Mazda CX-5 electrical problems

THE INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY WILL REBOOT CONTINUOUSLY, IN WEATHER BELOW 60 DEGREES, AND WILL NOT STABILIZE UNTIL THE CAR IS WARMED. DURING THIS TIME YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS ANY OF THE FEATURES. THIS CAN TAKE 20 MINUTES OR MORE. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION OR EXPLANATION.

HAVE HAD ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS HAVE FOUND OVER 35 PEOPLE ONLINE WITH SAME ISSUE. WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNING OFF VEHICLE THE RADIO REMAINS ON. HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME. SOMETIMES IF I TURN CAR BACK ON AND PUT SHIFTER IN DRIVE THEN BACK TO PARK IT TURNS CAR BACK OFF. BUT EVERYTIME MY DAUGHTERS DRIVE MY CAR OR VALETS PARK THE CAR OR I TAKE CAR TO REPAIR SHOP RADIO STAYS ON FOR ALL OF THEM KILLING BATTERY. TOOK MY CAR TO AUTOBODY SHOP AND EXPLAINED THE HACK TO KEEP CAR FROM DYING. THEY CALLED SAID THEY DID DIAGNOSTIC OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CODES SHOWED UP SO THEY CONVINCED ME TO REPLACE BATTERY. SAME ERROR CODES AFTER REPLACING BATTERY. PLEASE CREATE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE NOT KNOWING IF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS WILL BE STRANDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MAZDA CX-5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHUT-OFF WHILE DEPRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON. AFTER PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF HOWEVER, THE ELECTRONICS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ACTIVATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND ADVISED TO PAY $395 FOR REPAIRS BEING AS THOUGH THE CONSUMER WAS NOT AT FAULT.

WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF (PUSH BUTTON), THE CAR DOES NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THE ELECTRONICS DO NOT SHUT OFF WITH THE CAR AND DRAIN THE BATTERY LEAVING YOU STRANDED THE NEXT TIME YOU TRY TO START THE CAR. FROM WHAT I HAVE DISCOVERED, IT IS THE GEAR SHIFTER/SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION. SEE THE SAME COMPLAINT FROM MANY OTHERS: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T49115_DS799849

MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. WHEN I TURN THE ENGINE OFF THE RADIO AND LIGHTS REMAIN ON. AND, THEN I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND MOVE THE CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE AND TURN THE WHEEL THIS HAVE TO BE MULTIPLE TIMES SOMETIMES ABOUT 10 TIMES TO GET THE CAR OFF. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN LATE AND A BATTERY REPLACEMENT. THIS IS HUGE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMERS AND OWNERS OF THE MAZDA.

WHEN I TURN OFF THE ENGINE, THE ELECTRONICS (LIGHTS, RADIO) IN THE CAR STAY ON AND THE DOORS WON'T LOCK IF I WANTED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. I'VE FOUND THAT, WHILE IN PARK, I NEED TO PULL THE GEARSHIFT HARD TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE CAR TO "REGISTER" THAT I'M ACTUALLY IN PARK. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT MAZDA RECOGNIZES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, BUT WON'T DO A RECALL ON IT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW. I'M ADDING AN ARBITRARY DATE BELOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MAZDA CX-5. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STATIONARY AND ATTEMPTING TO SHUT-OFF VEHICLE USING THE PUSH TO START BUTTON, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF HOWEVER, THE BATTERY REMAINED ON CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000.

KNOWN GHOSTING ISSUE CAUSED BY MANUFACTURING AND DIAGNOSED BY MAZDA. THE LIGHTS INSIDE FLICKER, THE RADIO/NAVIGATION/TELEPHONE (BLUETOOTH) STARTS, STOPS, AND MOVES AS IT WANTS TO. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTIONS AND IS UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER MODEL CARS FOR THIS, HOWEVER, MAZDA WON'T FIX MY CAR EVEN THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM.
