2014 MAZDA CX-5 Electrical System Problems

The car's electrical system doesn't fully turn off after being put in park and turning the ignition off. The electrical system stays on, despite the engine and ignition turned off. It's a BIG problem that I've seen a lot of other people report. And yet Mazda refuses to address the issue.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 86,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 190,000.

Mileage: 190,000

Auxiliary power will not turn off when vehicle is turned off. Radio , lights interior power , etc….. car turns off when button is pressed but interior power does not .

Car fails to shut off completely. The motor stops, but the electronics (dash, radio, etc.) and things like the A/C still are on. Searching forums shows it is a faulty gear shift sensor that detects that the car is in park.

The contact owns a 2014 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated that while attempting to turn off the vehicle, the vehicle failed to shutoff. The screen and vehicle remained powered on. The battery was drained, and the contact replaced the battery. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

We have had numerous times that the vehicle ignition system will not turn off after pushing the stop button. The motor will stop but the ignition and radio system stay on. The car must be restarted(sometimes numerous times) and shut down before the ignition system shuts down. I have seen many other owner's complaints about this same problem on (carcomplaints .com).

I as well as many other mazda cx5 owners have experienced the same issue where the suv will not power off when the push to start button is pressed. The suv requires you to power it back on and shut it off several times before it actually shuts down. The radio and other accessories will not shut off when the car is powered down. Resulting in serious issues possibly happening if the car is not shut down properly. Anyone could get in and start the vehicle back up if they wanted to. Stolen vehicles. Vehicles are unable to lock properly. Batteries are constantly being repurchased due to this issue.

There is a defect that leads to the car not turning off property. Reading on various forums, it seems this is a very common problem in Mazda CX-5s. I have spent over $1500 recently on this car, and now this? My battery dies overnight because the car doesn't not fully shut down in park. Again, this is all over the forums. People are getting stranded. It's terribly unsafe.

When the push button is pressed to turn the car off it will not always cut off. I have complained to the dealership often. They advised it is a known issue. It is now getting worse.

Car won’t turn off when you push the start/stop button. Have to turn it on and off several times shifting gears to get it to turn off. Then it drains your battery thus causing other issues.

My 2014 Mazda CX-5 will not shut off completely. I put it in park and turn off the vehicle and the radio and electrical stays on, this has drained my battery on more than one occasion and was actually stuck in the middle of nowhere for one of the incidents. This needs to be recalled after researching this there are HUNDREDS of people with the same year, same vehicle and same issue. This has been reported, but nothing has been done for over 4 years. Please see forum below where this issue is clearly documented. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t49115_ds799849

Over the past 2 weeks, it's be hard to turn the engine off. I put the car in park like normal, hit the engine off button. But then the car stays on and an alert on the dashboard says to put the car in park (even though it is already in park). Sometimes, taking the car out of park and then putting it back in park fixes the problem. Other times I have to do it several times or drive the car a little bit and then try again. It's been getting more frequent lately and happens several times a day.

The contact owns a 2014 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated while turning off the vehicle, she noticed the radio and the instrument cluster remained operational. The contact stated she was also unable to lock the doors. The contact stated she restarted the vehicle and manipulated the gear shifter several times to turn off the vehicle completely. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in park, the vehicle failed to turn off as intended. The contact continuously pressed the START/STOP button and brake pedal. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My 2014 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring has recently started experiencing an issue widely reported online related to the battery. The issue is the electrical/ignition system fails to turn the battery off when the vehicle is turned off. In other words, the car engine shuts down, but the accessory power (battery) remains on. This can be identified by the clock and dashboard display remaining on. This is a significant issue because unless the battery is turned off, it will become drained, and the car will fail to start. This can leave the driver stranded and the car incapacitated. It is very easy to fail to notice the accessory power is still on. I have reported the issue to Mazda at the customer line - 1800-222-5500 and they have no outstanding warranties or recalls related to this. My reference number is 1-4272020134. I have also contacted a local Mazda dealer and they are unfamiliar with the issue. Per customer reports, the issue is related to a faulty sensor on the battery. To reproduce the issue: 1) Put car in park 2) Push power button. Car engine turns off. Battery remains on. The only workaround is to turn the car back on, shift into different gears and turn power off. At some random iteration, it will power the battery off. There are numerous reports of this online, including - https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/t/cx-5-wont-fully-shut-off.123864884/ Solution - https://mazda.oemdtc.com/665/ignition-does-not-turn-off-when-pressing-startstop-button-2013-2014-mazda

The IGNITION DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN PRESSING START / STOP BUTTON. So you can't even turn the car off more then 1/2 the time. You have to disconnect the battery.

