Replying to: vg33e power (Dec 23, 2008 7:41 am) To elaborate on the problem:   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.

Replying to: techtyler (Dec 23, 2008 8:23 am) WOW! Sounds just like the TSB for the older engine stumble. I wonder if Mazda never corrected thi issue?   Here is the link for the older TSB:   Engine Stumble TSB Replies to this message: redberry (Dec 23, 2008 10:41 am) coolmazda5 (Dec 23, 2008 10:55 am)

Replying to: vg33e power (Dec 23, 2008 9:18 am) I agree that the symptoms sound like it - I had a different make of car that behaved similarly when the camshaft position sensor went bad. My check engine light would come on, though, after a major "hiccup" and then driveability would be bad until I restarted the engine (not a Mazda).

Replying to: vg33e power (Dec 23, 2008 9:18 am) It applies to 2006 and 2007 models so the issue seems corrected, yet has not been applied to this vehicle.   Your dealer should be able to update the PCM.
