2018 MAZDA CX-5 Service Brakes Problems

Sometimes, the breaks will not go all the way down to the floor and act like theyre not working. it's very odd and only does it once in a while. i have constant issues with the technology in the car. it changes my music, the buttons get stuck and my it acts up. my aunt has the same model and is running into the same issues. i never received a letter in the mail about the last recall and have had issues where it doesnt seem like my engine is getting the power it once did. this was early on after i got the car. my gas mileage has significally decreased even after oil changes.

While driving through town the braking system malfunctioned and the car came to a stop in the middle of the road with messages on dash saying the smart city braking support was malfunctioning as well as brake assist. Engine light came on as well as traction control light right after the car coming to a sudden hard braking stop. Drove straight to shop to check engine code which was p0882. I am so afraid of this happening on the highway with my daughter in the car. There is a recall for this system but my car isn’t under the recall so I'm sure there are others that are having the issue but aren’t covered under the recall either.

Two bolts simultaneously dislodged brake caliper which, in turn, disconnected brake fluid hose resulting in loss in brake responsiveness.

Certified Mazda cx5 sold with faulty wheel bearing and had to be back in service less than 24 hours from purchase. They failed to replace the piece of engine after 35.000 maintenance and another dealer found 5 areas that needed work 3 weeks later. Brake warning system went off took5 days to determine it was a dead switch and replaced exactly one month later Brake system warning goes off after car was In park and off for 25 minutes at the airport. I was told that I was fine to drive it despite the manual clearly saying do not drive if Brake warning lights go on. And it was supposed to have been repaired. The dealership expected me to believe that a rubber mat set off the high tech Brake system this is ridiculous They bought back car did not return the 5000 down payment or 14000 trade in and refused to honor the store warranty of buy back for life KBB 125 of trade in value. They refused to do anything to cancel warranty but then [XXX] canceled all 3 and had no authority or permission by me to illegally cancel my warranty and refuse to provide the documentation that the warranty company insist the dealer has to provide. There is no record of my ownership of this vehicle when VIN is run ir the excessive amount of damage to the car by Koons Mazda silver spring INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Parking brake system malfunction. Flashing brake light and the parking exclamation point light on. When I try to release the emergency parking brake it continues to light up on the dashboard as well as yellow flashing light on the physical brake similar problem with 2016 model. Seen multiple people with similar problem but no solution Restarting the car multiple times makes the light go away eventually

Calipers sticking causing brakes to wear down every 3 months.

I had my brakes replaced and when they reactivated the parking brake, it's only working on one side of the car. The mechanic informed me that the car has a faulty actuator and this is a very common problem with my car.

The engine has a massive oil leak that seems to be more common than Mazda will admit. The safety-related issue is the oil pours out like pancake syrup which can be bad for other drivers, the environment and cause road asphalt to break down at a rapid pace. I also don't have a warranty. When I consulted Mazda all they wanted to do is charge me $7,000 for a new engine from all the research I found on the internet. This is a problem that is affecting many people because when you only have one vehicle and have no way to make money. Most people will just keep adding oil to keep it going. Many customers are left with a car payment with no way out and a car they can't really drive other than short distances. Something needs to be done to hold them accountable for this common problem. I don't know anyone that can afford a $ 40,000-yard brick. If we can hold big pharma accountable why not vehicle manufactories.

Brakes failed when at complete stop car lurched forward about 2 car lengths

Car has 38000 miles and the caliber needed replaced yesterday. Brakes started grinding a day before that slightly in the morning by the time I got off work and drove home it was so loud I was terrified to break at all. Mechanic said he’s not seen calipers seize up like that in a newer model car.

On 11/28/2021, my vehicle suddenly showing five warnings 1, front camera sensor malfunction, 2, smart brake system malfunction, 3, forward smart city brake support malfunction, 4, HBC/LAS system malfunction, and 5, SCBC malfunction. I have no idea which part was go wrong, but this is not the first time my vehicle shows the same warning. Back to 12/20/2019, my vehicle has a same warning showed, I bring my vehicle to dealer to check but after they check, they told me nothing wrong. After two year the same problem come out again, I am very concern about the safety of my vehicle. The first time having a issue was my vehicle just a year old, and today the same issue come out again. Please help me to look up my vehicle is it any part has to recall and need to fix it. Thank you

I find I have to put my foot down on the gas pedal to the floor to make it literally go at times. Ive heard this cloaking noise several times like its getting ready to conk out. The brakes seems to me don't stop as they should at times I have to go in hard on the brake pedal. The air conditioner does not blow cold an see where previous owner had same issue 2 yrs straight from looking the the service invoices that was left in the truck. The sensor detection does not always work to let me know car/person is around. Coleman Taylor Transmission informed me that this thing does have a issue, the rpm are not as they should be. When I took it back to Kia Gossett about the brakes the used mgr drove it made it seems there were no issues as well as Norcross Mazda. Previous owner invoice show brakes were a concern as well. Had I known there was a prior recall on the PCM I would never bought this JUNK!

