2013 Mazda CX-5

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MAZDA CX-5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VENT FUNCTIONS FAILED FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET BEEN NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,541. ..UPDATED 08/31/17 *BF HEATER CORE FAILURE AND FAULTY COOLANT. UPDATED 9/27/18*JB

CHECK ENGINE, TPS, AND TCS LIGHTS COME ON AND VEHICLE STARTS BUCKING AND DECELERATING. PULLED OVER, DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND BUCKING ARE GONE AT RESTART. ISSUE OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES IN A SPAN OF A COUPLE DAYS, SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP. P0101 AND P061B PROBLEMS PRESENT. MAF SENSOR SEEMS FINE. CONTINUES MALFUNCTIONING AFTER OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION. TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REFLASHING.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
