2013 Mazda CX-5 complaints

THE CAR RANDOMLY ACCELERATES AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. IT BUCKS, REVS, LURKS THEN STOPS. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIME TO-DATE. TODAY, 6/20, I TAPPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO DAMAGED BUT IT IS THE CLOSES TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SINCE I NOTICED THIS ISSUE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PACIFICO FORD IN PA TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED OUT AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. THAT WAS ON 5/23. PLAN TO TAKE IT BACK THERE AGAIN.

2013 MAZDA CX-5. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT ISSUES. *LD UPDATED 06/20/2017*JS

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS (5/27/2017 AND 6/15/2017) WHILE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SEEMED TO LOSE POWER, AND UNABLE TO GO MORE THAN 20 MPH. THE TIRE PRESSURE, TRACTION CONTROL, EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON. BOTH TIMES I HAVE SAFELY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THEIR $300 DIAGNOSIS REPORTED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME, I TURNED MY CAR OFF & ON AGAIN ON THE SHOULDER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND I AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY DESTINATION. THE CHECK ENGINE IS NOW BACK OFF, BUT I HAVE DROPPED IT OFF AT THE SAME AUTO REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY ARE REPLACING AN AIR FLOW SENSOR IN HOPES THAT THIS RESOLVES THE PROBLEM. THIS WILL COST US ANOTHER $300. BOTH TIMES I HAD MY 18 MONTH OLD IN MY CAR. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED.

3 TIMES SINCE PCM RECALL WAS COMPLETED- I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 65MPH, SUDDENLY FEEL REDUCTION IN POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS AND TRACTIONS STABILTY WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED LIGHTS GO OUT EXCEPT CHECK ENGINE AND CAR DRIVES NORMAL. BY THE TIME I GET TO PEPBOYS THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF.

WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH OR SOMETIMES LESS THE TIRE PRESSURE, TRACTION CONTROL, EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND SHUT DOWN. IT HAPPENS COUNTLESS TIME TWICE WITH MY TWO-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC THEY RUN DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND CAN'T PICK UP ANY CODES. BECAUSE ITS NOT DUPLICATING ANY ISSUE THEY RETURN THE CAR TO ME AFTER THEY RESET ALL THE COMPUTER. BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I WOULD LOSE POWER TO THE CAR AND MY BRAKES ARE SOMETIMES NOT RESPONSIVE. I WOULD COAST WITH MY EMERGENCY LIGHT ON UNTIL I CAN STOP MY CAR. SOMETIME MY HAZARDS LIGHT WOULD FREQUENTLY FLASH AT A FAST SPEED THAN STOP. I TOOK IT TO TWO MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE BUT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATED WHAT GOING ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND FOUND COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING AND NO MECHANIC CAN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE THIS CAR IS JUNK. THIS HAVE STARTED THE FIRST WEEK ON DEC. 2016 IT HAS BEEN IN TWO SHOP OVER THE PAST 4 MONTH. THE FIRST SHOP I TOOK IT TO HAD IT FOR A WHOLE MONTH AND THE SECOND SHOP HAD IT FOR TWO WEEK. AT ONE POINT WHEN I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS FIX I CAME TO PICK IT UP. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL IT WAS NOT EVEN READING MY KEYS. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE 100K MILES ON IT. I DON'T DO A LOT OF DRIVING. THIS IS HAZARDOUS

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LIFT GATE STAY DAMPER. RECALL WAS RECEIVED OCT. 2016 &HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. TUPELO MAZDA SAYS THERE'S NO PARTS FOR IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED ASAP. THE RECALL SAYS THE LIFT GATE CAN FALL POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY, THE STAY DAMPERS ARE FAULTY.

ENGINE LIGHT, DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDICATES HEATER CORE PROBLEM. SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED AT LEAST 2 TIMES AND PROBLEM STILL REOCCURS WITHIN A WEEK. IT HAS BEEN A COMMUTING INCONVENIENCE AND MY WIFE IS FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL OF MY MAZDA CX5 IN OCTOBER 2016. IT IS RECALL 9916H LIFT GATE STAY DAMPER CONCERN. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE MAZDA AT THE AVENUES , JACKSONVILLE, FL, TO GET IT FIXED SINCE OCTOBER. AS OF JANUARY 7, THERE ARE STILL NO PARTS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MAZDA CX-5. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V644000 (STRUCTURE). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,835. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

SINCE LAST RECALL REPAIR MY CX-5 IS EXPERIENCING MAJOR PROBLEMS. IT WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. I GET IN AND DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL, BUT START BUTTON WILL NOT LIGHT GREEN AND CAR WON'T START, EVEN AFTER CHANGING BATTERY IN KEY FOB. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ALL OF THEM) WILL COME ON AND FLASH, THEN GO AWAY. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE AFTER CAR HAS STARTED. CAR IS STARTED AND IN PARK. I DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND TRY TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR (DRIVE) BUT THE SHIFTER REFUSES TO MOVE AT ALL. PUMPING THE BRAKE DOES NOT WORK, DEPRESSING THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR DOES NOT WORK. THERE IS NOT A PARTICULAR SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS THAT WILL GET THE CAR TO GO INTO GEAR. THE ONLY REMEDY I HAVE FOUND IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AFTER THIS HAS HAPPENED, IF I USE REVERSE AND THEN PUT IT INTO DRIVE, THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FOR TIRE AND TCS COME ON.

MAZDA CX 5 2013, HAS INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER. MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN TRYING TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY &/OR MERGE INTO TRAFFIC.(SCARY) TOOK IT IN FOR MAZDA RECALL 8915K PCM, THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. MAZDA SERVICE TECH HAD SAME ISSUE. (NOTE I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL ASE CERTIFIED SHOP WHERE IT DID THE SAME THING PRIOR TO TAKING TO MAZDA--WHICH IS WHY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER). SO NO SOLUTION AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS MY CAR WILL APPEAR TO HAVE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS GOING ABOUT 15 - 45 MPH. I WORK FROM HOME OR GO TO THE OFFICE TWICE A WEEK. I DRIVE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL DURING THE WEEK. I DON'T DO MUCH COMMUTING. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT DOWN THEN REBOOT WITHIN SECONDS, AND THE CAR MAKES BEEPING SOUNDS LIKE I JUST STARTED THE CAR. THE CAR WILL NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN, BUT IF I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A LIGHT, THE CAR WILL BE VERY SLOW TO ACCELERATE BUT I CAN GET IT BACK UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT AFTER A VERY SLOW START. I HAVE CALLED AAA ON ONE OCCASION AND TOOK IT TO A SHOP ON ANOTHER OCCASION. THEY BOTH SAY IT IS BATTERY RELATED DUE TO THE WRONG BATTER BEING INSTALLED BUT IT IS THE BATTERY SIZE IN THE SYSTEM OF AN ORIELYS AUTO PARTS STORE. EVERY TIME I REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THE ISSUE APPEARS TO GO AWAY FOR A COUPLE WEEKS TO A MONTH. THE LAST BATTERY REPLACEMENT I PURCHASED A STRONGER BATTER THAN IN THEIR SYSTEM AS PER THE ADVISEMENT FROM THE AUTO SHOP. IT SEEMED TO FIX IT AGAIN BUT AFTER A MONTH THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MAZDA CX-5. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH IN TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC. WHEN CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 15KM/HR, IT SUDDENLY/VIOLENTLY STOPPED AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. AFTER STOPPING, I APPLIED GAS AGAIN, BUT CAR WAS VERY SLUGGISH AND NEVER CHANGED GEARS (FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE STARTING WITH THE 6TH GEAR - I WAS IN "D"). EVERY TIME I LET GO OF GAS PEDDLE, IT WOULD INSTANTLY JERK THE CAR TO A STOP. FEELS EXACTLY LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN YOU ARE IN FIRST GEAR AND DON'T GIVE ENOUGH GAS AND SUDDENLY LET GO OF YOUR CLUTCH - THE ENGINE SLAMS SHUT. NO ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS INDICATED ON THE DASH. THE CAR CAN TURN ON/OFF WITHOUT PROBLEMS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MAZDA. TOOK THEM 1 WEEK TO DETERMINE AND FIX THE CAR: THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION (UNDER WARRANTY). I ONLY HAVE 38000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE INVOICE SAYS: K0101XRX TRANSMISSION COMPLETE, R&R (0000-23-ATF-FZ 6SP.A/T FL, FW7A-03-000R-V0 T/MISSION). MAZDA TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY!! THANKFULLY I WAS ALREADY ON THE SLOW LANE DUE TO THE TRAFFIC... THIS WAS ON A 5 LANE HIGHWAY! IF I WAS ON THE FAST LANE, IT WOULD BE A FATAL ACCIDENT!!!

DOOR LOCKS FAILING. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK HAS FAILED TWICE: ONCE DUE TO LOCK ARM MISALIGNED AND NOW HAS JUST FAILED AGAIN. THE REAR HATCH HAS FAILED FOUR TIMES WITHIN MONTH. HAVE HAD DEALER REPLACE DOOR LOCK, BATTERY AND REAR CONTROL BOARD. THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO HATCH IS WITH FOB, AS THERE IS NO KEY SLOT SO UNABLE TO OPEN REAR HATCH. THE CAR IS IN FLORIDA AND IS PARKED OUTSIDE.

IN GARAGE (THANK GOODNESS & NOT ON ROAD). PUSHED BUTTON TO START ENGINE, IT TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT STAY STARTED, LIKE NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. TRIED 5 MORE TIMES TO DO THIS WITH SAME RESULT. THE KICKER IS, ONCE IGNITION WAS PUSHED TO TURN ON, I COULD NOT GET IT OFF SO THAT ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WOULD SHUT DOWN. WAS TOLD BY MAZDA SERVICE PER CALL TO DISCONNECT NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE ......WHICH SHUT EVERYTHING OFF. CAR WAS TAKEN ON A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP. STILL UNDER A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WARRANTY, BIG JOKE! I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $110. JUST TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THIS AM BY SERVICE MANAGER PROBLEM WAS A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PAPERWORK READS, ".....WITH NO DEDUCTIBLE ON COVERED COMPONENTS." AND THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF THE 36 THOUSAND MILE WARRANTY, I HAVE HAD THIS CAR 27. EMISSION RECALL FIXED IN FEB. 2016. THIS IS COSTING ME ALMOST $500. I WILL BE TRADING THIS 4 CYLINDER SKYACTIV SLUG ASAP.

THE POWER DRIVER'S SEAT RECLINES SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. WILL GO FROM ORIGINAL POSITION TO COMPLETELY LAID BACK WITHOUT STOPPING. I CAN'T LET ANYONE TALK SIT BEHIND ME FOR FEAR OF CRUSHING THEIR KNEES OR LEGS. ALSO HAPPENS AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. WILL WALK BACK TO CAR TO FIND THE SEAT FULLY RECLINED. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR BUT ESPECIALLY ON DAYS WHEN RUNNING ERRANDS AND IN AND OUT OF CAR MULTIPLE TIMES. CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN ENGINE IS "COLD". SUDDEN LOSSES OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. CAR JUST SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES.