ISSUE WAS A FROZEN CALIPER BRACKET ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WHICH RESULTED IN CREATING EXCESSIVE HEAT AND PREMATURE WEAR OF THE PADS AND ROTORS

Mileage: 10

REAR DRIVERS SIDE CALIPER BECOMES STUCK WHEN ELECTRIC BRAKE WHEN DISENGAGED CAUSING OVER HEATING OF ROTOR AND EXCESS HEAT TO THE WHEEL RESULTING IN PREMATURE WEAR OF ROTOR AND BRAKE PADS AND ALSO COULD LOSE BREAKING CAPABILITY I HAVE MADE AN APPT WITH DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE ISSUE ON JULY 6TH

MADE A SLOW RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING PLACE TO PICK UP MY DOGS AT THE GROOMER, WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP, THE CAR ACCELERATED LURCHING FORWARD. I THEN TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND REAPPLIED INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN THE CAR SPED UP AND WAS ONLY STOPPED WHEN I HIT A BRICK BUILDING. I HAD TWO DASH WARNINGS "FRONT CAMERA SENSOR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" AND "FORWARD SMART CITY BREAD SUPPORT MALFUNCTION" I AM NOT CERTAIN HOW FAST THE CAR WAS MOVING WHEN I HIT THE BUILDING BUT THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR IS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED. FURTHER THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE PHOTOS OF BOTH THE COLLISION DAMAGE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS. THE DEALERSHIP REQUESTED THEY RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG CLAIMING THE ACCIDENT WAS MY FAULT AS I MUST HAVE PUT MY FOOT ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS AT THE SAME TIME. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THE ALSO STATED THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT NOT THE CAUSE. I AM ONLY GRATEFUL I WAS NOT PULLING INTO A SPACE CLOSER TO THE DOOR AS I WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH A PLATE GLASS WINDOW AND MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY TO ANYONE STANDING IN THE LOBBY.

WHILE LIGHT BRAKING, CAR BRAKES JAM... CAUSING UNINTENDED STOP. DANGEROUS. AT NO TIME WAS A CODE FLAGGED. MENTIONED TO GIRL AT DESK WHEN IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES. WHEN CAR WHEN IN FOR SERVICE. LADT SERVICE I BELIEVE CAR WAS PUT ON DIAGNOSTICS. WAS TOLD NOTHING FOUND. BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN, & DEALERSHIP TELLS ME CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM...I CALLED A MECHANIC OUTSIDE OF MAZDA. SPOKE ON PHONE WITH MASTER MECHANIC. & DESCRIBED PROBLEM..HE INFORMED ME PROBLEM WAS A SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. CAR SHUTS DOWN & LOCKS. BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO FAST NO CODE IS GENERATED. SAID IS SERIOUS PROBLEM.

DRIVING IN THE CITY WHILE A CAR IN FRONT IS TURNING RIGHT AND WELL OUT OF THE CARS FUTURE PATH, THE SMART CITY BRAKE FEATURE WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH TO BRAKE. THERE IS NO NEED TO BRAKE AS THE CAR IN FRONT IS TURNING OUT OF THE WAY. VERY ANNOYING AND UPSETS MY WIFE AS A PASSENGER. RADAR NEEDS REFLASHED AND THE BEAM WIDTH BE SMALLER. CAR SHOULD SEE THAT THE CAR IS LEAVING THE RADAR PATH AND SHOULD NOT START BEEP. THIS HAPPENS ALOT.