The auxillary power stays on after car is put into PARK and the engine is turned off. The car is not registering that it is in park. The auxillary power remains on. It takes several attempts of turning car on and back off again and moving the shifter before the car will turn off completely.

Ignition light stays on, car turns off but battery and dash lights stay on continuously. You have to repeatedly turn car off and on and raddle shifter to turn off, this causes depletion of batter and can DANGEROUSLY leave one or ones family stranded and in a bad situation. This problem has been stated by numerous consumers on the website. Contacted my mazda dealership and technitain agreed that they have come upon this issue quite a lot, charging for diagnostics and labor $100's of dollars, possible issues with break or parking switch. Problem can be possibly fixed but what if it occurs again a few months or year down the road, leading to a never ending viscous $bill$ cycle. I'm very concerned about a depleted battery, I also contacted cooperate and representative informed my conversation was recorded and will be hopefully looked into but as of yet nothing has been done, rep informed me to contact NHTSA.GOV and here I am. I was surprised of the many consumers on the web having this issue, I had been having numerous battery issues and was replaced...THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL BE INSTITUTED ASAP. A VEHICLE NOT SHUTTING OFF RESULTING IN A DEPLETED BATTERY THEN BEING STRANDED IS VERY CONCERNING, WORRISOME AND DANGEROUS IF THERE'S NO HELP AROUND.

The car will not shut off. If you put it in park and press the start/stop engine button the car radio and accessories are still on. You have to shift gears several times keeping foot on the brake and keep trying until it turns off.

When I put the car in park and push the button to shut it off only the engine shuts down. The auxiliary power (radio, etc) stays on and drains the battery. I have to restart it and drive it around, sometimes many times, before it will finally shut down. I looked online and found tons of complaints with many model years of this car for this same issue. Why is Mazda not doing a recall to fix this known issue?

Turn the car off--but it does not turn off. I put my foot on the brake and turning it off does not work. I have to shake and move the gear shifter aggressively for it to turn off and moving the car and reversing to get the car to turn off.

THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REALIZE IT IS IN ''PARK'. THE ISSUE IS WITH DEFECTIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SWITCH. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS.

THE CAR WON'T SHUT OFF WHEN PUT ON PARK AND THE START/STOP BUTTON GETS PUSHED THE PROBLEM SUPPOSEDLY LIES WITH A DEFECTIVE SHIFTER POSITION SENSOR LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE MAZDA AND DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT OFFICIALLY PRETEND IT'S NOT THERE

THE STARTER IGNITION BUTTON WILL TURN OFF THE ENGINE BUT FAIL TO TURN OFF THE RADIO AND THE LIGHTS. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS TO REPEATEDLY TURN ON THE IGNITION BUTTON, UNTIL IT TURNS OFF.

WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF (PUSH BUTTON), THE CAR DOES NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THE ELECTRONICS DO NOT SHUT OFF WITH THE CAR AND DRAIN THE BATTERY LEAVING YOU STRANDED THE NEXT TIME YOU TRY TO START THE CAR.

AND, THEN I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND MOVE THE CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE AND TURN THE WHEEL THIS HAVE TO BE MULTIPLE TIMES SOMETIMES ABOUT 10 TIMES TO GET THE CAR OFF. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN LATE AND A BATTERY REPLACEMENT. THIS IS HUGE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMERS AND OWNERS OF THE MAZDA.

WHEN I TURN OFF THE ENGINE, THE ELECTRONICS (LIGHTS, RADIO) IN THE CAR STAY ON AND THE DOORS WON'T LOCK IF I WANTED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. I'VE FOUND THAT, WHILE IN PARK, I NEED TO PULL THE GEARSHIFT HARD TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE CAR TO "REGISTER" THAT I'M ACTUALLY IN PARK. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT MAZDA RECOGNIZES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, BUT WON'T DO A RECALL ON IT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW. I'M ADDING AN ARBITRARY DATE BELOW.

WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK IT DOES NOT ALWAYS REGISTER COMPLETELY. THE GEAR IS CLEARLY IN PARK, THE DOORS UNLOCK, BUT WHEN I PUSH THE IGNITION OFF THE RADIO STAYS ON. THIS APPARENTLY HAPPENS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IS A FAULTY AT SHIFTER SWITCH (ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET). IT WILL OFTEN TAKE SOME FIDDLING AND 'AGGRESSIVELY' PUTTING IT INTO PARK SOMETIMES 15 TIMES BEFORE I ACTUALLY GET IT TO SHUT OFF. MAZDA HAS CHANGED THE WAY THEY MAKE THIS PART, BUT HAVEN'T ISSUED A RECALL.

WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR IT DOESN'T DO IT AND I CAN'T CLOSE THE DOORS I HAVE TO TURN ON AND TURN OFF MANY TIMES UNTIL IT WILL WORK. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS I CAN'T CLOSE THE DOORS

MY VEHICLE ELECTRONICS DOES NOT TURN OFF AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURN OFF DUE TO SHIFTER SWITCH - MAZDA (KDY0-46-040). VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40K MILES AND IS A CONCERN FOR NOT HAVING THE VEHICLE LONG. IT'S A SAFETY RISK AND WILL LEAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE FUTURE.

WE'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 4-MONTHS AND FINALLY HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED WHICH COSTED ME $340. WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PUSH BUTTON WHICH STARTS AND TURNS THE CAR ON/OFF. IT WILL START FINE BUT WHEN YOU GO TO TURN THE CAR OFF IT KILLS THE ENGINE BUT THE RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS STAY ON ? WE HAVE TO KEEP STARTING THE CAR ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND TRYING TO TURN IT OFF BEFORE IT FINALLY TURNS OFF EVERYTHING COMPLETELY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE GET INTO THE VEHICLE. I'M REALLY SHOCKED THAT MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PROBLEM ? THE DEALERSHIP ACTED LIKE THEY NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ? I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON NHTSA. PLEASE GET THEM TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM SO I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK ! THX YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I DO HAVE A COPY OF THE INVOICE WHERE I HAD IT REPAIRED.

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN I PLACE IT IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. IT CAUSES ME TO TURN ON THE ENGINE, MOVE THE VEHICLE'S SHIFT LEVEL, PLACE IT BACK IN PARK, AND TRY TURNING IT OFF AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 5 TO 10 MIN OF REPEATING THIS PROCESS IN ORDER TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE FOR OTHER MAZDA CX-5 OWNERS BASED ON THOUSANDS OF RELATED COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS DATING BACK TO AT LEAST 2015 ON GOOGLE AND BING. THIS EFFECTS THE CARS, BATTERY, ENGINE, SHIFT LEVER, AND ALSO MAKES IT UNCERTAIN IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE CAR TRULY IN PARK OR ON/OFF. THE ISSUE HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY BEFORE BUT IS NOW EVERYTIME I TRYING AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE! MAZDA USDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

IT'S COMPLETELY RANDOM AND IT HAS DRAINED MY CAR BATTERY TO THE POINT WHERE IT DIED AND MY CAR HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS FROM OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH THIS MAZDA. THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHARGE $145 JUST TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THIS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND A SAFETY LIABILITY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS MALFUNCTION. THEY SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE SWITCH UNIT.

IGNITION DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON. MINE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR PERIODICALLY. IT WAS CORRECTED BY PLACING IT IN PARK WITH SLIGHT ADDED FORCE. IT'S NOW ESCALATED TO THE POINT WHERE THE FORCE IS BECOMING EXCESSIVE AND MAY DAMAGE OTHER COMPONENTS. THE PROBLEM AND FIX IS LISTED HERE. HTTPS://MAZDA.OEMDTC.COM/665/IGNITION-DOES-NOT-TURN-OFF-WHEN-PRESSING-STARTSTOP-BUTTON-2013-2014-MAZDA IF YOU SEARCH IN GOOGLE '2014 MAZDA CX-5 IGNITION STAYS ON' YOU'LL SEE IT'S A COMMON ISSUE. WHEN PART KDY0-46-040 IS MALFUNCTIONING YOU ARE UNABLE TO SECURE YOUR CAR. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, THE ALARM WILL NOT ARM AND THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DRAIN IF YOU DO NOT MANUALLY TURN OFF THE RADIO.

MY WIFE COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW SHE TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND IT DIDN'T WORK ONE RANDOM TIME WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO TEST IT OUT. I WASN'T EVEN OUT OF MY BLOCK BEFORE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND EVERYTHING JUST STOPPED. I WAS GOING LESS THAN 10 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASHBOARD. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THE AT LIGHT, THE TPMS LIGHT, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED AND THIS COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE HAD IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AND NOW ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AT THAT POINT.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHEN PLACED INTO PARK POSITION (AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR IN THE GEARBOX ACCORDING TO ONLINE FORUMS). PROBLEM IS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THIS LEADS TO THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED AND NEEDING TO BE JUMPED. FORUMS WITH HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR STORIES WHERE THEIR VEHICLE WILL NOT PROPERLY SHUT OFF HAVE REVEALED THAT THERE IS A PART NUMBER FOR THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH/SENSOR (KDY0-46-040). MAZDA NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. FOR EXAMPLE, NO ONE SHOULD HAVE THEIR CAR PARKED VIA VALET AND DISCOVER THAT THEIR VEHICLE IS DEAD WHEN THEY RETURN TO IT (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS NO FAULT TO THE VALET DRIVER). I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

