First off I hope I am in the correct forum. If not, moderators please put me in the right one so that my question can get prompt attention.

Everytime I drive as soon as I get to 20mph sometimes sooner, my tcs off light come on and the other tcs indicator blinks. My engine then surges. This has been going on for about 8 months but just been dealing with it. This car is junk. I wish i never had bought it. already had to spend $3500 to rebuild the tranny and $800+ to replace the starter. Also had to replace a solenoid but i was blessed to have that still under warranty. I dont know what else to do. Its so annoying, in order to fix it, I have to turn the car off then back on I guess this resets the computer or something. Its only a temp fix, as in a few minutes the same thing happens. I am at wits end. I am so very annoyed and upset that I have to go thru this. Please someone help me. When I took it to a Mazda dealer (hoping they could fix it) they ended up just fixing a starter and blamed the rest on cylinder misfire but wanted to charge me $2500+ to fix it.


It is a 2001 Mazda Millenia S 2.5 Miller cycle engine Supercharged

Please help. (pissed)

What area/region/state are you located in?

There is a Certified Mazda Expert in the east end of Louisville (Kentucky), named Dr Zoom. This guy knows all about Mazda's and he's alot cheaper than the dealer. He could probably help you, if you are in the area.

Sounds like you've had alot of issues with your Millenia. Usually Mazda's are really good cars, but I don't know much about the Millenia myself. I know one person that used to have one, I'll ask him about this.