Mileage: 14,700

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND THERE IS A CAR STOPPED IN FRONT, I WILL START TO BRAKE LIGHTLY AND THEN INCREASE BRAKING IF NEEDED. THREE TIMES THE CAR HAS STOPPED ITSELF WITH MAZDA'S "SMART CITY BRAKE" FEATURE. I HAD SPACE TO STOP IN TIME, BUT THE CAR'S SCB TAKES OVER AND VIOLENTLY BRAKES THE CAR TO A STOP AN INCREASES THE CHANCE OF A REAR END COLLISION FROM A CAR FOLLOWING ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I HAD CONTROL AND COULD STOP IN TIME AND THE VEHICLE'S ALGORITHM SAYS TOO CLOSE AND STOPS THE CAR VIOLENTLY, EVEN IF I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES ALREADY. UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE THE SCB FEATURE THIS SENSITIVE, AND SHOULD NOT BRAKE MORE IF THE DRIVER IS ALREADY APPLYING THE BRAKES.

Mileage: 14,700

MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH SPEED 20 AND HIS DAD WAS SITTING NEXT TO HIM. HE TURNED TO NEIGHBORHOOD GATE. HE PRESSED THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN LIKE CRAZY. IN SHORT DISTANCE FROM SPEED 20 WENT TO A SPEED THAT FLIPPED OVER AT THE GATE. INSTEAD OF BRAKE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLY. HOPEFULLY NO INJURY HAPPENED. BUT THE CAR IS TOTAL LOST.

Mileage: 50,000

THE SCBS (SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT) SYSTEM OVERREACTS TO OTHER VEHICLES AND FORCES MY VEHICLE TO STOP SUDDENLY (NOT SLOW DOWN) WHEN THERE IS SUFFICIENT DISTANCE FOR ME TO STOP OR THE VEHICLE IN FRONT IS TURNING AND NO THREAT. THIS OVERREACTION HAS NEARLY CAUSED FOUR ACCIDENTS IN WHICH THE SCBS FORCED THE CAR TO BRAKE AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME NEARLY HITTING MY CAR. RATHER THAN AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT, THE SYSTEM WILL CAUSES THEM IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE QUICK REACTIONS OF THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 MAZDA CX5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. THE CONTACT WENT TO THE CHIROPRACTOR FOR TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY TO TOWING YARD AWAITING INSPECTION FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE VEHICLE HAD A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V497000 (POWER TRAIN, ENGINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I JUST USE MY CAR AROUND TOWN...PUTTING LESS THAN 10,000 MI A YEAR ON THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, & THEY RETURN THE CAR SAYING THEY DIDN'T FIND A PROBLEM??? PROBLEM: I'LL BE DRIVING ALONG, AROUND TOWN...USUALLY GOING AROUND 20-30 MPH, ON LAMAR BLVD. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DECIDES TO TURN INTO HEB PARKING LOT. WHAT I THINK HAPPENS...MY FOOT GOES TO THE FLOOR...NO BRAKING! NO BRAKING, & THEN THE CAR JERKS & SEIZES. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE BACK!!! PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS... I JUST LOST MY HUSBAND & THE LAST THING I NEED IS AN ACCIDENT. THE DATE YOU REQUIRED BELOW WAS THE LAST TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.

PERSISTENT ISSUE WITH SMART CITY BREAK SYSTEMS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BREAK WITHOUT WARNING. SO FAR ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS BUT IT TRIGGERS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DUE TO ME PUSHING THE GAS WHILE THE CAR IS TRYING TO BREAK. WHEN I CAN GET TO A SPOT TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF, THEN BACK ON, THE WARNINGS GO AWAY. IT'S VERY UNSETTLING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND FEELS LIKE AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT AS I CAN'T CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN A CURVY COUNTRY ROAD. HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE TWO WEEKS I'VE ONLY THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG. THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS BUT IT'S STILL HAPPENING.

JUNE 4 2018 MY BRAND NEW 2018 MAZDA CX 5 THAT I BOUGHT FROM MARIN MAZDA IN SAN RAFAEL CA DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 68 MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY IS SLOWING DOWN- LIKE SELF BRAKING ON ITS OWN- I WAS NOT BRAKING- THIS WAS HAPPING WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING -IT FELT LIKE I WAS TOWING A LARGE TRACTOR - THIS RESISTANCE KEEPS RECURRING CAUSING SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS BAD GAS MILEAGE- WHILE THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING I GET BETWEEN 15 -17 MILES PER GAL. - TOOK PICTURES OF FUEL MONITORING SYSTEM. HAVING TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE NEAREST EXIT WITH CARS HONKING AT ME WAS DANGEROUS. CAR HAD 350 MILES ON IT. TOOK CAR BACK TO MARIN MAZDA A COUPLE DAYS LATER FOR THIS ISSUE AND BECAUSE IT IS VERY LOUD WITH EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE WHEN STARTED EVERYDAY. VERY CONCERNING AS TO IT BEING A NEW CAR. DEALER SAID THAT'S JUST HOW MAZDA'S SOUND IT'S OK WE DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. YOUR CAR IS FINE. THE WHEEL RESISTANCE YOU ARE FEELING IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY SPRAY STUFF ON THE CAR TO PREVENT RUST BEFORE THEY SHIP VEHICLE, THAT COATING JUST NEEDS TO BURN OFF. SO YOU NEED TO DRIVE IT TO BURN IT OFF. YOUR CAR IS OPERATING THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED TO. REALLY - THIS IS NOT HOW ANY NEW CAR SOUNDS OR DRIVES. I HAVE A PASSENGER WITH ME AT THIS TIME HE ALSO STATED THIS WAS NOT A NORMAL CONDITION FOR ANY VEHICLE THAT IS OPERATING PROPERLY.

