I was driving to work when engine just turn off for no reason. Didn't give any signs before at all, I didn't even noticed at first because music was pretty loud. I got to get to the side of the road and turn off the ignition. Car wouldn't turn on again. I noticed red car/key symbol flashing on each time I tried to turn the car on. Unplugging battery didn't help. I tried to research that here and on Google after reading some more I also tried second pair of keys which didn't help either. Got my car towed couple hrs ago to Mazda dealer. They said they wont be able to look at it until Monday. What do you think might be an issue?

hmmm i would assume that the battery gave out on you, did you make sure it was on tight?

Loose battery terminal.

It's always a loose battery terminal.

The dealership will know immediately it's a loose terminal.

I guarantee the dealership workorder will read "battery failure - r&r new battery - $422"

yeah get it out before they charge you an arm and both legs. you can fix it yourself for A LOT less

if its a battery then why didn't the car star when pushed???? Clamps on the battery where tight on. Estimate at the dealership is $116 , if they say its battery then ill replace it my self on their parking light and drive home.
