Hello all,
I hope someone may be able to help with this problem. My daughter bought a used 2005 Mazda 3 from a Hyundai dealership. What has been happening is that sometimes when she stops at a light, even though she is on the brake only, the car will rev and lurch forward a couple of times and then stall out and she also was unable to start it a couple of times. The check engine light does not come on.
It has gone back to the dealership multiple times and has been there for weeks at a time, but for some reason they can't seems to find whats wrong or recreate the problem. Yet when my wife picked it up the other day from the dealship, it did it when she was leaving there and then it did it twice the next day.
I'm not really sure how hard the dealship is working to resolve this issue but I'm hoping maybe I can get some clues here while I work on finally getting the dealership to send the car to a Mazda dealer.
We also recently found out that the previous owner had takken the car to Aamaco back in August for this same problem and they were also unable to recreate the problem.
I'm wondering if this can be a computer issue?
