The tcm failed on the car and it is a very common thing. The design set the module in a location that overheats and malfunctions when connection is lost with mechanisms that warp under heat, the cost to repair at the dealership was extremely expensive

I have gone to multiple mechanics with no help. My vehicle surges or revs any time the ac is on to the point that the vehicle lunges forward even when my foot is on the brake.

It has caused me to hit a wall (i was slowing down, coming into a parking space) and my neighbors vehicle as I was waiting to turn right out of our condos.

I am pressing charges against the mazda company for failing to correctly diagnose my car when I sent it to be repaired and for causing damage to my engine by telling me it was ready to be driven again. I am also pressing charges against mazda for putting used tires on my new car, making it unsafe to drive. My story is very long. I have many documents I can submit to be used against them. Please give me the case number and a way I can submit my documents. *Tr
