1994 Mazda Navajo Complaints

ON AUG 7, 2000 I WAS ON ROUTE 17, WHEN I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY, MY GAS PEDAL JAMMED AND STARTED EXCELERATING VERY QUICKLY, I WAS DRIVING AT 85 MILES PER HOUR, WITHIN SECONDS OF ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD, I WAS CAPABLE, TO HANDLE THE SITUATION AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY! I CONTACTED MAZDA CORP TO INFORM THEM OF THIS. THERE REPLY WAS MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRENTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHCILE. THE MECHANIC WHO FIXED MY VEHCILE SAID IS WAS BECAUSE MY THROTTLE WAS DIRTY. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS MY GAS PEDDAL BECOMING JAMMED LIKE THAT SO EASILY I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHCILE BECAUSE THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE VERY FAST ON ITS OWN. ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED DOWN WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE THE VEHICLE TO STOP. VEHICLE DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES WHEN CONSUMER HAD A CHANCE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHICH EVENTUALLY STOPPED VEHICLE. DEALER HAS ADVISED CONSUMER THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL'S CABLE HAD BINDED AND FREID (WEAR AND TEAR) WHICH CAUSED PROBLEM. *AK

PE00 020; CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A THUMPING NOISE. SHE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT RIGHT PASSENGER'S TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM RIM. *AK

THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. YOU CAN SLOW THE CAR, BY BRAKING, BY 15-20 MPH AND THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS TO HIT THE OFF SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS COULD LEAD TO UNCONTROLLED SPEED AND POSSIBLE CRASH.

VEHICLE ABS LIGHT STAYED ON AND CAUSED ABS SYSTEM TO DISENGAGE. VEHICLE BEEN IN DEALER SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND DEALER IS STILL UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK
