2014 MAZDA CX-5 Unknown Or Other Problems

CAR ACCESSORIES WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN I PUT VEHICLE IN PARK. THIS IS DANGEROUS DUE TO CAUSING THE BATTERY TO COMPLETELY DRAIN LEAVING ME STRANDED.

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 .

In the past year the car has consistently given a “Set to P” message when parked and already shifted to Park, and doesn’t completely turn off (though the engine does). We have to turn the car back on, jam the car to P and try again. Internet tells me this was recalled for 2013-2014 cx-5s just before vehicles starting with the same VIN info as mine.

UNKNOWN - A few months ago, I started to have an issue when turning off the vehicle. After putting the vehicle in park and pressed to turn off the vehicle, the radio/GPS screen would stay on and a warning message stating the car must be in ‘P’ark. I would restart the car, put it in neutral, turned it off, but the same message kept popping up and would beep at me when trying to close the door. I jiggle the stick multiple times and tried different ways to turn off the car, now taking as many as 10 times before the radio/GPS screen turns off and the message goes away. I made an appt with the closest dealer, but I have to wait for 4 weeks for the car to be inspected & corrected. This seem like a safety hazard not knowing if the car is actually in park and turned off so the battery doesn’t drain. There should be a recall issued by Mazda to correct this issue as many people have posted the same problem over many years.

When the vehicle is put in park and the button is pressed to turn off the vehicle, the radio display screen stays on. I have to recrank the car, put it in a different gear, and then back into park and try again. Sometimes I do this process up to 10 times in order for the display screen to turn off. When the display screen stays on, the battery is drained within hours.

A couple of months ago we started to have an issue when trying to turn off our vehicle. A warning message stating the car must be be in 'P' to turn off keeps popping up even though the shift stick is in the correct position. We have to jiggle the stick multiple times before the car turns off. This can be a safety hazard if the car is in fact not safely in the park position after being able to turn off the car. The vehicle was recently serviced for an oil change and we were reminded of the issue and were told this is a known issue. They recommended to change the shift switch to resolve it.

2014 Mazda CX5 will not turn off, keeps telling me to put it in park - then it tells me key fob battery low, which it is not. I have to turn the car on/off, on/off, on/off to get it to shut off.

The car wouldn’t fully turn off once it parks. Have to keep playing turn on/off game until it fully turn off. And apparently Mazda know about the issue but refuse to do anything. Other people are saying it’s a engine sensor issue.

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 car will not shut off while in park when you push the start/stop button. it stays in ACC mode. It takes multiple times to completely shut the car off.

Water is able to get into the back lift gate and has caused the latch to deteriorate and go bad making it unable to be opened and causing a safety issue for the consumer

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 VEHICLE FAILS TO TURN OFF AUXILIARY POWER WHEN THE ENGINE IS DISENGAGED AFTER VEHICLE IS IN PARK. THIS PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM LOCKING AND RESULTS IN A DRAINED BATTERY. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING HOME, THIS WAS LATE AT NIGHT, NO TRAFFIC, AND WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT OR EXPLOSION, AFTER WE MADE SURE THE KIDS WERE ALRIGHT, WE REALIZED OUR SUNROOF HAD A BIG HOLE IN IT AND WE WERE SITTING IN SHARDS OF GLASS. THE SUNROOF OPENS 2 WAYS, IT SLIDES BACK OR THE BACK LIFTS UP TO PROVIDE VENTING. THE GLASS WAS LIFTED UP IN THE BACK. AFTER WE REGAINED COMPOSURE AND WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER ON A 40 MPH ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC IN SIGHT, WE REALIZED IT LOOKED AS IF THE GLASS EXPLODED IN AN UPWARD MOTION. THE SOUND AND IMPACT AND SHARDS OF GLASS CERTAINLY SCARED AND SCARRED ALL IN THE CAR INCLUDING MYSELF, WIFE AND OUR 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THE SPECIFICS ARE, WE HAD JUST TURNED LEFT ONTO AN EASTBOUND ROAD, WE HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN UP TO SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AGAIN, THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES, ONLY OPEN FIELDS, WE STARTED TO THINK THAT SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A SHOT AT US. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW.

