So my car is a manual and has been stalling at stops lately while the ac is on.. when I talked to my service department today in person they told me "We recently have seen this problem in just autos but they were all women drivers and since yours is a manual we have not had any problems and when we drive it its fine so if I were you drive it around and have it die then call mazda roadside assistance"

WOW

 

WTF... Take it to some other dealership ASAP. It shouldn't stall with AC running

 

Hahhaha...women stall autos. That's priceless.

 

I think dealership employees have hit a new low.

 

I'm a woman and I don't even stall my manual! I'd like to get my hands on that person!

 

Yeah that's not right but some people just don't have common sense to say in appropriate ways.

 

You are in Arizona? Stalling has been a symptom associated with the engines that are dying in hot climates. Do you also experience power loss when accelerating?

I'm not too ashamed to say that I'm a guy... and I'm new to driving manual, and have stalled mine out a few times... having nothing to do with A/C, or anything, just "getting the feel" of the car :-)

 

AR=Arkansas
AZ=Arizona

People are always getting those wrong but if I didnt live here hell I would too!

I was thinkin it was my climate too because a few people I know around here are having the problem

 

Its not my driving... I will have the clutch on the floor and it will just drop down to about 750RPM then Drop lower than that in about 2 sec and go off!

 

I would have given them the finger.... did you give them the finger?!?!?!?

 

I HATE it when men do that. Nothing irritates me more. Idiot. Stalling autos.

 

Somebody needs to slap fire out of their ***!

 

Lokks like they're not having fun and they need to go Zoom Zoom.

1st step on the gas!

 

No I just asked them about the lemon law... my radio led pannel trips out alot and its the seconed time they replaced it.... i have had 09824082 problems with my car... but i keeep the cool

 

ahaha thsats a sticking neutral switch- car doesnt know you have changed to neutral so when you push the clutch in it gets confuse. its a switch down the shifter shaft.

 

I had the same problem with mine, mine is in the shop getting a new engine installed. what grade gas have u been putting? they claim anything less than 91 will cause problems like this. I always used 93 octaine.

 

I'm in Chicago. My 6 M/T was doing this also. Then it started with the ticking sound. Now I'm waiting for a new engine. Should be in next week. I never had the loss of power problem.
