Engine stalling cause?

Asked by haileyyhailey Sep 08, 2020 at 04:09 AM about the 2018 Mazda MAZDA3 Touring

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2018 Mazda3 has only 18,000 miles.
Today I was waiting in a line of cars for 30
minutes, suddenly I tried to press the gas &
the car wouldn’t move. My car was on but it
was stalling. The battery symbol was flashing
red on the dash. The gears could move, but
only park worked.
We had to push the car into an empty spot.
After being off for an hour to cool down, it
started up normally and drove.
I’m worried it might happen again. What
would cause my engine to stall since my car is
so young?

I have had a similar problem with my Mazda CX3 Oct 2018 model. It only happens when the engine is warm after driving around for a while and then getting back in the car and it will briefly restart and then stall straight away and not start again until at least an hour later when the car has cooled down. The first time it did it I took it to mazda a few days later and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it ( 2 months ago) It did it again today and last weekend, so it will be going back to Mazda again this week.
