On April 8 while picking up my daughter from school on nautilus street in la jolla, pointed downhill on a steep grade, my idling vehicle lost power without warning, I lost control of steering and brakes had to stop the vehicle with the handbrake, the passenger car door was open at the time my daughter was trying to step into the vehicle as the car took off, the door hit the car in front of me breaking her tail light, it took me three tries to get the engine to turn back over.

The contact owns a 2011 Mazda Mazda3. While driving 15 mph, the rear brake stop lamps illuminated independently without warning. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was a possible failure due to the ABS malfunction. The contact stated that the rear brake stop lamps were replaced; however, the failure recurred. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000. The VIN was not available.
