2019 Mazda CX-5

When the system think there might be a collision and initiates a hard braking even when there might be enough space in front of you. Multiple times, the car behind me had to do a hard break as well not to hit me from behind. This also happens when switching lanes. As you are in the middle of switching, if sometimes thinks you are getting to close to the car in the original lane and it starts a hard break. Since I’m in between lanes, it causes the car on the other lane to do a hard break also, almost causing a chain accident. A google search revealed multiple people complaining of that. The system is too aggressive even at it’s lowest setting. Mazda informed me I can only turn it off one drive cycle at a time. This system has almost caused more accidents than it protected me from them.

Driving on highway, cruise control ser to 82, no cars in front. The car suddenly jolted twice, engine light and battery light comes, lost of power. Pulled over to shoulder in the middle of nowhere in Nevada. Tried to start the car, engine won't turn on, starter just kept cycling. Veh temp was just below 210 with a 1/4 tank of gas. Called dealership and service person asked is to use key to turn on car, no change and provided no other solution other than to take to dealership with the closest one being over 300 miles away. We decided to unhook and rebook the positive side of battery. Car restarted and currently driving it home as I write this complaint. 600 miles overdue for maintenance (by date due on July 26, 2021) and was scheduled upon return from trip which at the time should be approx 1000 miles over due.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 MAZDA CX5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED AN OIL LEAK ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COMPASS MAZDA (200 DOLSON AVE LOT A 204, MIDDLETOWN, NY 10940: (844) 258-3818) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MASTERCYCLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

BROUGHT IT IN NOV 2020 REGARDING SMELLS AND ENGINE ISSUES AS WELL AS ALIGNMENT. NEITHER WERE TAKEN CARE OF. THEN MARCH 2021,ENGINE WAS LEAKING FLUID AND SMOKING, AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 20K. DID NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL UNTIL LATER THAT WEEK. AFTER A MONTH, I GOT MY CAR BACK. AFTER LEAVING THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SMOKE, BROUGHT IT BACK. GAVE NO RENTAL. DEALER SAID IT WAS LEFT OVER FLUID FROM WHEN THEY REPLACED IT. CAR IS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE AND SMELLS. UNDER SHIELD FELL OFF AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TWICE.TIRE PRESSURE WAS GOING OFF AND BROUGHT IT IN TWICE FOR THEM TO SAY THEY CANT FIND WHERE THE SLOW LEAK IS OR WHY SO THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE MAZDA INSURANCE FOR TIRES.

I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG, SOUNDING LIKE A GUNSHOT THAT WENT OFF, WHEN THE SUNROOF ABOVE MY HEAD VIOLENTLY SHATTERED WHILE I DRIVING TO WORK. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND GOT COVERED WITH PIECES OF GLASS. THE GLASS SCRATCHED ME ON THE FACE, CLOSE TO MY EYE. I AM IN SHOCK AND I AM STILL FINDING SMALL PIECES OF GLASS ALL OVER MY BODY EVEN AFTER TAKING A SHOWER.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION - I WAS PULLING IN TO MY GARAGE, HALF WAY INTO THE GARAGE, THE CAR ACCELERATED, WITHOUT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND RAN INTO MOTORCYCLE AND GARAGE BACK WALL. THERE ARE TIRE TRACTION MARKS WHERE IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UNATTENDED, AND TIRE TREAD FROM MULTIPLE ROTATIONS OF THE TIRE WHERE THE VEHICLE FORWARD MOTION WAS STOPPED BY THE WALL. ANOTHER DRIVER OF THE CAR STATED THAT THE NIGHT BEFORE, WHEN FOOT WAS TAKEN OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE.

VEHICLE DISPLAY ON DASHBOARD, STEERING WHEEL, SHIFT CONSOLE, AUDIO CONTROLS, SEATS ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS ARE NOT LIGHTED. UNABLE TO KNOW WHICH BUTTONS TO PUSH BECAUSE PRINTING IS SO SMALL AND MANY CONTROLS ARE GROUPED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. MAZDA CX5 OWNER'S MANUAL IS FOR ALL MAZDA MODELS. THERE IS NO INDICATION AS TO WHAT FEATURE IS INCLUDED ON MY CAR. THIS CAR LACKS LIGHTED DISPLAY AND CONTAINS SMALL LETTERS/NUMERALS WHILEPARKED, MOVING OR DRIVING IN DAY OR NIGHT; MAZDA DEALERS IN TWO DIFFERENT TOWNS REPORT UNABLE TO IMPROVE SITUATION "THAT'S HOW IT IS" .
