• Recall 2015490 [Canada]: Powertrain
  A safety defect may exist in vehicles in which remanufactured automatic transmissions were installed as service replacement parts. The shift lever bolt may not have been torqued to the proper torque specification. If the improperly torqued shift level bolt loosens and backs out, the shift lever may disengage from the transmission without warning, and the transmission may not respond to the shifter selection movement by the operator. This could result in the loss of transmission gear selection, and possible unintended vehicle movement, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the shift lever assembly and/or the shift level bolt torqued to the proper specification.

• Recall 2014197 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, a fault in the electric power steering (eps) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will affect repairs as necessary and will reprogram the eps controller with updated software. In the event that an eps fault occurs, this updated software would allow for continued eps function while displaying visual and audible warnings to the driver until the end of the drive cycle.

• Recall 2012237 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.0l v6 engine and speed control, inadequate clearance between the engine cover and the speed control cable connector could result in a stuck throttle when the accelerator pedal is fully or almost-fully depressed. A stuck throttle may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to slow or stop the vehicle if the transmission is not shifted into neutral. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the rear engine cover fastener, which will raise the cover in the area of the speed control cable to provide adequate clearance between the cover the speed control cable connector.

In colder florida weather, freezing isn't required, upon start up and driving for several minutes before everything is warmed up the accelerator pedal will stick and be very hard to push down. When it does break free it can be sudden which results in excessive acceleration for a moment. There is no pedal obstruction, such as a floor mat. This happens when cooler weather, stationary or in motion on street, highway etc until it warms up. Not long after buying this used car, the accelerator pedal cable broke while driving. Had to have it towed to dealer for a new cable. They said they had never seen this happen. This sticking pedal has been going on for a long time. My daughter drives this car so i was unaware of the issue until today when i went to fill it up with gas. I'm a grown man and i had to push down very hard to get it to move.

My wheel started vibrating back and forth while in park and i started and the power steering worked fine. Then turned car off went in the store and came out and it didn't wanna work. Turned car off and back on it worked fine. On the way home coming around a sharp curve it decided to go out and the wheel tightened at 45. I had to slam on my brakes and try my hardest to keep from going off the road. Took it to the mechanic and he said it's a recall to take it to the dealership. Well in 2014 a month after the recall we took the car to the dealer for air filters and they happened to "fix" the solution while there without notifying us. They never fixed it because there was never an issue until now. And they wont fix it because they said that it was already repaired. In fact it wasn't. The electric power steering system is very dangerous and i pray that mazda contacts dealerships and has them actually replace the column as needed and not just clear codes. It does nothing but reset it for it to happen at a later date. I almost ran off the road!
