Hello,

I own a Mazda Axela Japanese Imported 2006 model - 1.5litres. Car vibrates/shakes mildy when I am slowing down (not by braking, but by just taking foot off the accelerator) at high speed. Is this common problem in this car model? What can I look for? My experience is this happens only when decelarting between 100km to 80 km.

Thanks in advance.

There are many possibilities. You need to get a mechanic to check all suspension bushes and engine/gearbox mountings for excessive wear or movement, check the cv joints for excessive play (although this is normally felt when accelerating), also check if there are any mechanical problems with the transmission or engine.
