Stalling on other Mazda6 years
No other Mazda6 model year has enough reports of stalling for a sheet of its own. See every Mazda6 year.
What this problem usually is
Stalling reports are some of the most alarming on the site. The engine quits while the car is moving, sometimes on a highway and sometimes at a stop. Many owners say it restarted right away and the dealer found no stored code, which is part of why these complaints pile up before anything gets fixed.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the battery (12 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the electrical system cover the 2014 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
When driving the affected vehicles in heavy rain or in deep puddles, the alternator belt may slip causing the Power Control module (PCM) to incorrectly assume failure of the charging system.
In the affected vehicles, it is possible to fill the fuel tank beyond its rated capacity.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2014 Mazda Mazda6 that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Some customers may expierience one or more of the following: ¯· intermittent no start ¯· engine stall ¯· many DTC's stored ¯· no communication with the PCM. This may be caused by a poor C-11 or C-12 electrical connection.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 28 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