Mileage: 350

1509 MILES ON MY NEW MAZDA CX 5 PURCHASED AT MARIN MAZDA IN SAN RAFAEL CA. ON MAY 22, 2018 THIS VEHICLE KEEPS HAVING SOME KIND OF WHAT FEELS LIKE A WHEEL RESISTANCE ISSUE. NOT SURE IF IT IS SOMETHING HAPPENING IN THE DRIVE TRAIN OR TRANSMISSION. ALSO NOT SURE IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY THE VEHICLE STARTS EVERYDAY - THIS CAR OVER REVS ITSELF WHEN STARTED FIRST THING TICKING VERY LOUDLY, RATTLING , PINGING ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT NOISES. IT IS TICKING SO LOUDLY BECAUSE IT IS OVER REVVING ITSELF AND THERE IS NO OIL THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE YET. EVEN AFTER IT STOPS OVER REVVING AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT MARIN MAZDA INSISTS THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR MAZDA'S TO SOUND LIKE THIS & IS OK. I DON'T BELIEVE HIM. THIS KIND OF START UP EVERYDAY IS GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS IN THIS ENGINE QUICKLY AND PREMATURE FAILURE OF THIS CARS ENGINE. MAZDA DEALERS ARE CONCEALING SOME DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING THIS CAR TO START LIKE THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE CUSTOMERS BEFORE THEY SELL THIS CAR. BECAUSE IT DID NOT SOUND LIKE THIS WHEN I TEST DROVE IT. THAT IS BECAUSE THEY TAKE YOU INSIDE WHILE THE CAR IS WARMED UP SO YOU CAN'T HEAR IT. THAT IS CONCEALING THIS MAJOR ISSUE FROM THE CONSUMER. THIS IS MAZDA'S STANDARDS OF DOING BUSINESS. CONCEALING KNOWN DEFECTS OF THEIR VEHICLES THEN WHEN A CUSTOMER BRINGS THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR THEY TELL THEM IT IS OPERATING AS IT WAS INTENDED TO BY THE MANUFACTURE. IF THIS IS CORRECT THEN THESE THINGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRINTED ON THE WINDOW STICKER ON THE CAR NOT CONCEALED AND NOT MENTIONED TO THE CUSTOMERS. THIS IS VERY DECEPTIVE FOR MAZDA, IT'S DEALERS AND REPRESENTATIVES TO HIDE AND LIE ABOUT THE MERCHANTABILITY CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE. BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO BUY A BRAND NEW CAR THAT SOUNDS LIKE A RATTLE TRAP GHETTO SLED WHEN IT IS STARTED EVERYDAY.

