I slowly drove through the intersection,with horns blowing around me ,because I was in everyone's way . This occurs intermittently ,sometimes once a week or every other week,this is very nerve racking because one cannot prepare for when it will occur,i took my vehicle to the dealer who looked at it they could not find anything wrong ,because it occurs so erratically .After several trips to the dealer with no relief .I am fedup with mazda. *Tr