THE CX-5 COMES EQUIPPED WITH A POWERED DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS. AT 20,000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED SPONTANEOUSLY RECLINING, AFTER YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE, STEP OUTSIDE, AND CLOSE THE DRIVER DOOR. WARNING: IT IS VERY POWERFUL MOTOR IN TERMS OF TORQUE, AND A HUMAN CANNOT PREVENT ITS DESCENT BY PUSHING BACK ON IT. THE SEAT CONTINUES TO RECLINE, AS THOUGH THE BUTTON IS DEPRESSED -- EVEN WHEN IT MAKES CONTACT WITH A SOLID OBJECT -- OR A PERSON. SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DOOR WERE BRUISED AND TERRIFIED FOR DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT (HAPPENED 2-3 TIMES BEFORE WE STOPPED USING IT). IT HAPPENS AFTER YOU TURN OFF ENGINE AND LEAVE THE CAR. NORMALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS, QUICKLY JUMPING BACK INTO DRIVER SEAT AND PUSHING THE BUTTON TO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, WILL REVERSE THE SITUATION. HOWEVER, ON ONE OCCASION, THIS WOULD NOT WORK, AND UPON RETURNING TO THE CAR TO FIND THE SEAT IN THE FULLY RECLINED POSITION, I HAD TO DRIVE HOME THIS WAY. AGAIN, IT DOES NOT STOP RECLINING UPON SENSING THAT IT HAS MADE CONTACT WITH AN OBJECT (AS AN ELEVATOR MAY DO). THE EVENT HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN PARK, WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, AND THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THERE ARE NO OBJECTS LODGED IN THE VICINITY OF THE CONTROLS, THAT MAY BE INADVERTENTLY DEPRESSING ON THEM. THE SHOCK OF THE DOOR BEING CLOSED, APPEARS TO BE TRIGGERING IT. NOTE, THERE IS NO SEAT MEMORY ON THIS MODEL, SO IT IS ALSO NOT A CASE OF THE SEAT PRESETS BEING ADJUSTED FOR A DIFFERENT DRIVER. WE DO NOT HAVE

DURING A LONG HOLIDAY TRIP, WHILE DRIVING DOWN US 19 AT 65 MPH OVER THE NEW RIVER GORGE BRIDGE THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING / SURGING, WITH RPMS GOING UP AND DOWN, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DECELERATED RAPIDLY. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) LIGHT WAS ON SOLID AND THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM (TPS) LIGHT WAS FLASHING. WE HAD JUST LEFT A REST AREA AND WERE LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD FROM WHERE WE PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY, JUST GETTING UP TO SPEED. I MAY HAVE JUST TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT I CANNOT REMEMBER. THE WEATHER WAS WARM AND DRY. THE CAR HAD ABOUT 52,700 MILES ON IT. I PUT ON THE FLASHERS AND PRAYED THAT MOMENTUM WOULD CARRY ME OVER THE BRIDGE TO WHERE I COULD PULL OFF, THAT THE SEMI-TRACTOR-TRAILER TRUCK BARRELING DOWN ON ME WOULD GET IN THE OTHER LANE SOON, AND THAT NO ONE WOULD REAR END ME. MY MOM AND MY HUSBAND WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR, WALKED AROUND THE OUTSIDE TO LOOK AT THE TIRES, LOOKED THROUGH THE MANUAL, AND TRIED TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES, I STARTED IT UP AGAIN, THERE WERE NO INDICATORS LIT UP ON THE DASH, AND THE CAR SEEMED TO BE BACK TO NORMAL, SO WE CONTINUED OUR TRIP. SINCE THEN WE HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 800 MILES AND IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO CONTACT THE DEALER YET.

REAR BRAKES (ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS) PREMATURELY WORN OUT AT ~35K THIS LOOKS LIKE A DESIGN ISSUES AS THERE IS A TSB FOR IT, DO TO RUST FORMATION THAT MAKES THE BRAKE PADS STICK. MAZDA SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRO-ACTIVE. ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS TO REMOVE RUSTED SPOTS AND APPLY SOME GREASE. NOW I HAVE A CASE OPEN WITH MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER IT AS WARRANTY ITEM.

RUNNING ERRANDS ON WAY HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE ON A HILL SUDDENLY INCURRED LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE AND DRIVING STABILITY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. PRESSED GAS AND NO CHANGE IN SPEED. SPEED DROPPED FROM 45 TO 20 AND HAD TO MOVE TO SHOULDER. OTHER THAN LOSS OF POWER EVERYTHING ELSE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. MANAGED TO RETURN HOME VIA BACK ROADS AND AVOIDANCE OF HILLS. SPEED IMPROVED SOMEWHAT ONCE COMPLETED CLIMBING HILL BUT AS NEARED HOME CAR'S SPEED TOPPED OUT AT 20 MPH, TOTAL TRIP 4 MILES OR SO. ONCE IN DRIVEWAY TURNED OFF CAR AND THEN STARTED AGAIN NEITHER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOR THE DRIVING STABILITY CAME ON AGAIN. CAR WELL MAINTAINED FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICE AND SEE IF PROBLEM CAN BE DIAGNOSED.

WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE WARNING MY REAR BRAKES BEGAN SCREECHING. I AM NOW OPERATING WITH REAR BRAKES THAT ARE METAL ON METAL.I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND HE SAID IT'S NORMAL FOR BRAKES TO WEAR OUT AND IT IS PROBABLY NOT FROM A STUCK CALIPER. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ONE WEEK AGO DURING NORMAL USAGE.

I FIRST STARTED HEARING THIS SCREECHING NOISE BACK IN MAY 2015, AFTER WHICH I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THINKING WHATEVER IT WAS COULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY CAME BACK SAYING THAT IT WAS DUE TO NOT HAVING ANY REAR BRAKE PADS LEFT AND MY ROTORS WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER FIXING THIS, IN AUGUST 2015, I STARTED TO HEAR THE NOISE AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME NOISE. THIS TIME, THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MY FRONT BRAKE PADS. GOT THIS FIXED AS WELL. NOW IT IS SEPTEMBER, AND I HEAR THE SAME EXACT SCREECHING NOISE AS I HEARD IN MAY. I DECIDED TO HAVE IT CHECKED AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP BUT UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO HOW THE PRIOR DEALERSHIP USED AN AIR IMPACT WRENCH TO PUT ON MY WHEEL LOCKS, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THEM. IT ACTUALLY STRIPPED THE KEY AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH ANOTHER PROBLEM TO FIX. WHILE THERE, WE ASKED IF THIS MIGHT BE THE REASON BEHIND THE SCREECHING THAT WE HEAR, BUT THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THE REAR CALIPERS, ETC AND TO FIX IT IF A CUSTOMER COMPLAINS. NOW MY COMPLAINT IS HOW IS A CUSTOMER SUPPOSED TO BE AWARE OF THIS IF IT IS NOT MADE KNOWN TO US...AND INSTEAD, THE DEALERSHIPS TRICK US INTO REPEATEDLY RETURNING TO HAVE IT CHECKED, TAKING TIME OUT OF OUR BUSY WORK SCHEDULES. I ALSO DON'T AGREE WITH AT ONLY 30K, I HAD TO HAVE ALL MY BRAKE PADS CHANGED ALREADY! ALL THE OTHER CARS I'VE HAD, I DID AT AROUND 5

