I have a 2007 Mazda 5 with just under 20,000 km. Almost immediately after purchasing the vehicle from the dealer the car shook violently under mild acceleration. It has continued to do this on an unpredictable basis and the dealership technicians are stumped. I definitely feel that it is a safety issue that needs to be addressed for obvious safety reasons. Has anyone else experienced this phenomena? Can anybody describe their situation to shed some light on my problem? That would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: vg33e power (Dec 23, 2008 7:41 am) The car will jolt almost as if the engine loses power and suddenly regains it. It can be very scary. I don't think it's driver error because it has done it with other drivers too. Sometimes the car will go weeks without any issues and sometimes it will “jolt” up to three times in a week. On a number of occasions it has been so bad it has caused the wheels to squeal and chirp. I have kept track of RPMs, engine temp. , outside temp., fuel level and anything else relevant to find a pattern but so far nothing consistent has shown up.
