We have a 2017 Mazda3 with only 6000KM on it...Drove around town this morning, everything was fun...Fill up the tank at Costco and did some shopping...Done shopping, start the car, nothing unusual...no warnng lights and everything seemed to be fine...Trying to exit the parking lot, was driving around 20km/h...all of sudden, the engine stumbled and four lights came up,Check Engine Light, Traction control warning light, tire pressure light (was flashing and then solid) and SBS warning light...
Stopped the car and check tires, all seemed fine and could not figure out why...
The Mazda dealership is close by so we decided to drive it to the dealership...On the way, the AC seems to be not working either...the engine keeps stumbling and for a while I found it is difficult to accelerate...Luckily, we made to the dealership no problem...The service department check the code and told us that it is something related to the mass air flow censor...they cleared all codes , said it might be just a "glitch" and asked us to drive for couples of days and see whether the problem will appear again...If it appears again, we can take it back and they will investigate it (today they are fully booked, so won't be able to do so)
We drove about 10km home; AC is working again and everything seems to be working fine again...
Has anybody experienced similar situation before and what might be causing this? Is it sitll safe for us to drive the car?

the engine stumbles in a way that you feel like somebody is kicing you from the back of the car when you try to accelerate...when you apply the brake, before stopping, you feels like someone is kicking you from the front of the car....

Check MAF connector cables to see if there's any broken ones (wires exposed).

Wires look OK?

this one time while driving my dash flashed all the lights at me and i lost RPM and SPEED readings for about a split second. almost as if the car was losing power. but then it all came back and haven't experienced it again. this was on a 2010 mazda 3 with 240k km

Almost exactly one year later after they simply clear the code last time, this is happenning again...I am leaving the car at the dealership now and they will take a look at it coming Monday!
