2.5 engine accellerates on its own
Hello everyone. I now own a used 2011 Mazda CX7. 55,000 miles. VERY nice condition. What could cause it to accelerate on its own when I have my foot on the brake, or say when I am backing into my garage? Scary as heck! The local Mazda dealer can't find any codes or problems with it.

Jammed floor mat? Loose floor mat?
Hot engine? Cold engine? A/C on or off? What RPM does it rev up to? |
The engine is at normal operating temp. No floor mats in the way. Seems to happen when the AC is on.
|
Also the rpms go from maybe 700 rpms at idle in drive to about 1100 rpms.without hitting the gas and I have to hit the brakes hard and fast so I don't run into anything. It only happens once in awhile. Mainly with AC on.
|
I have a 2012 and it does the same thing. Although I have not tried it without the AC on. This kind of does make sense though since I always have the AC on.
Dealership took it and replaced the transmission under warranty but the issue has resurfaced. |
Glad you got it replaced under warranty. But if a dealership told be they were going to replace the transmission to correct an idle speed problem, I'd look for another dealer.