VEHICLE MOVING UNDER 5 MPH IN A CITY PARKING GARAGE. WHILE ENTERING A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS STRIKING THE CEMENT WALL BARRIER AT A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET AWAY. BOTH FOOT BRAKE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WERE APPLIED. ALL DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS TURNED ON UNTIL AUTO "OFF" BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED. VEHICLE MILEAGE = 37880. NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. AUTO WAS TAKEN SAME DAY TO AUTHORIZED (USAA) COLLISION REPAIR FACILITY. REPAIR ESTIMATE AND PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE NOT PROCESSES AT THIS WRITING. DIRVER HAD SEAT BELT ON AND NO INJURIES REPORTED. NO PASSENGERS.

WHEN PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON, THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN OFF SOME TIMES. ALTHOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN 'P' POSITION AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF NORMALLY, THE IGNITION IS STAYING ON (IN ACCESSORY MODE). PROBLEM IS THOUGHT TO BE A WORN SWITCH UNIT.

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE BATTERY TO THE CAR AND ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 6 MONTHS AND IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I DISCOVERED THAT YOU HAVE TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER IN PARK MANY TIMES BEFORE TRYING TO SHUT OF THE ENGINE AGAIN. AT TIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS PROCESS 5-6 TIMES TO FINALLY GET MY CAR TO SHUT OFF WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE ON CHAT FORUMS WITH THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM ON THEIR MAZDA CARS. IT IS BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE SHIFTER SWITCH PART KDYO-46-040. MY MAZDA DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO REPLACE THIS PART NEXT WEEK FOR $250. WHEN I CALLED MAZDA CORPORATION THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS EXPENSE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE MAZDA HAS INSTALLED A DEFECTIVE PART IN NOT JUST MINE BUT MANY PEOPLES CARS.

MY 2014 CX-5 WILL NOT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. AFTER PUTTING INTO PARK AND PUSHING THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF BUT THE AUX POWER TO THE RADIO AND DASH DO NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND BACK TO PARK MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WILL TURN OFF COMPLETELY.

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.

MY VEHICLE DOES NOT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN THE START BUTTON IS PUSHED. IT GOES INTO AUXILIARY MODE. IF LEFT THE VEHICLE WILL STAY RUNNING UNTIL THE BATTERY DIES. THIS CAN BE RESOLVED AT TIMES BY RESTARTING THE CAR, SHIFTING IT OUT OF PARK, BACK INTO PARK AND THEN SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AGAIN..THIS MAY NEED TO BE DONE MORE THAN ONCE AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE CAR A LITTLE TO GET IT TO WORK.

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE OFTEN DOES NOT FULLY TURN OFF (GOES INTO ACCESSORY MODE). IT SEEMS TO BE A SHIFTER ISSUE, OR IT DOES NOT KNOW IT'S IN PARK. I HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR REPORTS ON THIS AT HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T49115_DS799849

VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO DRIVE & IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD 03/20/2018 AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS. ALSO UNABLE TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF ONCE IT IS PARKED. CONTINUOUS ISSUES TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF ONCE IT IS PARKED. LIGHTS STAYS ON THE DASHBOARD & RADIO CONTINUE TO PLAY MUSIC. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR TWO YEARS NOW TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND MAZDA IS NOW TELLING ME THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF MY PHONE CHARGER IS WRAPPED AROUND THE GEAR STICK WHY IT WILL NOT GO INTO PARK AND THE ISSUE IS THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY HAVING ISSUES TO TURNING OFF.. I HAVE A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE CHARGER WRAPPED AROUND THE GEAR STICK AND THE VEHICLE PUT INTO PARK WITH NO ISSUES. I ALSO BOUGHT THE PHONE CHARGER LONG AFTER THIS ISSUE STARTED. THEY CHANGED THE SHIFTER 03/2018 BECAUSE IT WAS NO GOOD AND THEY CHARGED ME FOR AN ITEM THEY ARE AWARE OF HAS ISSUES. I HAD TO GOOGLE HOW TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF 11/27/2018.

TAKATA RECALL. FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS MY 2014 MAZDA CX-5 WILL NOT SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK. NOW WHAT WAS ONCE A MONTH OR WEEK IS NOW SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. THE RADIO, LIGHTS, AND BEEPING WILL STAY ON AS IF THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN PUT INTO PARK. ITS PARKED AND NOT MOVING BUT EVERYTHING STAYS ON. I WILL HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON PUT IT IN DRIVE TO PARK AND REVERSE TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WILL ACKNOWLEDGE PARKED.

