FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
10/10/2011	4000
	I have had an ongoing issue since i purchased my mazda 6 2011, if i slow down or stop for a traffic light and then try to accelerate the gas pedal is to the floor and the car doesn't move, then out of nowhere it will accelerate. i was told the voltage in the gas pedal censor and the censor in the engine were not the same voltage, both were replaced but i still continue to have problems and the dealership cannot find out what the problem is. my car has been back in to mazda 3 times but no solution, as this is extremely dangerous in heavy traffic i wish someone could figure this out before i get into a serious accident.

	Fuel overflowed during a routine fuel fill up at a national gas chain in the philadelphia area. gas continued to spew out uncontrollably until the pump was manually shut off by hand.

	Car is new, less than one month since purchase. issue has occurred with every fill-up. when filling up with gas, as soon as or near tank is full, gas spews out of tank. took to mazda dealer on 11/19/2011 and they cannot find what the cause is. seems like a highly dangerous problem to have gas shooting from the tank. also, it could be a faulty valve that may malfunction in the case of a rollover, creating a highly combustible situation.
PARKING BRAKE

	Parked vehicle on friday and engaged the emergency brake on vehicle. went to leave for work on monday in a.m. and when started to give vehicle gas, the vehicle was hesitant and then jerked forward making a loud chunk noise. as i drove down road, approximately 2 driveways, there was a wobbling noise coming from the rear of vehicle. i immediately stopped because it sounded as if a wheel was loose. i did a walk around the vehicle and could see something not quite right on the right rear brake rotor (4 wheel disc brakes on vehicle). upon further inspection, i noted that there was a piece of what appeared to be my brake pad melted to the rotor. i did not drive vehicle further but contacted local mazda dealership. i arranged vehicle tow to crossroads mazda in prince george va. upon inspection by their technician, they found that my emergency brake cable was locked up and this is what caused the problems. my brake pad on the right rear rotor had disintegrated and large chunks were completely missing. crossroads arranged warranty repairs to replace my rear brake pads and emergency brake cable in the vehicle and to clean the right rear rotor. since these repairs, the vehicle seems to be driving better than it ever did. crossroads employees were super great to deal with and i felt took good care of me. on several times prior to this incident, i had commented on the smell coming from under my vehicle when driven for some time. obviously emergency brake had been locked up for some time. *tr