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE WHEN MY TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR, TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR, LOW OIL INDICATOR, EMERGENCY CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CAR APPEARED TO BE DRIVING NORMALLY SO I DROVE IT TO A NEARBY MEINEKE SHOP WHERE THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS & REPORTED THEY WERE GETTING ERROR CODES P0571 & P02507. THEY FURTHER ADVISED THEY WERE NOT EQUIPPED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I HAD TO GO TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP - THE CLOSEST WAS 20 MILES AWAY. WHILE ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, (AGAIN TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE), EVERY LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES INTO THE TRIP, MY PUSH-TO-START BUTTON STARTED FLASHING YELLOW, I LOST POWER TO THE CAR AND MY BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONSIVE. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF, NOT KNOWING IF IT WOULD TURN BACK ON. I ALLOWED IT TO SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN IT "ON" VIA THE PUSH-TO-START. IT DID TURN ON AND ALLOWED ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING, (THIS TIME IN THE BREAK-DOWN LANE AT 25 MPH WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS FLASHING). I MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY NOTED THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DIAGNOSTICS BY THE DEALERSHIP / MY INVOICE REVEAL THE "CAUSE" AS "61 P0302XRX BRAKE SWITCH, R & R 71 W" AND "1 LMIN07*5 MINI LP 7.5 FUSE" WITH A PART NUMBER OF BN7N-66-490. THE ISSUE WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD / LESS THAN 25,000 MILES. I WAS ON VACATION 8 HOURS FROM M

5 SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY WENT INTO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FROM 5MPH TO ABOUT 40 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHICH DID NOTHING, THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK, WHICH DID NOTHING. STILL APPLYING THE BRAKES I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO SHUT (PUSH BOTTON) IGNITION OFF BUT THAT WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I HIT A STREET SIGN WHICH SLOWED ME DOWN AND THE CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVING LOUDLY FOR ANOTHER SOLID MINUTE. I AGAIN WAS PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON AND THE CAR THEN SUDDENLY TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MAZDA CX-5. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE CALIPER, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS. CHECKED THE WHEELS WHEN I GOT HOME , AND DISCOVERED PREMATURE WEAR ON REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. PADS WERE WORN DOWN, AND THE ROTORS WERE GROOVED THE REAR RIGHT SIDE WAS REALLY BAD . LOOKED FOR A RECALL NOTICE, AND FOUND NOTHING, SO I REPLACED THEM. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 121TH, AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A NOTICE SENT TO THE DEALERS TO LOOK FOR THIS PROBLEM IF THERE WAS A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. I ASKED WHY THE NOTICE WAS NOT SENT TO THE VEHICLE OWNER'S, AND HE HAD NO ANSWER.

PUT MY TRUCK IN GEAR D FOR DRIVE START DRIVING AND AT 5MPH ITS MAKING A NOISE LIKE A STANDARD TRANSMISSION DO WHEN YOU ARE IN THE WRONG GEAR SUCH AS TOO LOW. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY RADIO BECAUSE IT WAS SIZZLING AND THE READ OUT THAT THE STATION SHOW WAS NO LONGER SHOWING THE SONG OR ARTIST. SO I SWITCH TO ANOTHER STATION AND IS STILL MADE THE SOUND SO I PUT IN A CD AND LISTEN TO IT AND I HAD TO TURN VOLUME UP IN ORDER NOT TO HEAR THE SOUND. THE FASTER I DROVE THE LOUDER IT GOT. I ONLY HAVE 28,000 MILES SO TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T BE BAD. I HAD AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO WITH TIRE ROTATION AND FLUIDS CHECKED AND ALL WAS FINE.TAKING IT TO SHOP. *TR

DRIVING IN CITY SETTING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE CAR AND AT THE SAME TIME, I FELT THAT THE POWER TRAIN WAS SLIPPING, AND THEN IT GAVE OUT COMPLETELY. PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND GOT NO ACCELERATION. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. STOPPED CAR TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT AFTER ABOUT A MILE THE SAME ISSUE AROSE AND THIS TIME THE AT LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY WORKED ON IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK. AT 34000 MILE THE SAME THINK JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. DRIVING ALONG A COUNTRY ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR IT HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME. HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR A SECOND TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MAZDA CX-5. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY AS IF IT HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,100.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MAZDA CX5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH STARTED GRINDING WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,600.