MAZDA ISSUED RECALL ON REAR HATCH STRUT. MAZDA CLAIMS TO HAVE SWITCHED OUT STRUT ON RECALL SERVICE. POSSIBLE THEY DID NOT REPLACE DEFECT OR REPLACED WITH ANOTHER DEFECTED STRUT. STRUT FAILED WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES, 18 MONTHS POST REPAIR, ALMOST SERIOUSLY INJURING MY WIFE. REQUEST A PROPER FIX, WAS TOLD THEY OFFER ONLY A 12 MONTH WARRANTY., BUT THAT IF THE VEHICLLE WAS BROUGHT TO DELEARSHIP THEY WOULD FIX FREE OF CHARGE. UPON ARRIVING FOR REPAIR WAS TOLD WE WOULD BE CHARGED. WHAT KIND OF LONG TERM RECALL FIX HAS ONLY A YEAR WARRANTY? VERY QUESTIONABLE BUSINESS PRACTICE IN INITIAL REPAIR AND DISHONEST ESTIMATES.

Mileage: 65,000

AFTER RECALL AND TAKING IN TO REPAIR ON DANGER OF HATCHBACK CLOSING PREMATURELY, I NOW HAVE A LEAK IN THE HATCHBACK AFTER HARD RAIN. WAS THIS REPAIR THE CAUSE OF LEAK OR IS THIS SOMETHING ELSE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED? WATER POURS OUT OF BOTTOM SIDES OF BACK DOOR WHEN OPENED.

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.

KEYLESS IGNITION SYSTEM WILL NOT SHUT OFF WITH KEY FOB OR START/STOP BUTTON. THE CAR SHUTS OFF, BUT THE ACCESSORY STAYS ON CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND DIE. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AS IT IS BEING TURNED OFF. SEARCHING ONLINE MANY MAZDA OWNERS EXPRESS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MAZDA DOING NOTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY KEYLESS SYSTEM BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN I PUSH THE CAR OFF BUTTON AND GO TO GET OUT OF CAR A WARNING BEEP GETS MY ATTENTION THAT THE DASH IS STILL ON. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO GET EVERYTHING TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY IS TO RESTART THE CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE AND I MAY HAVE TO DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN.

RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH "SET TO P TO TURN OFF POWER". MY 2014 CX-5, WOULD NOT TOTALLY TURN OFF THE IGNITION. AUXILIARY POWER REMAINED ON.SO RADIO ETC. STAYED ON. KDY0-46-040 PARIS1 POSTED ONE TSB WHICH IS RELATED TO THE INFERIOR "SWITCH UNIT", P/N: KDY0-46-040, IN GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY. BUT LIKE MADAR AND PARIS1, I ALSO REMEMBER THERE'S ANOTHER PUSH-BUTTON ENGINE START/STOP SWITCH TSB FOR SIMILAR ISSUES BUT CAN'T FIND IT RIGHT NOW. YOUR DEALER SEEMS TO FOLLOW THE TSB WITH INFERIOR "SWITCH UNIT" IN GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY, SO DO PRINT THE TSB OUT AND HOPE FOR THE BEST AS I BELIEVE MAZDA CANADA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE BILL AS MAZDA KNOWINGLY PUT A BAD PART IN THERE. DON'T LET THEM REPLACE THE SELECT LEVEL ASSEMBLY KD31-46-100D、GHR5-46-100C LIKE MENTIONED IN THE TSB THAT'D BE A WASTE OF MONEY.

Mileage: 60,000

WHEN PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON, MY IGNITION DOES NOT TURN OFF ALTHOUGH THE SHIFTER IS IN THE "P" POSITION AND THE ENGINE SHITS OFF NORMALLY. IF I TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON, JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, AND PUSH THE STOP BUTTON AGAIN, IT IS USUALLY SUCCESSFUL. IT APPEARS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A WORN SWITCH UNIT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. IT IS AN ONGOING CONCERN, NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

Mileage: 95,000

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND TRY TO TURN OFF THE CAR, THE BATTERY STILL STAYS ON (RADIO, ETC). I'VE HAD MY CAR'S SELECTOR SWITCH REPLACED AT A COST TO ME ($300) AFTER THE DEALER SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW HAVING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I AM A MOM WITH 2 LITTLE KIDS AND I AM PETRIFIED OF BEING STUCK IN THIS CAR THAT WON'T TURN OFF. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE CAR ACTING IN THIS ACTION BUT AM UNABLE TO ATTACH IT IN THIS FORUM. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO EMAIL IT.

HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF: ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, BUT CENTER CONSOLE (RADIO CONSOLE) DOES NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN IN PARK. STARTING THE CAR UP AGAIN, SHIFTING TO ANOTHER GEAR, PUTTING BACK INTO PARK AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF AGAIN USUALLY FIXES ISSUE BUT CAN TAKE UP TO 10X TO ACCOMPLISH! IF YOU DON'T GET THE RADIO TO SHUT OFF, THE BATTERY WILL DIE.

ON THREE OCCASIONS, WHILE PARKING MY VEHICLE AND REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, MY VEHICLE SLIPPED AND AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED FORWARD WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MAY 17, 2018 WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY VEHICLE AND IT AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO 2 POLES THAT WHERE PLACED IN FRONT OF A DOORWAY IN THE PARKING LOT. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THE POWER BUTTON ON THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN I PRESS THE OFF BUTTON. IN ORDER FOR THE POWER TO TURN OFF, I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY PRESS THE BRAKE, MOVE THE PARKING GEAR BACK AND FORTH AND PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE POWER SHUTS OFF.

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND GO TO TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WON'T TURN OFF. I THEN HAVE TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND FORCEFULLY PUSH FORWARD AND LEFT (SOMETIMES 5+ TIMES) AND THEN EVENTUALLY IT WILL ALLOW ME TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND I SAW THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST YEAR.

THE HEADREST TILTING FORWARD IS TENSING MY NECK AND SHOULDERS SIGNIFICANTLY. I CANNOT GET COMFORTABLY POSITIONED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY AN ISSUE WHEN DRIVING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE. I HAD A CERVICAL FUSION AND THE FORWARD TILT OF THE HEADREST CAUSES MY HEAD TO TILT FORWARD UNCOMFORTABLY. AND I AM FORCED TO TILT THE SEAT BACK MORE SO THE HEADREST DOESN'T TOUCH MY HEAD, WHICH REDUCES BACK SUPPORT AND IS LESS SAFE THAN BEING MORE UPRIGHT. MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE WAS A 2001 DAKOTA. THOSE HEADRESTS WERE INLINE WITH THE SEAT BACK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE TILT IS FOR SAFETY, BUT IT IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT I'M LOOKING INTO WAYS TO ALTER IT. I'VE TRIED REVERSING THE HEADREST BUT NOW MY HEAD IS 4-5" AWAY.

ON 7/23/15, MY KEY FOB WOULDN'T WORK UNLESS I PRESS IT UP AGAINST THE START/STOP BUTTON, THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIME AND I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT. THE ODD THING WAS AFTER IT STARTED AND STILL IN PARK, THE VEHICLE AUTO LOCKED THE DOORS. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT, I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AS NORMAL AND WENT TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FOR MY WIFE. THE DOOR UNLOCK FUNCTION DIDN'T WORK, IT DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY KEY FOB WITHIN THE VEHICLE OR MY WIFE'S FOB OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO SEE IF IT WORK THEN, STILL NO RESPOND TO ALL THREE (DOOR PANEL BUTTON, INSIDE FOB OR OUTSIDE FOB). ONLY AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON DID THE LOCK WORK CORRECTLY. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND ADDRESSED.

WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR I NOTICED A MARK IN THE CENTER OF ON MY WINDSHIELD JUST UNDER THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I REALIZED IT WAS A CRACK AND WHEN I GOT OUT TO INSPECT IT DISCOVERED THAT IS WAS ABOUT 6 INCHES. IT WAS HIDDEN FROM THE INSIDE BY ALL THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ATTACHMENTS. I COULDN'T LOCATE WHERE SOMETHING HAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE SAFELITE TECH WHO CAME OUT TO SEE IF IT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED SAID SHE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A CLEAN CRACK AND SAID IT WAS TOO LARGE TO REPAIR. I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT REPLACED BEFORE GOING OUT OF TOWN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. WHEN I GOT BACK THE CRACK HAD GROWN ANOTHER 12 INCHES JUST WHILE SITTING OUTSIDE. IT WAS IN THE SUN FOR PART OF EACH DAY. THE TECHNICIAN WHO REPLACED MY WINDSHIELD RAN A BALL POINT PEN DOWN THE CRACK AND IT DID HIT A SPOT THAT APPARENTLY WAS FROM SOMETHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD, BUT YOU COULDN'T SEE IT JUST BY LOOKING. THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING MAKES IT APPEAR THAT MAZDA IS MANUFACTURING INFERIOR WINDSHIELDS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF A WINDSHIELD THAT WOULD CRACK THAT RAPIDLY OR CLEANLY. *JS