WENT IN FOR A SERVICE AROUND 55,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT NEW REAR BRAKES WERE NEEDED. GOT A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD GO A LITTLE LONGER. STARTED HEARING SQUEAKING, TOOK THEM BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO SAID THEY NEEDED REPLACING. REPLACED AT 59,000 MILES. WENT IN TODAY 7/26/18 AND WAS TOLD MY REAR BRAKES WERE AT 4% AND WOULD NEED REPLACING BY MY NEXT VISIT. THIS WOULD MEAN 2 REAR BRAKE REPLACEMENTS WITHIN 10,000 MILES. MY FRONT BRAKES ARE STILL FINE. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FOR THE CX 5, THERE A SEVERAL TSBS OUT. CALLED MAZDA WHO SAID THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT BRAKES ARE CONSIDERED A NORMAL PART OF WEAR AND TEAR. MY SECOND ISSUES IS THAT WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPT TO SHUT IF OFF BUT IT WILL NOT POWER OFF. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT PROBABLY EVERY 4TH OR 5TH TIME. I READ ONLINE THAT IT'S A TRANSMISSION SENSOR ISSUE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDS REPLACING. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE VERY PREVALENT AND I'M HOPING THERE CAN BE A RECALL ON BOTH.

DUE TO A FAULTY AT POSITION SWITCH (PART #KDY0-46-040) IN THE GEARSHIFT, MY VEHICLE WILL NOT RELIABLY FULLY TURN OFF. THE ISSUE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN IN ACCESSORY MODE UNTIL I RESTART THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPT TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIMES. THIS IS A DANGER TO DRIVERS SINCE IT COULD LEAVE THEM STRANDED WITH NO BATTERY CHARGE IF THEY MUST RESTART THEIR VEHICLE OVER AND OVER.

WHEN PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON, THE IGNITION OFTEN WILL NOT TURN OFF. ALTHOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN 'P' POSITION AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF NORMALLY, THE IGNITION WILL STAY ON (IN ACCESSORY MODE).

AFTER PUTTING MY 2014 MAZDA CX-5 TOURING AT IN PARKING MODE/GEAR AND PRESSING START/STOP ENGINE BUTTON, IT DOES NOT SHUTOFF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS/ACCESSORIES. ENGINE SHUTS OFF, BUT ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS/ACCESSORIES STAYS ON THAT RESULTS IN DRAINING THE BATTERY. CAR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT IT'S IN PARK MODE/GEAR. HENCE CAR CAN NOT BE LOCKED WHEN STEPPING AWAY FROM CAR. ITS THE SAFETY ISSUE IF CAR IS NOT READING THAT ITS FULLY PARKED AND IT MAY START ROLLING/MOVING ON ITS OWN ON SLOPE SURFACE. MAZDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE BUT DOES NOT WANT TO DO RECALL ON IT. FOLLOWING IS FROM MAZDA SERVICE BULLETIN: "WHEN PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON, THE IGNITION MAY NOT TURN OFF ON SOME VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A GATE- TYPE AT SHIFTER. ALTHOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN 'P' POSITION AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF NORMALLY, THE IGNITION MAY STAY ON (IN ACCESSORY MODE). THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY A WORN SWITCH UNIT. TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN, THE SWITCH UNIT MATERIAL HAS BEEN CHANGED TO IMPROVE WEAR RESISTANCE. MODIFIED SWITCH UNITS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED AS NEW SERVICE PARTS." I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OWNERS OF MAZDA CX-5 AND MAZDA 6 HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BY THEIR FAULTY PART(AT SHIFTER SWITCH). SHIFT GEAR SWITCH SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH LESS THAN 35000 MILES. MAZDA SHOULD OWN THIS ISSUE AND DO A RECALL ON ALL MAZDA SWITCHES. CONSUMERS DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF THEIR MISTAKES/FAULTS. FAULTY PART NUMBER: KDY0-46-040

MANY TIMES WHEN PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IT DOES NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND LEAVES THE RADIO AND OTHER ACCESSORIES ON.

