Was driving when car shut down for a second and traction control, tire light and check engine light came on. I had no power and the rear tires were not spinning. I put the car in park and shut it off. I started it back up and only the tire light and engine light were on and I had power. I was able to drive another 30 miles before having the same problem.

I was driving my mazda 2013 cx-5 on the highway, when it suddenly lost power and would not accelerate. I pressed the the accelerated all the way to the floor and my vehicle would not accelerate. The engine light, low tire, and traction symbols all were lid up on the dashboard. I drove the vehicle back home at 20 MPH as this is the maximum top speed the vehicle would accelerate. I will check to see if there is a recall for this safety issue that can be life threatening.

My car had an engine light after driving it for 43k mile. Took it to my local mazda dealer and found out it has code p011a which required the coolant sensors replacement. Had the work done which cost me about $600 but the engine light came back with the same error code. After speaking with their top level technician and management team it turn out the heater core was the main issue it was a missed diagnostic. So now the heater core is required which will cost me another $1800 to get it fix. If the heater core is not replaced the engine can over heat and also if the heater is turned up, it can slowly cook or suffocate the driver and passengers. With the safety concerns in mind I did some research and found out there are others reporting similar issue with seem to indicate the heater core might be a design flaw or defect from the start which require a replacement every 50k mile.

The engine is refusing to turn off when I hit the off button and it is in the park position. It takes up to 5-6 times to get the engine to shut down by restarting it, playing with the gears and finally shutting down. This could be a sensor problem. I just had the check engine light fixed as it wouldn't turn off either.

The traction light automatically kicks on even if there is no bad weather. The lights flash on and the car becomes sluggish as if the traction is on. I have to pull over to turn the car off and restart. The engine light stays on for a least 24 hours. This has happened at least 5 times. Last time it happened 12/14/2017 and happened on highway and I couldn't do anything until I got off the highway.

On 2 separate occasions (5/27/2017 and 6/15/2017) while on the freeway while in stop & go traffic, my vehicle suddenly seemed to lose power, and unable to go more than 20 MPH. The tire pressure, traction control, emergency light comes on. Both times I have safely been able to make it to the shoulder. The first time, I had my car towed to auto repair shop. Their $300 diagnosis reported nothing wrong with the car. The second time, I turned my car off & on again on the shoulder. The check engine light stayed on and I and was able to drive to my destination. The check engine is now back off, but I have dropped it off at the same auto repair shop, and they are replacing an air flow sensor in hopes that this resolves the problem. This will cost us another $300. Both times I had my 18 month old in my car. I am deeply concerned.