1550 MILES ON MY MAZDA CX 5. AFTER PICKING MY CAR UP FROM MARIN MAZDA FROM SUPPOSEDLY BEING REPAIRED I AM DRIVING HOME WHEN THE SAME RESISTANCE PROBLEM I TOOK IT IN FOR HAPPENS AGAIN. FEELS LIKE I AM TOWING A VERY LARGE TRACTOR ALL THE WAY HOME. I LOOK UNDER THE CAR WHEN I GET THERE AND NOTICE THAT THE BALL JOINTS, TIE ROD ENDS, SOME OF MY BRAKE PARTS AND MANY OTHER PARTS ARE RUSTED. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE MARIN MAZDA TOLD ME THEY TOOK MY BRAKES APART, CLEANED THEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A PIECE OF DIRT IN THERE. DIRT SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN THE BRAKES. ALSO THIS MEANS THAT THEY SAW THE RUSTED PARTS ON THE BRAKES AND SUSPENSION AND SAID NOTHING TO ME, DID NOTHING TO FIX THEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY TELLING ME THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON MAZDA'S VEHICLES AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE PREVIOUSLY HAD TO RECALL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THEIR VEHICLES DUE TO THEM BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO RUSTED SUSPENSION AND OTHER RUST ISSUES. MARIN MAZDA KNOWING SET ME AWAY WITH RUSTED SUSPENSION PARTS, BRAKE PARTS AND TOLD ME THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IGNORING MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW THE CAR IS NOT OPERATING RIGHT. AFTER SEEING THE RUST AND TAKING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER MARIN MAZDA, ONE MORE TIME AND THEM REPAIRING NOTHING, I CONTACTED MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS. INFORMING THEM OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING MY CAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED WHILE IT WAS AT MARIN MAZDA FOR REPAIRS THIS LAST TIME. THERE WAS STILL WHITE GRIT FROM THEIR STUCCO WALL,FROM WHERE ONLY THEIR SERVICE TECHS CAN DRIVE THE CARS, EMBEDDED IN MY BUMPER/ PAINT. MAZDA CORPORATE HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT MY CAR NOT BEING REPAIRED EVEN THOU MY COMPLAINTS WERE DUPLICATED BY THE SERVICE TECH NOR ABOUT THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR THAT WAS PROVEN TO HAVE HAPPENED AT THEIR SHOP AND CONFIRMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER. I TOLD MAZDA CORPS REPRESENTATIVE DAVE ABOUT THE RUST AS WELL.

ON JANUARY 10, 2019, I SLOWED DOWN IN MY LOCAL GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, GOING ABOUT 10 MILES AND HOUR, AND WAS COASTING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT ABOUT 5 MPH. IT WAS ABOUT 1:15 PM ON A SUNNY, CLEAR DAY. I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR AS I PULLED INTO THE SPOT YET I WAS GOING SLOW AND COASTING STRAIGHT INTO THE SPOT. SUDDENLY, THE CAR SPED UP, THE BRAKES HAD NO RESPONSE, AND THE CAR ACCELERATED HITTING 3 PARKED CARS NEAR THE PARKING SPACE. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. . . BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING, I HAD NO CONTROL, IT WAS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THEN THE CAR STOPPED AFTER I HIT THREE VEHICLES AND FORTUNATELY NO HUMANS. I WAS SHAKEN, BUT NO BAGS DEPLOYED. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 6950 MILES ON THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED IT WILL DO THIS AGAIN AND I WILL BE IN TRAFFIC OR NEAR PEOPLE AND I COULD HURT OR KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT TO UPDATE MY DOCUMENTS ON THE INTERNET BUT WILL SUBMIT ONCE I HAVE AN NHTSA EMPLOYEE REACH OUT TO ME. MY RECORDS INCLUDE A FILED POLICE REPORT, A REPORT WITH MAZDA CORPORATE (AS OF TODAY) AND PICTURES OF THE VEHICLES WHICH ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

I PURCHASED A 2018 MAZADA CX5 IN APRIL. IN MAY I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE HESITANT TO STOP AND THAT THEY ALSO MAKE GRINDING NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MAZADA. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NEW IT WOULD MAKE GRINDING NOISE AND THAT THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY EASE UP. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND THE ISSUE STILL EXIST. IN JUNE MY PASSENGERS SEAT BELT BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY LATCHING CAUSING THE CENSOR TO GO OFF. THIS HAPPENS DAILY. IN OCTOBER MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I PLACED AIR IN MY TIRES AND THE CENSOR LIGHT NEVER WENT OFF. ON OCTOBER 18, 2018, I WENT TO THE MAZADA DEALERSHIP FOR A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR OF MY CONCERNS AND THEY STATED EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THE CENSOR WAS RESET. TODAY IS NOVEMBER 2, 2018 AND MY TIRE CENSOR IS BACK ON. MY BRAKES ARE STILL GRINDING AND NOW THEY SLIDE BEFORE STOPPING AND MY PASSENGER SEAT BELT STILL IS NOT LATCHING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND PASSENGERS.

ATTEMPT TO STOP AT LIGHT. BRAKES WERE ENGAGED FULLY ENGINE KEPT REVVING UP. CAR KEPT GOING FORWARD. IN MOTION IN CITY STREET. STRAIGHT AND BRAKING. CAR HAS 496 MILES.