STARTED HEARING A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS MY CAR THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED, THINKING WHAT COULD BE WRONG ON A CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD!?! A FEW DAYS LATER, THE NOISE BECAME MORE REGULAR WHEN BRAKING, AND WAS GRINDING LOUDLY AT ALL STOPS! I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ROTORS/BRAKE PADS, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AND OF COURSE NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" DUE TO RUST BUILD UP WHICH LOCKED UP THE BRAKE PAD.... THIS DOES NOT SEEM "NORMAL" TO ME.... I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT NEEDED BRAKES THIS SOON! SOMETHING SEEMS DEFECTIVE, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT! TIRE KINGDOM REPLACED THE BRAKES AND THEY SO THIS DOES NOT REALLY HAPPEN PLEASE ADVISE . *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HEARD A SUDDEN SNAP LIKE SOUND ON THE WINDSCREEN, THEN I SAW A STAR SHAPED STONE CHIP APPEAR ON THE WINDSCREEN, ON THE RIGHT SIDE ABOUT AN 1 INCH FROM THE SIDE AND ABOUT 7 INCHES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSCREEN. I HAD DRIVEN NO MORE THAN ABOUT 100 FEET, WHEN A CRACK ABOUT 12 INCHES WAS ALREADY THERE. MY WARRANTY COVERS STONE CHIPS AND CRACKS LESS THAN 6 INCHES. THERE SEEM TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE CX 5 WINDSCREENS, BECAUSE I HAVE SEEM SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS IN FORUMS. OTHER VEHICLES YOU GET A STONE CHIP AND IT DOES NOT SPREAD THAT QUICKLY, AT LEAST YOU GET A OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND GET IT REPAIRED. I DID NOT EVEN GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND THE STONE CHIP HAD ALREADY SPREAD IN EXCESS OF 12 INCHES. *JS

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY, RENDERING IT VIRTUALLY USELESS. CARS ARE ALL BUT A BLUR AT AND ABOVE 55 MPH. THE DEALER SAID IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE (AND SAID HE SUBMITTED A TSB) AND DID NOTHING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. WHEN PRESENTED WITH THE "REPAIR GUIDANCE" REFERENCE # R042/13A, THEY SAID IT WAS A FIX FOR THE "EUROPEAN CX-5, NOT THE US VERSION" AND WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE FAR RIGHT, MID LEVEL OF WINDSHIELD ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM EDGE. I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND AND THEN A SMALL STAR-SHAPE DING APPEARED. WITHIN 5 MINUTES THE CRACK GREW TO ABOUT 2.5 FEET LONG. *TR

THE FRONT-SEAT HEADRESTS IN MY VEHICLE ARE TILTED FORWARD IN A WAY THAT FORCES AN UNNATURAL SEATING POSITION. A DRIVER MUST SLOUCH FORWARD TO AVOID THE HEADREST, OR BE FORCED TO TILT HIS/HER HEAD DOWNWARDS. BOTH OPTIONS RESULT IN THE HEADREST HAVING SIGNIFICANT LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES FOR THE HEALTH OF THE OCCUPANT'S NECK AND SPINE, WHICH IRONICALLY ARE THE INJURIES HEADRESTS SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO PREVENT. *TR

I STARTED HEARING A METAL GRINDING SOUND ON THE READ DRIVER SIDE OF MY MAZDA CX5. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS AND PAD WERE GONE AND NEEDED REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WAS DRIVING ON USED PADS FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH AND THEY STARTED TO MAKE THE SAME GRINDING SOUND. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH THE BRAKES IN THE CONDITION. *TR

