Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Approximately a week and a half after having the throttle cable serviced on a recall, was travel at 75 mph when the vehciles rpms started to revving at a high rpm, but no increase in speed. vehciles engine shut off and i managed to pull the side of the road. after having the wehcile towed to the dealer, i was told the entire engine needed to be replaced, they could not tell me what caused the problem, vehcile was 4 months out of warrenty, with 34,700 miles. mazda only helping with a small percentage of the repair bill of approx. $ 5,500.00. have had no luck in contacting anyone at mazda who can help. i'm convinced that the replaced throttle cable failed or become stuck, but the dealer claims that it had nothing to do with what happened. until this had no problems with vehicle. *ak
