| The car unexpectedly accelerated with my foot of of the gas pedal. i was driving around a curb at about 20 mph and all of sudden it increased to 40 mphs, and the rpm needle jumped up and down, and finally it got stuck at 3rps. i was on a flat surface and the vehicle continued to accelerate and make loud engine sounds. i tired to brake but the car continued to accelerate, i kept driving until i was able to let other cars pass, and pull over and put it in neutral. in neutral the car still accelerated, and made noises, that i then put it in parked. however in park the rpm was still stuck at 3 and the mph needle bounce between 0-40 mph. finally after a minute the needle drop to 0 mph, and i turned the car off and restarted it. after waiting 5 minutes i restarted the car and it acted like nothing ever happen. the next day after driving 15 minutes it repeated the same activity. i have contacted my dealership and set up an appointment. apparently this is a common problem with mazda between 03-05 with acceleration issues. however the is very dangerous, for me and my children and other drivers on the road. this could cause a accident or even death. this is something mazda needs to take seriously and needs to recall and repair to correct the problem. | |||