I STOPPED THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TRIED RESTARTING. WHEN IT DID, HALF OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON IN PARK, INCLUDING THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, AND WHEN PUT IN DRIVE THE REST OF THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I TRIED THE RIGHT SIGNAL AGAIN (IN PARK) AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED, WITH THE END RESULT OF THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. AS I DROVE WITH THESE LIGHTS ON, NEW WARNINGS CAME ON AND OFF, INCLUDING LOSS OF POWER TO MY STEERING(MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN), ABS, SPEED MONITORING, TIRE PRESSURE, BLIND SPOT MONITORING, HORN, AND BASICALLY ANYTHING ELSE CONTROLLED ELECTRONICALLY.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2015 AS A NEW VEHICLE LEFT OVER FROM 2014. REPEATEDLY, WHEN DECELERATING, THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO REV HIGHER DESPITE PRESSING THE BRAKE AND KEEPING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND I'VE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND MAZDA THAT THIS IS HOW THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED. I FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN NEEDED AS IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE IS PUSHING TO INCREASE SPEED WHEN I'M TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THE ENGINE GOES INTO OVERDRIVE FOR FAST ACCELERATION SUCH AS ENTERING A HIGHWAY AND THEN A RAPID DECELERATION IS REQUIRED SUCH AS WHEN ENCOUNTERING SUDDEN TRAFFIC. I'VE ALSO NOTICED OTHER ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (BLIND SPOT INDICATORS WORKING INCONSISTENTLY; HD STEREO FADING IN AND OUT; BAD RECEPTION ON STRONG RADIO STATIONS) AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE ALL RELATED TO A BAD COMPUTER. IT SEEMS THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT CONTROLS ALL ASPECTS OF THE ENGINE'S OPERATION.

SHUT THE CAR OFF AND ON AND PERFORMED LIKE NORMAL.TOOK IT THE DEALER TO HAVE CHECKED OUT.THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND SAYS IT WAS MY K&N FILTER I HAD, WHICH IS FALSE SINCE I'VE HAD THE FILTER FOR THE LAST 20K MILES ON THE CAR AND ANOTHER 30K ON MY 2012 MAZDA 3.LET IT GO THEN THE FOLLOWING DID IT AGAIN AND BUT THIS TIME IT HAPPENED TWICE IN A ROW AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON.GOT THE CODE OF P0301 WHICH IS A CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE ISSUE.TAKE IT BACK AGAIN AND THEY KEEP FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS.

THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND ALL OTHER WARNING LIGHTS(SBC, ABS, ETC.) CAME ON. I CALLED THE MAZDA SERVICE FOR AN APPOINTMENT SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND I WENT TO SERVICE FOR A PROBLEM, THE GUY WHO IN CHARGE TOLD ME SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME OFF WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING. SO THEY JUST DID CHANGE MY OIL AND LEFT. SECOND TIME HAPPENED WITH SAME PROBLEM, I WENT TO MY BUDDY(MECHANIC) AT OTHER CAR SERVICE HE TOLD ME THE GUY TOLD ME WAS WRONG BECAUSE EVERY CAR HAS A COMPUTER CHIP THAT RECORDS EVERY PROBLEM. ANYWAY, MY BUDDY DIAGNOSED MY MAZDA CX-5 AND TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAS A BAD OR WEAK TRANSMISSION SIGNAL THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE SHUT OFF SO I WENT TO MAZDA SERVICE FOR SECOND TIME WITH SAME PROBLEM, THEY DIAGNOSED AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE WEAK TRANSMISSION SIGNAL SO THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM IT. ON APRIL 26, 2014, APPROXIMATELY 5:00AM I WAS DRIVING ON HWY. ABOUT 60 MPH AND SUDDEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS INCLUDE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THIS TIME ENGINE DIDN'T SHUT OFF BUT TRANSMISSION HAD NO CONTROL TO ITSELF. I WAS SO SCARE AND ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE WITH ME GOT SCARED ALSO BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING HARD EARLY MORNING. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO SERVICE ROAD THEN I MADE A COMPLETED STOP BUT THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T START WITH 1ST GEAR. IT FELT LIKE IT STUCK ON 6TH GEAR SO I HAD TO PRESS ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO KICK TO IT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME HAPPEN TO ME I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH MY CX-5. I TOOK IT TO THE THIRD TIME SERVICE FOR SAME PROBLEM ON APRIL 28, 2014. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM FOR ANY OTHER CARS THAT I'VE EVER DRIVEN SPECIALLY A BRAND NEW CAR. ANYONE WHO HAS BOUGHT CX-5 HAVE SAME PROBLEM SHOULD MAKE A COMPLAINT. *JS
