ENGINE
THE ENGINE IS REFUSING TO TURN OFF WHEN I HIT THE OFF BUTTON AND IT IS IN THE PARK POSITION. IT TAKES UP TO 5-6 TIMES TO GET THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN BY RESTARTING IT, PLAYING WITH THE GEARS AND FINALLY SHUTTING DOWN. THIS COULD BE A SENSOR PROBLEM. I JUST HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIXED AS IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF EITHER.

[XXX] THE ENGINE DOES NOT IDLE. WHEN I WOULD SLOW TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, TH ENGINE WOULD QUIT AND REQUIRE RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY, AND, THE RED BATTERY LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. A SERVICE STATION DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS EITHER AN OLD BATTERY, AND/OR, AN ALTERNATOR. OURISMAN MAZDA, 801 ROCKVILLE PIKE, ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND 20852 [301-424-7800] ADVISED ME THIS MORNING, SATURDAY, 01/13/2018, THAT: 1.)THE PROBLEM IS THE MASS AIR FLOW FILTER THAT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. 2.)THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MAZDA MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR FAILURES. 3.) TOTAL PARTS AND LABOR ARE APPROXIMATELY, $575.00. 4.)THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE 5 YEARS / 100,000 WARRANTY DID NOT APPLY TO THE MASS AIR FLOW FILTER. 5.)WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO OURISMAN MAZDA, ON 01/12/2018, TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. I WAS ASKED WHEN AND WHERE I LAST FILLED THE GAS TANK, (AS IF A MASS AIR FLOW FAILURE MIMICS CONTAMINATED FUEL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, NEW, IN DECEMBER 2012,, AND HAS APPROX.., 75,000 MILES OF URBAN / SUBURBAN DRIVING, NOT UNDER DUSTY CONDITIONS. THE RISK IS THAT THE CAR COULD UNEXPECTEDLY STALL AND WITH NO WAY TO RECOVER QUICKLY. *BF *JS PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE IN MOTION, THE MOTORIZED DRIVER SEAT MOVES UP, BACK, AND FORWARD EVEN THOUGH NOTHING IS TOUCHING THE MOVEMENT LEVER. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE DRIVER SEAT INTERMITTENTLY FULLY RECLINES ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY MAZDA'S OWN SERVICE CENTER.

AFTER A LUBE, OIL FILTER SERVICE FRIDAY MORNING AT THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP, IN THE EVENING WHILE DRIVING AT SIXTY MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, WE EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE LOSS OF POWER. REDUCED DOWN TO TWENTY MPH, WE SAFELY STEERED TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND AVOIDED A SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE. WE CONTINUED HOME ON CITY STREETS GOING TEN MPH UP HILLS AND MAYBE THIRTY DOWNHILL. STEERING AND BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I AM REPORTING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE OF SERIOUSNESS OF THE POSSIBLE ACCIDENT AND AM ASKING FOR YOUR DIAGNOSIS OF THE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF THIS ENGINE FAILURE. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE COMPLAIN ABOUT 2013 MAZDA CX-5 GRAND TOURING I BOUGHT. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN JUST 49000 MILES IN 5 YEARS AND JUST AFTER IT COMPLETED 5 YEARS STARTED HAVING ISSUES. AFTER THE DEALER CHECK THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED COSTING $4000+. THE DEALER MENTIONED AS ITS MORE THAN 5 YEARS ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS VERY DISGUSTING AND THE STRESSFUL WHEN YOU TRUST A BRAND AND IT FAILS AND THEN YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.

AUGUST 23, 2017: WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 MAZDA CX-5 ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPS (SPEED LIMIT 75) THE MOON ROOF SUDDENLY SHATTERED WHILE PASSING THROUGH AN UNDERPASS. IT WAS ROUGHLY 98F WITH CLEAR SKIES AND THERE WAS MINIMAL TRAFFIC. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE CAR FOR ANY DAMAGE I SAW THE MOON ROOF SHATTERED, LIKE IT HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT IN THE MIDDLE.

