Had 30000 mile service done prior to a 1000 mile one way vacation trip. After arriving at our destination washed car at coin car wash. Drove car for about 10 minutes and engine began surging, transmission would not move from second gear, and vehicle speed would not exceed 20 MPH. Exited roadway and parked vehicle overnight. At engine startup vehicle ran fine but with engine light on. Drove 60 miles and vehicle suffered complete shutdown on freeway. Vehicle coasted to a safe stop and called mazda roadside.

I was reading this complaint section and noticed that there was someone complaining about the same issues I was having. I own a 2005 mazda6 sedan sport -- it has died three times on me, for no apparent reason. Once at a stop sign, again at a metering light on the freeway and then again in the middle of a busy intersection in san francisco. I have documented all three incidents and have brought to the dealership, but they never really found anything "wrong" -- but obviously something is wrong if my brand new car dies. This was back in november and it's been fine ever since (it's april now), but I still have some sort of anxiety when driving - not knowing if I will reach my destination or not.

I own a 2005 mazda 6 I sedan. After owning my car for 7 months it has turned off 3 times while driving. Once I was on the highway the other two times I was at a stop. I have taken it to the dealership twice to have the problem examined and no problem has been found. My car has received all of the scheduled maintenance. Yet the problem still occurs. When the car stalls it usually starts again immediately however I don't think a new car should have this problem.
