and you put on the brakes the steering wheel shakes and acts as if the brakes are warped. when the temperature is hot outside the a/c works poorly with a temp out of the vents at 47 degrees. when stopping at a drive through resturant or at the bank the smell of burning antifreeze is very noticable. there is no visable leaks but the smell of antifreeze is evident. this is a poor designed, overpriced, not advertised vehicle that mazda should work out the bugs in, or give the money back to the customers. this car has been in the shop 7 times since new for these issues that mazda said they dont know how to fix yet. i have given them time and the opportunity now my lemon law will be running out and i dont want stuck with a lemon. *ak | |||
