engine disable problem

so i just got my 8 a couple weeks ago brand new from dealer and it comes with the advanced keyless entry. anyways... the car shuts off on my while im driving and then i cant start it again. the security disabling light (dash light of car with key in center) keeps flashing and the engine wont turn on. after a 20 min. or so playing with it... it finally turns on. wth... i have warranty and have brought it in once and they said they fixed it and cleared the codes (watever that means). has anybody had this problem before???

Could it be the battery in the remote? By advanced keyless entry, you mean the credit card thing and push-to-start? I don't know...sounds like maybe a bad module or relay with the security system...I'd take it in again.

so i keep bringing the car to the dealership because the engine security disable light keeps coming on and the engine stalls .. then im stuck for 30 minutes or so until i can start it again. its been 3x already that i brought it in and they say they cant find the problem. last time they found a lose wire to the fuse box and they said that it was the cause of the problem. anyways... pick it up yesterday.. drive it 4 blocks and it cuts off again. brought it back in today for the 4th time... wat should i do??? its brand new from the dealer... 3 weeks old...

Could always take it to another Mazda dealer.
Some dealers tend to have more "experienced" techs than others.

Back to the dealer four times with the same problem? That might trigger eligibility under the lemon law. Check what the law is in your state.
