2014 Mazda CX-5 transmission problems

POWER TRAIN

I was waiting at a traffic signal to make a left turn, with my foot on the brake. The car accelerated aggressively, with no warning, like the pedal was pushed to the floor. I stood on the brake and shoved the shifter into park - coming to a stop in the middle of the intersection, Fortunately my wheels were pointed straight and the car did not race into oncoming traffic. My [XXX] father was in the car with me. Thankfully, my grandchildren were NOT in the car. You could smell the gas and brakes. It was NOT driver foot placement, nor was it floor mats. Vehicle has ~ 75K miles, and I am terrified of this happening again. I had driven this car regularly in rush hour stop & go traffic for years with no event like this ever before. Apparently sudden unintended vehicle acceleration is a recognized problem. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

After pushing the button to turn my car off, the engine turns off but none of the electronics does. I have to turn my car on and off numerous times to get the navigation/radio screen to turn off, I'm a single woman and I don't want to come back to my car to find a dead battery late at night with no one around. I was advised that Mazda was aware of the problem with the sensor #KDY0-46-040, but was not issuing a recall. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion- t49115_ds799849?sntEmlId=1964374109#msg850430, which shows numerous people are having the same problem and Mazda has assisted some of them in having this part replaced at no cost. This issue should be a recall from Mazda. It's not a wear and tear kind of problem, after many complains they actually changed the specifics of the new part, showing that they know it was defective.

For the last couple of months every time I place my car in park and press the PUSH START/OFF BUTTON- the car does not completely shut off. So I start the car again, move the gear shift out of park all the way back into drive and back into park again in hopes when I push off button it will cut off. It is a gamble. Now I am having to cut the car on and off almost 6 times in a row to get it to cut off completely. Not only is it causing incredible wear and tear on my vehicle, it is a horrible defect that seems like it will be dangerous and costly in the long run. I think Mazda should recall this issue and fix it promptly!

WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE SHIFT IS IN P POSITION THE IGNITION DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN PRESSING START STOP BUTTON.THE IGNITION STAYS ON IN ACCESSORY MODE. I NEED TO START AND STOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND PUT SHIFT INTO R AND THEN P TO TURN CAR OFF. IT WOULD TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 10 TIMES. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2014 MAZDA CX-5 AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. THIS ISSUE LEADS TO DRIVER STRANDED AS WITHOUT PROPER SHUTOFF,IT RUNS DOWN BATTERY. MAZDA IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE RECTIFIED THE SHIFTER SWITCH WITH NEW PART # KDY0-46-040. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN SEND TO MAZDA DEALERS ON 12/22/15 AND 4/11/16 ON HOW TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH BULLETIN NO. 05-004/16 AND NOW RECOMMENDING TO REPLACE THE SWITCH UNIT WITH NEW PART # KDY0-46-040. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MAZDA SHOULD REPAIR THIS DEFECTIVE PART WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST TO OWNERS AS THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN EASILY LEAVE CAR IN ACCESSORY MODE AND CAR BATTERY WILL BE DEAD UPON RETURN. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO US MULTIPLE TIMES AND AS RECENT AS THIS WEEK ONLY.

AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND PUTTING IT IN PARL, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN PRESSING THE ON/OFF BUTTON.

I WAS SLOWLY ACCELERATING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS SHIFTING FROM 1ST GEAR INTO REVERSE INSTEAD OF 2ND GEAR. MY AWD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAZDA SHOOK AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO REVERSE AND BACK AGAIN REPEATEDLY. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIGHT LANE AND CHECKED THE GEAR LEVER WHICH WAS IN DRIVE, NO WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. I PUT IT IN GEAR AND SLOWLY DROVE FORWARD AND IT STARTED JERKING AGAIN AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A WIDER SPOT SO I WOULDN'T GET REAR ENDED. I HAD IT TOWED BY AAA (THE LOCAL DRIVER REPORTED I WAS THE 6TH MAZDA CX-5 THEY TOWED FOR SIMILAR SYMPTOMS). THEY TOWED IT TO THEIR RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION SHOP AND AFTER A SCAN, THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANY CODES. HE TEST DROVE IT AND IT EXHIBITED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. HE SAID IT WAS PROBABLY ELECTRICAL OR SOFTWARE AND HE COULDN'T FIX IT. I'LL GET IT TOWED TO MAZDA MONDAY. MY WARRANTY FROM CAR MAX RAN OUT 300 MILES AGO, THEY'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL, BUT NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO UNTIL WE IDENTIFY THE CAUSE.

2014 MAZDA CX-5 WON'T SHUT OFF. ON TRYING TO TURN OFF THE CAR, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BUT THE ELECTRONIC DISPLAY IS STILL ON. IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PARKING GEAR SENSOR WHERE THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE CAR IS IN PARKING GEAR. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW AND MAZDA REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE. INITIALLY, THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET BUT WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR SO, THEY MADE IT AVAILABLE. APPARENTLY, MAZDA ALSO FIXED THE PART FROM THE 2015 VERSION. THE FAULTY NUMBER IS KDY0-46-040. IT IS COSTING CONSUMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND TIME TO FIX AN OBVIOUS ISSUE WHICH MAZDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. HERE IS FORUM WITH PEOPLES GRIEVANCES REGARDING THIS ISSUE. EVEN EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS AS PER SOME PEOPLES REVIEWS. I CONTACTED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DIVISION WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY REFUSED TO SAY THAT THEY WILL COVER THE ISSUE. THEY ARE ASKING ME TO GO TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WHICH WILL COST ME ~$200. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T49115_DS799849

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.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH TURNING THE CAR OFF. FREQUENTLY, I WILL PARK THE CAR, ENSURE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED IN "PARK", PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND HIT THE OFF BUTTON (KEYLESS). THE ACCESSORY POWER WILL REMAIN ON AND THE CAR WILL ALERT ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL "ON", EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING SHOULD BE OFF.
