2003 MAZDA6 MODEL CARS WERE BUILT WITH FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES. UNAWARE OF THIS, I BOUGHT ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH IT. WHEN DRIVING VERY SLOWLY, UNDER 15 MPH, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY THROTTLE, ACCELERATING IT IN BURSTS EVEN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THA
... T ISSUE IS PROBLEMATIC BUT RELATIVELY MINOR; HOWEVER, THERE IS A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS ISSUE THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY CREATES. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO CUT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR THE FIRST TIME WE HAD THE ENGINE CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING (SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR). LUCKILY, SHE WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 25 MPH. THE ENGINE HAS CUT OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS FORCED TO COAST THROUGH FREEWAY TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS CUT OUT, WITHOUT WARNING, AT SEVERAL SPEEDS. THERE IS NO RHYME TO WHEN IT WILL CUT OUT AND NO INDICATION IT'S GOING TO CUT OUT AHEAD OF TIME. I SPENT OVER $500 TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH MECHANICS UNSURE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEN A MECHANIC HAPPENED TO HAVE AN OLD SERVICE BULLETIN (SB), DATED 5/18/2006, FROM MAZDA THAT STATED THROTTLE BODIES WITH THE MARKINGS AA, AB, OR BA AT THE END OF THEIR SERIAL NUMBERS (AS IS THE CASE WITH THE ONE IN MY CAR) ARE "NO GOOD". BECAUSE THE PART IS LABELED "NO GOOD" UNDER MAZDA LETTERHEAD, I FIGURED THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED BEFORE I OWNED THE CAR THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER SOMEHOW MISSED. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS ASSURED NO RECALL HAS EVER BEEN ISSUED ON THE PART AND IN ORDER TO REPLACE IT, THE COST WILL BE OVER $1,000. A RECALL MUST BE MADE ON THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FAULTY, BY MAZDA'S OWN ADMISSION, PART BEFORE UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED, IF THAT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY.Read more

BOUGHT A 2003 MAZDA 6 LAST YEAR, MY TACHOMETER KEPT GOING CRAZY AND THE CAR WOULD DIE OUT. I TOOK IT TO GOOD YEAR, 3 CODES CAME UP. THEY CHANGED THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND THE EGR VALVE. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, GOOD YEAR TOOK THE PARTS OUT, PUT MINE BACK IN AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A MAZDA DEALE
... RSHIP. I TOOK IT TO MAZDA, THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO CHANGE MY PCM BECAUSE IT WAS SHORTING OUT, AND MY EGR VALVE AND THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY QUOTED ME 2K DOLLARS FOR EVERYTHING. I ASKED THEM HOW MUCH THEY WERE CHARGING FOR THE PARTS, THEY TOLD ME 1100 FOR THE PCM AND 200 FOR THE EGR, THE REST WAS LABOR. AS THE SERVICE ADVISOR QUOTED ME PRICES, I TOLD HER I CAN BUY A PCM ONLINE FOR 145. SHE SAID, YES, YOU CAN DO THAT, BUT WE WON'T WARRANTY THE JOB BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUR PART. I TOLD THEM ARE YOU SURE THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM? THEY SAID YES. I TOLD THEM OKAY FINE! CONSTANTLY CALLING THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS ASKING WHEN I WAS GOING TO GET MY CAR BACK, THEY GAVE ME A LOANER. I HAD THAT FOR A WEEK, SO THEY HAD MY CAR A TOTAL OF 3 WEEKS. FINALLY I CALLED AGAIN, I ASKED THEM WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME, I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WAS LIKE WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED TO 2K WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM? THEY SAID NO, THERE'S TOO MUCH SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE, YOU NEED A NEW ONE. UPSET, I'M ALREADY IN FOR 2K AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO SPEND ANOTHER 5K FOR A NEW ENGINE. MIND YOU, I WAS ALREADY HESITANT BECAUSE OF THE PRICE OF THE PCM. ANY WAY, SERVICE ADVISOR TELLS ME, I CAN BUY A NEW/USED ENGINE ONLINE FOR 500 AND HAVE THEM CHANGE IT. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS THE WHOLE REASON, I DIDN'T BUY THE PCM ONLINE!I WAS TOLD YOU WOULDN'T WARRANTY IT, NOW YOU WANT ME TO BUY ONE ONLINE? I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, PICKED UP MY CAR, STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE,SEE LINK ... HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=XPKZPHE4SBI OR WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=N6FOAYBW_5K. *TRRead more

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. AS WELL AS THE PCM, USUALLY CONNECTED AS NOTED BY MY MECHANIC. 3 THINGS CAN COME FROM THIS HE SAID. I COULD BE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS PEDAL, THE COMPUTER, OR I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING SO FAR THE ISSU
... E CAUSES THE COMPUTER TO INCORRECTLY READ, CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL AS A FEW OTHERS TO ABRUPTLY TURN ON WHILE CAR IS IN FULL MOTION, FOR ME THIS IS TYPICALLY AT 55 MPH. THE CAR THEN LOOSES THE ABILITY TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE, OR DECELERATE. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PULL MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER, PUT IN PARK WHILE THE CAR SEEMS TO BE LURCHING FORWARD, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. IF I DO NOT DO THIS QUICK ENOUGH THE ENGINE BEGINS TO REV HIGH AND LOW CONTINUOUSLY. MY RPM GAUGE BOUNCES AROUND AS IT IS DOING SO. AFTER LEAVING THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MOMENTS I CAN THEN RESTART. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOW STAY ON FOR ABOUT 50 MILES AND TURN ITSELF OFF. ONCE THE LIGHT HAS GONE OFF USUALLY WITHIN 15 MILES MY CAR WILL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. AFTER CALLING MY DEALER, BECAUSE I STILL OWE 2 MORE YEARS OF PAYMENT ON THE CAR, I AM TOLD THAT THEY CAN FIX IT IF I HAVE MY WARRANTY INTACT. UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS RUN OUT AS OF JULY. THE PART ALONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS $700. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING IT? *TRRead more
