Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving approximately 35-40 mph the engine stalled, the panel lights to include the check engine light came on and i had difficulty braking and steering my vehicle. after much difficulty i was able to stop the vehicle off the road. i then was unable to turn the vehicle off in order to restart it again. i called the dealer and sent mazda an email and both organizations said they were not aware of anyone else having this problem and if i took it in the dealer might be able to find out what happened but there is no guarantee. this is the 2nd time this has happened. i am afraid to drive the vehicle because it happens without notice and i am afraid of someone hitting me from behind when it stalls.
