The power steering on my 2008 Mazda 3 went out. I took it to a mechanic shop who diagnosed the power steering pump is creating pressure that is getting to the rack and pinion and the fluid is just bouncing off of the rack and pinion and the computer system does not know how to function, so the power steering is not working.

My mazda3 dies while I am driving without any indication of what IS going on (no check engine light). When it does, I wait for a while and it will start back up again! My shop and I have tried everything we can, but we can't figure out why it IS doing that! I called the manufacture and they said it was recalled for power steering assist failure and fixed in 2010 but to us it sounds it IS that issue causing it to stop while in motion! this car IS unsafe!! No car should stop in motion from nowhere! The manufacture should be responsible for that!

At and yellow check engine light came on and car was in limp mode first thing in morning after having no issues with my mazda previously. Codes came back with solenoids a, b, c, d, e all have electrical failure, and issues with the oxygen sensor. My car has had regular maintenance done on it. No signs or symptoms of transmission failure beforehand. Happened instantly overnight. Tcm IS not in stock anywhere and I suspect that IS the culprit due to other mazda owners similar situations. 95K miles.

Brakes became spongy after hard braking at interstate highway speed of 65 mph. afterward, sporadically, brakes would require several pumps of the pedal to build enough hydraulic pressure to stop the vehicle. I'm reporting this incident now after learning about ford recall 19s54, nhtsa identifier 19v904. brake parts on this car were made by fomoco. ABS hydraulic unit, p/n bvsn-43-7azd, was replaced by mazda dealer to correct problem at a cost of $1200.

While driving my car I completely lost my power steering going about 55 mph, we live in a very rural curvey area. At other times I have been going in reverse or driving and my car would shake and just shut off! This.would happen would turning onto.the road or going down the road. It happened at different speeds. sometimes the car would instantly start back up or I would have to push the car in a safe area (if possible) and wait. I have a 5 month old and 8 year old son having a reliable car IS extreme priority for us, I'm so scared of my car. We do normal maintenance and I took it in to be looked at when it shut off and the mechanic couldnt find anything noticeable. He said I would basically have to just start replacing parts and see which part fixes the problem.
- Power train
The vehicle suddenly jerks, pulls, stops after about 10 minutes running time. told by mechanic that it IS the transmission control module. he said this model IS notorious for having them fail. they are on back order with mazda with no lead time, which also says something. The vehicle IS very dangerous to drive. mechanic said the original design has bad placement which causes them to heat up and fail.

When my used 2008 mazda 3 car IS parked over a day of more without being plugged to a charger it will not start. Nothing will work even the remote to open the door. Note the hundreds of owners with his problem. Check the web for this problem. I spent $870.00 to have this fixed to no avail.

While driving the speed goes up and down on its own the automatic transmission of my 2008 mazda 3 shifts down from the 5TH to the 3RD gear. This causes the car to jerk violently and the controls to illuminate including check engine, no traction and at. My mechanic could not find a cause of this, and he serviced the transmission by changing the filter and transmission fluid but the problem persists. One mechanic said it IS the speed sensor another the transmissions computer I have spend about 1,800 and I still have the same problems. It IS very scary for my kids and myself while driving and I can't afford to get another car. What IS the problems with mazda with my car? Can someone please help?! also all the electrical stop working about two years ago, another thing IS the steering wheels problems when making a turn it really time forever and it IS really slow and heavy.

This vehicle has had 3 repeated major service repair attempts related to the tcm, pcm at light, check engine/transmission light trying to resolve this issue permanently. This vehicle was in motion and stationary on a city street when experiencing all of these problems. this vehicle has only approximately 68,000 miles. This IS a major safety issue that needs to be addressed by mazda or buy back this vehicle. No one should have to be faced with these kinds of concerns. These systemic issues has not been favorable in my view and will having a major determing effect in future car purchase. brand loyalty. [Blah, blah, blah...] 4-3-2019 at 9:27am
- Service brakes
The brakes normally function correctly except for when, and for some time after the ABS activates. After the ABS activates you must push the brake petal nearly to the floor before the brakes engage. usually, the brakes seem to "reset" after 3 or 4 hard braking attempts.
- Service brakes
The vehicle when in motion attempting to brake has soft brakes that when engaged, the brake pedal moves to aprox. 1 inch from the floor. The brakes only slightly engage, however, if needed the ABS system and the braking ability IS hindered when hard stopping. The rotors and pads were replaced, and the brake lines bled hoping to solve the issue. Yet, further diagnostics show that the ABS control module IS faulty.

Since the course of about a year, I have experienced traumatic moments while driving my vehicle pertaining to it's electrical/transmission functionality. When driving the vehicle at normal speeds (EX. 50Mph) the mazda would buckle, rev abnormally, all while my gear indicator would flicker. This would happen after about 10 minutes of driving and continue on for the remainder of the drive about every 20 minute interval. This IS quite unsafe, and the repairs that multiple mechanics including mazda themselves suggested to repair the issue did not accomplish anything unfortunately. Repairmen flushed and replaced the automatic transmission fluid, replaced my output speed sensor, changed out my shift solenoids, gear shifter, and even replaced my entire pcm. I have not only taken pictures and videos of these horrid incidences, but there seems to be other instances of people having this identical issue with their mazda's as well. If there IS a way to show my video examples for study, then I will gladly send them.

