Sensors, sensors and more sensors. This car has numerous sensors and relays that can cause problems. I had a problem which caused the car to stop at random. On one occasion it stalled in the middle of a busy intersection and almost killed my family. Over a 10 month period I spent over 1500 dollars at several shops including the dealer to trace the problem and no luck. Finally I saw a reference in a chat room to the same problem. It suggested unplugging a particular sensor. I did it and the car has not stalled since that time. (Thank God for the internet). I have replaced all of the wheel bearings and CV joints. Apparently they are a common problem on these cars as well.
It is a great looking car and very comfortable, but not as reliable as a Toyota, Honda or Nissan. Be prepared to spend a lot of money for maintenance.
What did you unplug? I have to know!
I have the same problem with my sensors. I was told last year that I needed two sensors replaced. Since then my car stalls and cuts off from time to time. I know realize that I can unplug the sensor and keep on riding because the car itself runs well.
Can you please tell me which sensor was that you unplugged because I have the same problem!!
I have 1995 Mazda Millenia. I put 210 k miles on vehicle.
Great car for the money!!! My Mazda runs like new!!!
