problem #2

CX-3 Grand Touring AWD 2.0L 4 cyl

This is now the THIRD TIME I have take my Mazda CX-3 to the dealership for the SAME ISSUE!!! They keep the car for more than two weeks attempting to figure out what is wrong.

Ultimately, I am told it has something to do with the ABS - I believe they "flushed the system" or did something to overhaul it.

Car is returned to me citing this should resolve the issue. I am adamant about being sure that since my car is NOT YET 5 years old - turned 5 on October 30th, 2020 and under 60K - I want to be sure if this issue recurs it will still be considered "under warranty". I am told this will absolutely be the case. I am also told this shouldn't happen since it's fixed! Yeah, right!!!!

This is the second time I have returned to my local Mazda dealership with the same complaint. While driving on the freeway, the car suddenly loses power forcing me to exit the freeway to get safely to the shoulder. The car does not turn off, but the sudden reduction in power, makes it necessary for me to get out of the way of cars traveling much faster than I am. I have to cross several lanes of traffic as I navigate my way to the shoulder. I am fuming mad and a bit scared since I had to move quickly to get out of the way.

Once again, I take car back to the dealership. They keep the car for several days. I even authorize a technician to drive the car to and from work as he attempts to replicate the problem. However, the issue never occurs with him. I am told by the service representative that CORPORATE has been told to "release the car" to me. SERIOUSLY!!!????

I sign the paperwork and take my car...but I write on the order that I am "convinced this is going to happen again" since no one has determined why this keeps happening.
