Mazda north america operations (mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014 mazda3 vehicles manufactured june 12, 2013, through december 18, 2013, and model year 2014-2015 mazda6 vehicles manufactured may 20, 2013, through december 4, 2013, and both equipped with a 2.5l engine and a regenerative engine braking system. When driving the affected vehicles in heavy rain or in deep puddles, the alternator belt may slip causing the power control module (PCM) to incorrectly assume failure of the charging system. Consequence once the PCM assumes that the charging system has failed, the vehicle will stop charging and could result in poor acceleration, loss of steering assist and windshield wiper operation, and a possible engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. What owners should do mazda will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the PCM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on may 19, 2014. Owners may contact mazda at 1‑800‑222‑5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 7314d. My car is experiencing this recall that was closed in 2015.

I was driving down a street @ 40mph when the infotainment, speedometer, shut off and I could not accelerate. The stability control warning came on and stayed on. After a brief moment, the stability warning turned off, but the check engine light went on. The car drove normally for the rest of the day, but the very next day, at a stop light, the same thing occurred, but this time, I could not accelerate past 2000 rpms, nor reach 20 MPH. I pulled over on the side, and turned off the car. Then turned it back on. It drove normally with the check engine light on the rest of the day, but this could be a very dangerous situation.
