Contact states: Last week she was driving down the road and her gas pedal got stuck. She put on the brake and there was a funny noise, the engine was revving), but the car kept accelerating. Finally, she heard a popping noise and the pedal became unstuck. She called Mazda, and Mazda said there was a recall on the vehicle. Consumer called them, and they said the recall was on a cable that had to do with the cruise control, and that throttle box on the was the problem; which was not part of the recall.
Driving on highway down mountain pass accelerator stuck, car would not slow down. Could not turn off cruise control. Had to use both feet on brakes and use truck emergency turnout to stop. Engine was racing.
After starting my car the gas pedal is stuck and needs to be pressed hard to unstick it. This problem has occurred 4-5 times during the life of the car. In each case the dealer has repaired it but claims the problem is due to the fuel I am using. The dealer cleans the throttle body and the problem stops for about 10 thousand miles. This problem is clearly not mine alone; complaint 10005259 describes my exact same condition.
Engine stalls intermittently and hesitates when applying accelerator pedal. Vehicle has been to dealer ship on several occasions. Dealer has been unable to correct problem. Feel free to provide any further information.
