Ok so I've had my car for 2 years. I've never taken it to the dealership for repairs because my car has never needed maintenance or repairs. The oil changes I've had done has been through the shop close to my home... again not a dealership. Recently... with in this month... my car went to the dealership. It had the 36,000 miles or 37,500 miles (whatever your car manual says...) maintenance (a transmission flush, blah blah blah). Now my car... that has never had ANY problems at all, stalls out when I'm braking or putting my foot on the accelerator (I'm not sure which) It's usually when I'm at gear 1 or 2. And it's always in the morning. It doesn't happen all the time in fact it's quite sporadic.
I took the car back to the shop and told them what was going on with the car since I bought it in. They came back from 'looking it over' the told me %26quot;Did you know you have 90 lbs of air in your tires%26quot; I said %26quot; in all of them?%26quot; They said %26quot;in every one of them.%26quot; Granted I did put air in THREE of the tires a couple of days before I took the car back in. That doesn't explain why the 4th tire had 90lbs of air when they told me the tire pressure was fine the first time the car went to the dealership... and I'm not sure how that has anything to do with the vehicle stalling out, but they said that %26quot;that is the only issue%26quot; and they deflated the tires. Keep in mind I drove the car to the shop... which is about 9 or 10 miles away from where I live. Everything else had a clean bill of health. I know my car and I definitely know my car has never behaved this way in the two years that I've owned it.
Does anyone (hopefully a good mechanic or someone savvy with cars) have any idea why my 2006 Mazda6 is acting this way or doing these things?
Thanks in advance.Why is my car stalling out?don,t let them talk you ito having the transmission flushed. stalling you say? it could be the fuel filter is so dirty that it,s restricting the flow of gas. while your at it have the air filter checked too. i don,t know why they asked about the tires. the tires has nothing to do about the stalling. before a car can run right it has to have constant fuel to keep it going and air so it can breathe.Why is my car stalling out?Wait for the problem to get worse so that the shop technician can experience the problem. You may have to leave the car overnight and let them drive it in the morning from a cold start. If the car is under warranty, keep your paperwork showing you had the problem while the car was under warranty and should get it fixed for free.Why is my car stalling out?It sounds like you may have a vacuum leak. The over inflated tires definitely would not make the car stall.
