This evening I was running 2 errands less than 3 miles from house. As I drove from the first errand and arrived at the second, the malfunction indicators illuminated: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-0A4bjzana9E/umf10emozji/aaaaaaaaahk/aklxhahwfsw/S1600/2012-12-11_cx-5.jpg I parked at my second errand, turned the car off, and decided to let it sit. When I came back and started it, only the check engine light was on. With the vehicle full of purchases, temperature near 30 degrees, I opted to try and make it the 2.3 miles home. I got 2 traffic lights when the instrument cluster lit up again. The Cx-5 seemed to drive ok, so I continued home. As I made the second to last turn -- about 1 mile out -- the automatic transmission indicator blinked out (no longer said 'd'), then the speedometer/tachometer/odometer stopped reporting (all read 0). I made it to my driveway, but was unable to turn it of until I held the start/stop button about 20 seconds until it turned off (this was the solution when I had problems with the smart key in my previous Mazda). Mazda installed a data recorded in my vehicle several weeks ago, as they continue to investigate problems with the skyactive automatic transmission I reported days after taking delivery in may: 4.bp.blogspot.com/-oohcdcyekly/umgimooun5I/aaaaaaaaako/O_axhysuz74/S1600/img_1293.jpg that device should hopefully provide additional diagnostic information to them. It was towed to my nearest dealership, whose service bays it is no stranger to.

While driving vehicle on frwy, started losing power fast. As if the engine turned off. At light, traction light, stability control light and check engine light came on. Pulled to side of frwy turned car off, sat there in disbelief. I then turned the vehicle back on - only check engine light stayed on. Had power as if nothing had happen diag found code P1738, P0847. Galpin Mazda called tech line and they were told to perform a reflash to the PCM. This happen again about 2 months later. But this time all warning lights turned off after restarting. I will mention it on my next service visit.
