What owners wrote
On numerous occasions when I attempt to accelerate, the vehicle does not move forward and feels like it might be jammed. The car will then propel into gear causing my vehicle to skid out. The problem is intermittent. It appears to be happening the worst when making right hand turns. This has resulted in one accident, and two near fatal accidents.
The car's cmu needs to be replaced so the car has no functioning radio, GPS or bluetooth. The screen on the dash constantly tries to reboot, which is a distraction and hazard while driving, particularly at night. Mazda has not been able to give me any timeline for the repair and claims it is not covered under an extended warrantee that it issued for the touch screen in this model and year mazda3.
