On the morning of January 28, 2026 I arrived to work and came to a complete stop in my works parking garage. I used my key card to raise the gate. Once the gate was fully raised I pressed the accelerator to drive up the ramp. Shortly after accelerating, my engine revved really loud and high rate, then my car automatically increased speed. I immediately pressed the brake pedal but it didn’t stop. It continued accelerating at a speed not controlled by me with my brakes not engaging even though I was pressing the brake as hard as could. I estimate I travel about 100’ with no control of the gas or brake. It lasted about 15-20 seconds. If a car were in front of me at that time, I would have crashed into them because I could not stop the car. I immediately called Davis Moore Mazda. I had the vehicle towed there because I didn’t feel safe driving it. Information from my cars computer program was sent to Mazda. Mazda didn’t see any issues and their diagnosis was a foot was likely on the accelerator causing the acceleration. The general manager called me to discuss. He said the only thing that registered was acceleration. I asked does the computer show my attempt to brake (stop) the car. His response was the computer wouldn’t read that because that was a normal driving process that wouldn’t be recorded. I asked why the acceleration would trigger an alert in the computer, since acceleration is also a normal driving process. He then said the computer picked it up because it accelerated quickly. There were no warnings present prior to this issue.

Vehicle has been squealing countlessly when braking about 1 to 2 days after leaving the dealership in September 2024 up until current. The vehicle has been out of commission for more than 15 days while attempts to repair the issue at local Mazda dealerships. On the last attempt to correct the issue, Ferman Mazda dealership in Brandon FL performed some sort of shaving of brake component to ensure this would not continue; however, the noise continues and this also may increase the safety risk now.
