I don't know much about cars, so I thought I'd post here to gain some insight into a problem I've been having lately. I have an '04 Mazda6 with an automatic transmission--its a top of the line model.
My check engine light has been on for months now, and on 4 occasions during the past 3 weeks, without warning, 3 lights turn on: AT, TCS OFF, and the Traction light (the one on the right side of AT), and the car begins to lose power. Upon applying the brakes, it slows down to about 5-7 km/h, and then it begins to jump forward, and never comes to a complete stop unless I shift it into neutral and turn the ignition off. I then restart it, and the problem goes away.
I know I should take it in (going through a divorce so I have limited resources), but I would like some ideas first so I don't go into the shop blind.
Any insight into this problem is appreciated