#1 air bag warning dash light remains illuminated and has stayed illuminated for approximately 1 1/2+ years. There IS no mazda dealership in my area and I initially believed it was my responsibility to replace or repair at my expense due to the vehicle's age. #2 brakes: vehicle was recently serviced and comprehensive safety inspected on 6 nov 2018. I asked the shop to check the brake pedal for abnormal pressure. I felt the brake pedal was not maintaining a firm pedal push while driving, but at first felt firm then softened almost all the way to the floor board. I returned to the auto service to point this out and the representative responded no evidence of brake fluid leaking out and earlier while they drove it around their facility it felt fine, therefore it was ok to drive like this. Today IS 3 december and it IS still a mushy brake.

I have had issues with the front and rear lights. discovered that the socket to the headlight on the drivers side was melted when I went to replace the bulb. after replacing the socket the light worked only intermittently. there seemed to be a poor connection and I would have to adjust the wiring leading to the bulb until I got a good connection. this connection was easily lost hitting bumps in the road. tried another replacement socket and this one works much better. also discovered a melted socket on the passenger side brake light along with a melted light housing. despite the light not working it was extremely hot when I went to remove it. while the driver's side brake light IS currently working, it too seems to be over heating. the socket IS cracked in two places and the light housing IS also melted.
- Service brakes
The brake pedal goes too far before engaging. I've had the brake fluid replaced and after about 6 months, the problem has occured again. the research that I have done shows that it IS a problem with the ABS actuator. there's appears to be a fault that allows pressure to bleed past the valves in the actuator. this IS a serious problem as stopping distance IS affected. there needs to be a recall.

The subject vehicles have electro-hydraulic power assist steering (EHPAS).The complaint counts shown above alleged a loss of power steering assist in the subject vehicles.Usually, but not always, the loss is accompanied by the simultaneous lighting of an indicator light on the dash.The complaints include 14 alleged crashes involving 6 injuries.On Mazda3 and Mazda5 vehicles manufactured from April 2, 2007 through November 30, 2008, rust may have formed inside the EPAS high-pressure pipe during manufacture due to improper processing.If the rust is present it may damage the power steering pump bearings leading to an increased load on the electric motor; this results in an elevated operating temperature for the EPAS system.To prevent excessive overheating of the system, which could potentially cause permanent damage, afailsafe mode which de-powers the electric pump is implemented.This causes a loss of power assist making it more difficult to steer the vehicle, especially at lower vehicle speeds.Once the failsafe is implemented the EPAS system will remain disabled until the ignition is turned off.However EPAS will be re-enabled if the operating temperature is reduced (i.e., within an acceptable range) on a subsequent drive cycle.On August 8, 2010 Mazda submitted a Part 573 defect information report initiating Safety Recall 10V-374 to remedy the subject vehicles.The report, which contains additional details on the remedy repair, is available at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/.ODI notes that the affected population shown in that report includes approximately 8,000 vehicles Mazda repaired prior to initiating the recall.

Technical service bulletins and other communications the manufacturer sent dealers about this vehicle. Ask a dealer for the full document by its number.
- 11007022Some vehicles may experience exterior trim heat damage such (melted, separating, etc.) when parked near a glass building or Low-E windows. This may be caused by the sun's reflection.
- 11007019If you encounter any type of electrical concern (e.g, dead battery, engine no start, DTC(s) stored...), interview the customer before proceeding with normal MGSS diagnosis by asking if any aftermarket devices have been installed. Aftermarket devices may be the cause of the electrical concern. Below are a few examples of unusual electrical concerns caused by aftermarket devices.
- 11006987In accordance with Federal regulations, follow the procedure listed below when replacing a speedometer. NOTE: Tampering with a motor vehicle odometer is strictly prohibited by Federal, and State laws. It is the dealers responsibility to comply with Federal, State, and local laws concerning odometer and related documentation requirements when providing a repair or replacement. Mazda vehicles are manufactured with tamper-proof speedometers. When a speedometer is replaced, the new speedometer will read zero (0) miles. This procedure is extremely important to accurately represent actual vehicle mileage. Prior to speedometer removal, complete the information required on the Speedometer Replacement Label. Labels can only be ordered through Mazda eStore. In an effort to achieve a higher level of Customer Experience and retain the value of Mazdas vehicles, MNAO Warranty Operations is allowing all Mazda dealers to utilize a third party, SPECMO Enterprises, Inc., for Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) odometer setting service. With the use of SPECMOs services, it is possible that the odometer will be set between 10 to 31 miles over the odometer mileage at the time of replacement for both warranty and customer pay repairs. Please make sure that the customer is aware that there may be a slight variance to the odometer, in which case the customer may have to accept the slightly higher mileage. Since odometer setting service is not part of the warranty repair, it is not warrantable nor required, but optional. However, Mazda Warranty policy provides after- warranty assistance (AWA) or DSA that can be utilized to cover this service expense.

- 10206002Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Cooler and Lines Flushing Procedure: Automatic Transaxle/Transmission (A/T) oil cooler and lines must be power flushed completely before an overhauled or replacement A/T is installed (except SKYACTIV-DRIVE). The most common cause of repeat A/T failures is lack of lubrication to the front and rear planetary gears. This is usually caused by an accumulation of metal particles and debris (from a previous A/T failure) on the internal mesh type baffle of the oil cooler. Power flushing will remove the restriction by back flushing, followed by forward flushing to dislodge a restriction, then back flushing again. This will in turn ensure full ATF flow for the transmission when it is operating.
