No components working inside of the car except the windows. Car remained stationary for 20 minutes waiting on help and then started after several tries. Slight shimmy while driving to the dealer, along with tachometer jumping about on at a steady speed.
Driving at approx 40-45 MPH and entire SUV shutdown mechanically and eletrically. Coasted to stop could not re-start again, until 10-15 minutes later. This is the second occurrence and the same symptom/s.

Consumer stated that when trying to start again, there were no transmission lights, and would not go into gear. Consumer had vehicle towed to dealer, and they could not duplicate problem. Please provide any further information.
Steering shut down, car die out at 45mph and car stalled.
Vehicle dies while driving. This occurred 3 times; mazda agreed to repurchase vehicle after 4th inspection, and they cannot locate the problem. Therefore, they can't fix it. This is a serious safety hazard. My neighbor told me this week that this exact same stalling problem has happened to her two times. I feel this is more than a coincidence and that there is a severe stalling problem and a recall has yet to be done by mazda.
While driving steering locked up with little prior warning. Consumer pulled over and waited which allowed steering to comeback. On april 26, 2001 began having problems starting up. Dealer has had vehicle for about a week, and has not been able to provide remedy.
Air bag light stays on. When taken to dealer, dealer replaced air bag module three times already. Also, replaced the wire harness . Problem still occurs*ak.
Whenever ignition is started there are gas fumes in passenger's compartment. Dealer says it's not a safety hazard.
Vehicle stalled out and died without warning, causing loss of steering and brakes. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and was not able to duplicate or correct the problem.
While driving at about 50 MPH and coming to a fork in the road, as soon as consumer merged to right steering wheel got very stiff. Then, whole dash lit up. Consumer put on brakes/ put in park, and went to a mazda dealer. Dealer could not find anything. At another day while driving at 60 MPH consumer was bearing over, steering wheel got tight again, and vehicle cut off.