A WEEK AGO I STARTED HEARING A METAL GRINDING SOUND ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF MY MAZDA CX-5. MY CAR IS ONLY A YEAR AN A HALF OLD. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE ROTOR IS COMPLETELY GONE AND I NEEDED NEW BRAKE PADS BECAUSE OF IT. HOWEVER, HE COULDN'T LOCATE MY PARTS ANYWHERE. IT SEEMS THAT ALL THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIPS DIDN'T HAVE THEM AND ALL THE AFTERMARKET PLACES CLAIMED THAT MAZDA COMPANY HAD BOUGHT THEM ALL BACK. MY MECHANIC ALSO SAID IT WAS ODD THAT IT WAS ONLY ONE SIDE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OUT THERE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM! SO DANGEROUS! THE REASON MY HUSBAND BOUGHT ME THIS CAR WAS BECAUSE IT WAS SAFE AND I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO REASON A NEW CAR SHOULD NEED NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS! TO SEE MORE COMPLAINTS GO TO THIS WEBSITE, REPAIRPAL.COM/PREMATURE-REAR-BRAKE-FAILURE-705. I HOPE THEY RECALL THIS SOON! IN THE MEANTIME MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN FIXED BECAUSE THERE IS A NATION WIDE BACK ORDER ON THE PART! *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE APPEARS TO STALL AND THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. THE CAR FEELS AS THOUGH IT HAS SHUT OFF, AND NO ACCELERATION IS POSSIBLE. I AM FORCED TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER, AT WHICH POINT I MUST TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO BE DRIVABLE. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING, SEVERAL INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR, CHECK ENGINE, AT, AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS. UPON RESTART, THE CHECK ENGINE REMAINS ILLUMINATED. THIS SAME INCIDENT HAS RECURRED 3X SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL 2012, INCLUDING MAY 2013, MAY 2014 AND AUGUST 2014. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE JUST FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MAZDA. *TR

TRAVELING RESIDENTIAL STREET APPROX 40MPH. PREPARED TO SLOW FOR UPCOMING LIGHT AND TRAFFIC APPLIED LIGHT PRESSURE TO BRAKE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW FELT WHAT THOUGHT WAS A DOWNSHIFT EXCEPT ACCELERATOR WENT TO FLOOR AND CAR ACCELERATED BRAKE FIGHTING ACCELERATION VEHICLE NOT SLOWING THOUGHT TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL ENGINE RACED WILDLY, VEHICLE CAME TO STOP MOTOR RACING, HIT OFF BUTTON AND MOTOR FINALLY STOPPED. RESTARTED AND VEHICLE BACK TO NORMAL CALLED DEALER TOOK FOR CHECK NEXT DAY MAZDA AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR SUPPOSEDLY INSPECTED FOUND NO PROBLEM CHECKED THEIR BLACK BOX NO SUPPORTING DATA. CONCLUDED I WAS USING 2 FEET TO DRIVE I HAVE DRIVEN FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER USED 2 FEET TO DRIVE I TAUGHT MY CHILDREN AND HELPED TEACH MY GRANDCHILDREN AND NEVER ALLOWED 2 FEET TO BE USED IN DRIVING. MAZDAS SOLUTION WAS TO INSTALL A NEW DATA BOX TO COLLECT MORE DATA IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH NO CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND THEIR SAFETY OR THAT OF OTHERS ON THE ROADS PLUS MY INSURANCE WOULD BE PUT AT RISK ALONG WITH POTENTIAL LAWSUITS AGAINST ME PERSONALLY AS I KNOW MAZDA DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIGURE WHAT PARTS MIGHT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM A GOOD COMPANY WOULD TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM ASSESS WHICH PARTS COULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM REPLACE THE MOST LOGICAL PARTS AND TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MAZDA JUST WANTS TO PUT THE PROBLEM BACK ON THE ROAD WITH NO TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS OR SKILLS. I KNOW ONE OTHER PERSON WHO'S TEENAGE DAUGHTER HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE AND THEY SAY THEY CAN FIND NO P

I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON FREEWAY WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME WHEN SUNROOF IMPLODED/EXPLODED. GLASS FLEW ALL AROUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OUTSIDE ONTO THE ROADWAY. CLEAR DAY AND 60 DEGREES OUTSIDE. MOST PEOPLE WOULD JUST CONTINUE TO DRIVE AS I DID, BUT I COULD SEE HOW A PERSON COULD EASILY LOST CONTROL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
