how high is your rpm when you're idle?

Quite low i think.. Because the needle is so thick and the meter gap is quite small.. But i think is less than 500rpm
i'll take a photo later and upload it here..

squareballs, i tink ur problem is same as bubbs... try pm bubs

wooow! Squareballs! Your car engine dies off too? with engine and battery indicators both on? that makes you no 2 case in malaysia.

bubs66 squareballs prob is almost like urs. only thing is engine havent die. only shake

At beginning, it was only shaking/jerking.
Then engine dies off.

So it does happen only to HB model.

sounds like problem with rpm too low, what did SC say?

paul de costa sez...try different SC...if u r not satisfy wit services from certain SC...

otherwise make an official complaint to him...

Need comments from owner of new batch of Mazda 2 (Sedan)...still have any problem like burning smell, knocking sound when drives pass the hump...and other problems???

Still indecisive whether to buy Fiesta or Mazda 2...

Thank you for your reply.

burning smell, mine still not solved... will call up again to complaint.
for hump, it's normal. mazda absorber is stiff. due to their stiffness the knowcking sound will be there. live with it or if u had $ buy new set from aftermarket parts

Still could not find the root cause. Technical wise every thing is ok, no error code. But the owner still having the same issue again. 1st time , change bcm / re flash ecu. Ok, then after 2 months plus later it started all over again. 2nd time, change body throttle . Just discharged last week. They said they have highlighted to Mazda Japan side .

It is a good drive just hiccups here n there. Every car maker has their own issues. Nothing is perfect. I am too lucky , I guess

yes, bro. i am now living with the asorber stiffness
trying to save up to change to a better absorber

I'm used to the above mentioned already, smell only occur when you rev above 4500rpm and its mild, knocking sound is not serious for my case, just drive slow over bumps. Just like what leinnz said, we are living with it

Had my steering rack replaced once, and then there's the intermittent shaft which was replaced recently. Other than that it's a great little car

i strike lottery again. it dies off this morning , without giving any signal this time. the car behind me almost kiss my butt.

bro... new car this time. better replace whole M2 with a new M2. i prefer mazda over T or H. or choose ford fiesta our twin sister. hehehe.
We support u

This is so disappointing.... I am so frust!

I hope the Bermaz management side is reading this!!!

relay your incident to Bermaz, get their customer service manager into it.
it is very dangerous if your engine keeps dying out, you really need a new car replacement.

paul de costa acknowledge this matter...he sez goin to different SC...or write a complaint to him directly...
it seems ur car only has the problem...

paul de costa handles all customer complaint...

I called the workshop manager this morning about my case and emailed Paul De Costa and Bermaz Malaysia contact us column.

I am still waiting for their return call. not even one year old car !

So freaking ' lucky'!

its frustrating for such thing to happen on a new car ar.. and they shud really get something done. Just go to the highest level to express it since all these ciaokia are useless..
