IMPACT WAS ON THE MAZDA DRIVER'S SIDE IN FRONT OF THE WHEEL AND INTO THE CAR- MADE A LEFT HAND TURN DID NOT SEE THE APPROACHING VEHICLE TRAVELING 50 MPH AND HIT THE REAR OF VEHICLE. THAT VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER AND INTO THE SNOWBANK OVER 4 LANES. AIRBAGS IN THE MAZDA DID NOT DEPLOY. CONCERNED AS THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE WAS FOR SAFETY. *JS
OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING 55MPH ON A WINDY ROAD. SOUNDED LIKE A RIFLE SHOT. NO CLIFFS ABOVE US. NO DRAMATIC TEMP OR PRESSURE CHANGED. SEEMED LIKE A SPONTANEOUS EVENT.
I WAS PARKING MY MAZDA CX5 IN A SPOT AT A SHOPPING CENTER AND WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKE WITH MY RIGHT FOOT AND WENT TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FULL SPEED, JUMPING THE CURB AND SMASHING INTO A STOREFRONT. I NOTICED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR (ABOUT A MILE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT), IT WAS MAKING A VROOM SOUND LIKE IT WASN'T TOTALLY GETTING INTO GEAR. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A TRANSMISSION, BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR ISSUE - BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG. I DID NOT HIT THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. WHEN I CALLED MAZDA THEY SAID THEY HAD NO REPORTS OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.
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.
Lower ball joints, lower control arms, and axles failed on the front right and front left of the vehicle while driving. The wheels were partially disconnected with no ability to steer or drive my vehicle. Both failures happened within 2 1/2 months. After the right side failed, the auto mechanic checked the left side yet it failed regardless of all inspections including the annual state requirement. During both failures I was fortunate to be driving through turns at slow rate of speed. Serious injuries and more likely casualties would have occurred had I been driving at a higher rate of speed through traffic when the failures occurred.
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.
I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS AND THE POWER BRAKES HAVE FAILED THREE SEPARATE TIMES. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS THE PEDAL IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH AND WILL NOT GO DOWN. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING IN CITY TYPE TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO JIM ELLIS MAZDA IN MARIETTA GA. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED A BRAKE FLUID FLUSH HAVING SAID THE FLUID WAS DIRTY. ALSO SAID I NEEDED REAR BRAKE PADS DUE TO WEAR BUT THEY WERE FINE.I DID REPLACE THEM WITH NEW AS A PRECAUTION AS I AM A RETIRED AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN. I WILL ATTACH A PHOTO OF THE PADS.THE CAR HAS 49000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED IN OCTOBER 2016. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW SINCE WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS MAY OCCUR AGAIN. EACH TIME THE BRAKES FAILED IT WAS HOT WEATHER AND THE OCCURRENCE WAS SEPT 2ND 2019.
THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SEVERAL INCHES HIGHER THAN THE GAS PETAL IN THIS VEHICLE. IT SLOWS DOWN REACTION TIME WHEN REACTING TO AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE. A VEHICLE WENT AROUND ME. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO QUICKLY MOVE MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE MY FOOT GOT HUNG UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES. THE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKES. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I SAT IN THE PARKING LOT TO ANALYZE AND CORRECT MY MUSCLE MEMORY AND PRACTICE MOVING MY FOOT QUICKLY FROM GAS TO PEDAL. I REALIZED IT TOOK MUCH EFFORT, CONCENTRATION AND QUITE A STRETCH TO GET GET MY FOOT TO THE PEDAL QUICKLY. THE PEDALS SHOULD BE EVEN, OR VERY CLOSE TO EVEN. I DON'T KNOW WHY SOMEONE WOULD THINK THIS IS BETTER, BUT IF IT'S A PREFERENCE THERE SHOULD BE AN ADJUSTMENT. EVEN SHOULD BE THE FACTORY DEFAULT. IT'S COMMON SENSE YOU CAN MOVE MORE QUICKLY STRAIT ACROSS THAN UP AND OVER. THE UNADJUSTIBLE FACTORY POSITION IS OK FOR STANDARD TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, BUT WHEN IN AN UNEXPECTED ENERGENCY SITUATION IT SLOWS DOWN YOUR REACTION TIME CONSIDERABLY. MAZDA SAYS IT'S NORMAN AND ALL NEW CARS ARE THIS WAY. I SAID THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT CORRECT OR ANY LESS OF A SAFETY CONCERN. WHY MAKE A CHANGE THAT SLOWS DOWN REACTION TIME? *TR
VEHICLE COLLIDED INTO TREE WITH SIGNIFICANT FRONT-END DAMAGE BUT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT BELT AND WAS UNHARMED. *TR
The car's electrical system doesn't fully turn off after being put in park and turning the ignition off. The electrical system stays on, despite the engine and ignition turned off. It's a BIG problem that I've seen a lot of other people report. And yet Mazda refuses to address the issue.
I was driving down the road and my right side curtain airbag deployed. I did let my insurance company know but was told that they couldn’t do anything for me since it was not an accident. I called the local Mazda dealership and they told me that they could inspect the vehicle but it would not be on them. That it could have been a rat that chewed on something to cause it to deploy because I was not the first owner of the vehicle. There was no other damage other than the airbag and where it came through on the side.
The contact owns a 2014 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at a slow speed and attempting to parallel park, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine before the steering wheel seized. No warning light was illuminated. The contact's husband exited the vehicle to inspect the vehicle, and another person stopped to assist and became aware that the ball joint had detached. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering knuckle had separated from the strut assembly, causing the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not under warranty. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V203000 (STEERING); however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 86,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 190,000.
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 .
