2018 Mazda CX-5

Touch screen malfunctions, causing actions to take place without being touched. The phone randomly hangs up or randomly calls people. The GPS moves the cursor away from the car making it impossible to follow directions. The radio will go to full volume. The screen will change settings randomly. This is very distracting and dangerous, makes drivers more likely to get in an accident. The touch screen itself is rarely used and has never been damaged. This problem has been reported on many Mazda forums and there has been a recall for the touch screen for the years up to 2017, but the 2018 models have the same screens and are also experiencing "ghost touching". Dealers are charging $1200 to replace. Later models also need to be recalled.

Cracked cylinder head oil drips onto exhaust manifold smoke gets into cabin and could cause fire on exhaust manifold car was purchased used 5/22 and with 46732 miles and now has 74000 in 2/24 it is now at central Maine Chrysler jeep where we purchased it having repairs done under extend warrantee that we bought with the car.we spoke with the service department at a mazda dealer and they said it is very common i feel that mazda should recall it passengers should not have to breath oil fumes or risk being in a car fire we are lucky to have purchased the warrantee but without it the repairs would be to cost prohibitive for the average person thanks

-cylinder head cracked resulting in leaking and burning oil from rear of cylinder head by exhaust manifold. Car has since been repaired by Mazda, but pictures are available from the incident. -Car was unsafe to drive due to leaking oil all over road (Environmental risks and hazard to others), black smoke and burning smell circulated into cabin via AC (health risks to passengers). Prolonged driving in this condition would have resulted in loss of oil and further damage to the car and others. -Car was towed to independent service center then subsequently towed to Mazda dealership -Mazda dealership inspected and confirmed that it was a manufactured defect that they have seen with other cars. Mazda has a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) issued as well. -No warning lamps appeared prior to observed smoke and leak, though it was noticed that the car did jerk slightly at times when stopped at a traffic light

Cylinder crack. Recently got a oil change and driving to work couple days after and smelled oil burning into my cab and smoke coming from underneath my hood. Got to work and opened my hood and noticed large amount of oil on belly and leaking oil from my cylinder. I got this vehicle thru a dealership and when contacted, they stated if I pay $7,500 I could get a trade in!!! After numerous searching, I've found a lot of owners with the 2018 Mazda CX-5 are having the same issue with cylinder heads and no corrective actions. Now I have to pay Mazda (after their defective parts) for their mistakes

Ghost Screen, a very well know issue for Mazda. The screen change on its own, no way to fix it. Mazda recalled all their 2014-16 screen, and the 2017-18 are affected by same issue but they are not taking responsibility for it. Dealership wants to replace the screen, that's over $1,000 repair. Please make Mazda earn their mistake.