EXITING FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A THUMP FROM VEHICLE AND THEN DECELARATION. UNABLE TO ACCELARATE NORMALLY. CAR KEPT STOPPING. PULLED OVER FOR FEW MINUTES, THEN TRIED AGAIN AND CAR RESUMED DRIVING NORMALLY. A MONTH LATER WAS IS A STORE PARKING LOT, REVERSING OUT OF MY SPACE, PUT IT IN DRIVE, AND THE CAR BEGAN SHOWING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE, NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER AGAIN AND TURN CAR OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES. THEN TRIED IT AGAIN. THIS TIME PROBLEM REMAINED AND DID NOT GO AWAY. TRIED WAITING A HALF HOUR AND RESTARTING UNSUCCESSFULLY. HAD TO CALL HUSBAND TO HELP. HE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND RECONECTED IT SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. IT SEEMED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. NEXT MORNING PLANNING TO DRIVE TO DEALER TO GET IT FIXED WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN, MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTED IT. WORKED FOR AWHILE, PULLED OVER ON WAY TO DEALERSHIP AND REPEAT SAME ACTIONS. FINALLY MADE IT TO DEALERSHIP. THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS ENGAGING WHEN IT WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES US $400.00 TO REPLACE THE MASS FLOW SENSOR. SEEMS LIKE THIS COULD OF RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND MAZDA SHOULD RECALL THE CX-5 AND REPLACE THE SENSOR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MAZDA DEALERSHIPS FOR A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND ANY PROBLEMS RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS. MY CAR HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND IS A 2013 MAZDA CX-5. WHEN I BOUGHT IT HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT AND I STARTED NOTICING A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN: 'I'M TURNING LEFT FROM A COMPLETE STOP 'TURNING LEFT WHILE COASTING TOWARD A STOP SIGN AND THEN SPEEDING UP ONCE IT TURNS GREEN 'MERGING INTO TRAFFIC GOING LEFT OR RIGHT 'TURNING RIGHT FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHILE COASTING TO THE RED LIGHT AND SPEEDING UP ONCE IT TURNS GREEN CAR STALLS/HESITATES/LINGERS AS IF I'M NOT ACCELERATING. AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF DRIVE. THE RPM INCREASES BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE (UNLESS IT WAS ALREADY COASTING AND CONTINUES TO MOVE FROM MOMENTUM). IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING QUICK ENOUGH INTO THE RIGHT GEAR AND I NOTICE THIS WHILE I'M USUALLY AT A LOWER SPEED TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. I AM OFTEN SCARED THAT A CAR WILL HIT ME FROM BEHIND (OR THE SIDE IF I'M TURNING LEFT) AS I TURN INTO TRAFFIC. IT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF SOMEONE TURNING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THEN STOPPING. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T TAKE A FATAL OR NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT BEFORE MAZDA REALIZES THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN OFF AUXILIARY POWER WHEN PUT IN PARK AND ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. RADIO AND AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS CONTINUE TO RUN. I NEED TO START ENGINE, MOVE CAR BACK AND FORTH TWO OR MORE TIMES, PUT IN PARK AND PUSH IGNITION BUTTON AGAIN TO TOTALLY SHUT OFF POWER. THIS MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, THEN NOT OCCUR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME. MY CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I AM POSITIVE THE CAR IS IN PARK, AND TYPE OF WEATHER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE.IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MAZDA VEHICLES, AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY MAZDA DEALER TOLD MY MECHANIC THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CARS IN ONE WEEK COME IN WITH THIS COMPLAINT.

WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH ALL FOUR OF MY WHEEL BEARINGS. AFTER ONE WENT BAD, I HAD TO REPLACE IT. TWO WEEKS LATER, I HAD TO REPLACE A SECOND ONE, AND THEN THE FINAL TWO WHEEL BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACE ONLY A WEEK AFTER THAT. UPON TAKING IT TO ONE MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THE MAZDA CX-5, AND THEY GET A LOT OF OWNERS THAT COME IN TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN, AND REALIZED THAT WHAT THE MECHANIC HAD TOLD ME WAS TRUE. APPARENTLY, A LOT OF MAZDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I CALLED UP AN OFFICIAL MAZDA SERVICE CENTER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAD TOLD ME THAT THEY EVEN GET BRAND NEW CARS (CX-5) WITH LOW MILEAGE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SO IT'S NOT A MILEAGE ISSUE. THEY'RE CONSTANTLY REPLACING THE WHEEL BEARINGS FOR THE CX-5, REGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE HAS LOW OR HIGH MILEAGE. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, SO TO REPLACE EACH WHEEL BEARING, IT HAS COST ME ABOUT $500 FOR EACH ONE. THAT IS $2000 IN REPAIRS FORA PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE VERY CONSISTENT WITH A LOT CX-5 MODELS. I HAVE OWNED OTHER CARS WITH THREE TIMES THE MILEAGE WITHOUT HAVING SUCH AN ISSUE. I THINK, PERHAPS, MAZDA SHOULD LOOK INTO AS A RECURRING ISSUE ACROSS THE BOARD WITH MANY MAZDA OWNERS. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT IS OF NO FAULT TO THE OWNER. PERHAPS MAZDA SHOULD CONSIDER RELEASING A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT.

SEATS
REAR SEAT LATCHES FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE BRAKES. SEATS WILL UNLATCH WHEN THE VEHICLE BRAKES, RENDERING THE BACK SEAT UNABLE TO BE USED FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. EDMUNDS.COM INCLUDED A COMMENT ABOUT THE REAR SEAT LATCH FAILING IN THEIR REVIEW OF THE MAZDA CX-5 2013. MAZDA SERVICE HAS INCLUDED THEIR NEED FOR REPLACEMENT ON THE ATTACHED INVOICE. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE LATCHES YET BECAUSE I BELIEVE THEY ARE A DEFECTIVE DEVICE AND I DO NOT WANT THEM REPLACED WITH A PART THAT MAY FAIL WHEN A PASSENGER IS RIDING IN THE REAR SEAT.

FRONT SEAT PASSENGER'S FEET HAVE BEEN BURNED WHEN THEY ARE LIFTED OFF THE FLOOR AND TOUCH SOMETHING UNDER GLOVEBOX AREA. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, WHEN I HAVE SAT IN THE PASSANGER SEAT AND OTHER PASSANGERS. THIS HAPPENS TO ONE PERSON AT A TIME, BUT HAPPENS OFTEN. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOT YET A FIX FOR IT. THIS AREA HEATS UP AFTER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING A WHILE.

FAILURE TO START. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE ISSUE WAS THAT I NEEDED A NEW BREAK SWITCH AND I HAD CORRODED WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF MY ISSUE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/DFYWAGVKAVU THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THESE WERE KNOWN ISSUES BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT TIME OF ISSUE. I MAY NEED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP RE PRINT MY INVOICE, I DIDN'T SEE IT IN MY FILES. MY VEHICLE IS A 2013 AND THIS ISSUE WAS IN 2016. WIRES SHOULD NOT BE CORRODED THIS QUICKLY, MY WARRENTY DID NOT COVER THE WIRES. THIS ISSUE SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME.
