Mazda CX-5 electrical problems

THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES OF MY 2016 MAZDA CX-5 HAVE BURNED OUT/STOPPED LIGHTING AFTER 39K MILES AND OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE REPAIR REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1200 PER ASSEMBLY. ($2400 TOTAL). BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND ONE APPARENTLY KNOWN TO MAZDA, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2016 MAZDA CX-5 FROM A NON-MAZDA DEALER, HOWEVER AFTER PAYING $21,000 FOR THE VEHICLE I REALIZED THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS NOT WORKING! MY BIGGEST SURPRISE WAS WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT AND FOUND OUT THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP WOULD NEED REPLACING TO THE TUNE OF $1,100 DOLLARS! TODAY I CALLED MAZDA AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY! IT IS ESPECIALLY DISTRESSING IN THAT SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN THE CARS ARE STILL UNDER 30,000 MILES! I HOPE SOMEONE CAN DO SOMETHING, MAZDA SHOULD HELP CUSTOMERS IN THIS WAY, SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART!

WHEN PARKING AND PUTTING THE CAR IN 'PARK', THE CAR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S IN THE PARK POSITION, AND ALTHOUGH THE CAR SHUTS OFF, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STAYS ON. THIS ALLOWS THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN WITH STEREO, LIGHTS, AND FANS ALL RUNNING, AND EVEN WORSE, WOULD ALLOW SOMEONE TO STEAL THE CAR IF THEY WERE TO GET INTO IT. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE WITH THE 2013 AND 2014 MODEL YEARS.

THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS SUDDENLY CAME ON ALL AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND PUTTING IT IN PARL, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN PRESSING THE ON/OFF BUTTON. AFTER ARRIVING AT OUR DESTINATION, WE NEEDED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF PUTTING IT IN DRIVE AND BACK TO PARK BEFORE THE ENGINE FINALLY SHUT OFF. BUT THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS REMAINED ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF, DRAINING THE BATTERY ALL THE WAY DOWN. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NEARBY MAZDA SERVICE CENTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 MAZDA CX-5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED AND CAUSED SEVERAL SENSORS TO FAIL, INCLUDING THE TIRE AND PARKING BRAKE SENSORS, AS WELL AS THE COMPUTER SETTINGS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE SENSOR FAILURE CAUSED THE REAR BRAKE PADS TO SMOKE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SUSSMAN MAZDA (1606 EASTON ROAD, WILLOW GROVE, PA 19090, (215) 887-1601) WHERE THE DEALER REPLACED ALL THE FAILED SENSORS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE ENGINE CUTS WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND PUSH MY START/STOP BUTTON BUT THE RADIO STAYS ON AFTER. I TRY OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO TURN MY CAR OFF FULLY BY SWITCHING GEAR AND TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED DAILY FOR ME. I NOTICED THAT THIS MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT'S VERY UNSAFE. IT CAN CAUSE BATTERY DRAINAGE AND CAN LEAD TO OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MAZDA CX-5. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY CHANGE INTO THE PARK POSITION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE BATTERY DRAINED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE--THE ENTIRE DASH AND MIDDLE SCREEN GOES BLACK, ALL MUSIC STOPS PLAYING, THE APPLE CARE PLAY DOESN'T WORK, ATTACHED IPHONE SOMETIMES GOES BLANK. MUST PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. PREVIOUSLY AT MAZDA OF OREM (UTAH) FOR RECALL AND THIS SAME ISSUE. RETURNED TODAY--9/1 8/19, DEALER NO IDEA WHY SCREENS SHUTTING OFF. HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE OF PROVOCATION. SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE,
