There's a thread EXACTLY on that. Cruising speed and then when releasing gas and the car moves to neutral the vibration happens. It seems the mating of engine and transmission had a slightly loose bolt which starts to cause the problem. I am not saying that's indeed your case but checking the...

one of the 3 engine mounts may be slightly not torqued to specs.

Have someone put car on drive while brakes are pressed. Then ask that person to press gas really hard (RPM shoots up to almost 6 or 7) and then release and pulse few times. You should watch the engine from the top. if it shakes and especially the mount point - that's your issue.

Wait please. Check codes. Mazda is weird. In my case had a cylinder misfire and car went into limp mode. All over the dash this exact error message started to appear. After digging deep I found out Mazda disables all these automatic brake features if within car there's some danger of either...

Hello, We as family share Nissan Sentra 2017. Accidentally my son poured Techron while filling gas 20 oz came home , didn't tell me about it. I poured the 2nd. 20 oz. since I had told him I would. Then later he tells me he poured a can when filling up! Now, I am really worried. Can someone...

A week...approx. 30 odd miles.

@ruthrj YOU ARE AWESOME. The dealership did not put the air filter box clips on and inside there was no air filter. I had just installed a week prior a premium (not value priced) Mazda air filter. Worked like a champ now - no more jerking / shaking when idling. Engine light went away after 5...

70,000. CODE: P0171 -finally appeared. I am suspecting a vacuum leak perhaps? Ran live view using BlueDriver and collected short and long term fuel trim. The app said should be near 0. But if above 15% *which is what I see most of the time for short term* and if pedal is pressed - its dropping.

When idling and engine warmed up or cold doesn’t matter: off and on the car shakes. Engine RPM live view is around 750. However the throttle position live view shows intermittent jumps. When that happens the whole car shakes a bit. Happens for couple seconds randomly. In between usually like 2...

This got fixed. I called my trusted mechanic. He told me to first route an extremely narrow semi-flexible tube down the hatch where the window resides. Then connect the other end to an electrical connector cleaner or something similar which immediately evaporates. Then start going back and forth...

I will open the panel tomorrow and let me do some jiggling, wriggling and whatever was advised above.

9 yrs. had technically 1 problem: leaking tensioner till date. But I change oil every time my system says 40% left with ONLY GF-5. I tighten and check all chassis bolts, lubricate everything with white lithium grease and annually clean and lubricate brake caliper pins.

Does anyone know how to fix this symptom? Power window with auto up/down driver side. When I down, goes down manually or powered. But when trying to bring it back up, ideally even if I let go it should continue going up. What's now happening is: > Slower than usual starts to go up. > Shudders...

[FINAL UPDATE} This time used "Mazda Swag" and got all the parts. The belt and the water pump was easy peachy from bottom but the tensioner was a real bi$$h. I had to go all crazy. I just cut the water pump belt. For those attempting DIY and if tensioner is not in plan - then go for it otherwise...

Hello - I took the car into my trusted mechanic. He said - the belt is relatively fine. For 9 yrs., its in great condition. The problem he said is the tensioner. There's hydraulic fluid inside it and it's leaking and he's finding oil on the belt. He checked and apparently Mazda has had issues...
