For seemingly no reason, the vehicle will restart and stall while driving and multiple warning lights will illuminate. This has happened while driving slow, fast and while turning. When this happens, I need to immediately pull over and restart the engine. The check engine light turns on and indicates an abrupt voltage change issue, but soon turns off after a few power cycles. This started to happen more and more often, and more recently, I had the car not able to start as if the battery died. All my electrical components, such as headlights and hazard lights shut off and after about 10 seconds, they all turned back on and running normally. At this point my vehicle started up again just fine. This has nearly caused an accident a couple times and no mechanic has been able to diagnose the issue yet. Although, this issue seems alarmingly close to a recent recall that was announced for 2018-2019 mazdas relating to a software issue that causes unexpected engine stalling relating to the fuel-saving cylinder deactivation technology. Unfortunately, even though my vehicle contains the same technology, it wasn't included on this recall list.

With no consistancey, the car would loose power. At times, I thought the car would loose full power, in the middle of my commute, I would be forced to pull over and shut the car off. Most times, the car would return to normal conditions. When I brought it in for repair, byers mazda of columbus, told me it needed a tune-up. Once again, the car almost stalled out and I managed to coast into a parking space. Now the same dealership is informing me for the first time that the car has an I-loop system and the battery that should have lasted five years, now less than the 3 years old, needs to be replaced for over $500.00. I bought this car used with an extended warranty and although it was my mistake, the dealership never disclosed the I-loop system and the problems that go with it. This I-loop battery will apparently last 2-3 years only and is very expensive. I guess it is legal for dealership sales reps to misrepresent the car maintenance because they say it is my responsibility to know what I purchased. I will never buy from byers auto for any model car!

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.

Driving through rain in our neighborhood and the car stalled and will not restart. Engine seize per dealer. We understand other mazda's have been recalled due to this issue. We requested the car to be checked for a possible recall without success because our VIN does not fall in the recall. We offered to pay out of pocket for them to test it which they declined to do.
