I HAD THE CAR STARTED AND TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND THE CAR STOPPED. DID SEVERAL TIMES SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING OFF. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL FLICKERS. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES EVERY THING BACK TO NORMAL. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TRIED IT SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN AND I EVEN DECIDED TO TRY AND DRIVE AND TURN THE LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPPED. WENT HOME STOPPED AT MY MAILBOX TO GET THE MAIL. TURNED CAR OFF, BACK ON, LIGHTS A FLASHING, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, DROVE INTO MY DRIVEWAY. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON A FEW MORE TIMES. FINALLY WAS WORKING OK. AND IT HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS SINCE. AFRAID TO BE DRIVING THE CAR AT NIGHT THOUGH.

AUXILIARY SYSTEM WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF! THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BUT THE IGNITION STAYS IN ACCESSORY MODE. HAVE TO TAP BRAKES, GEAR SHIFT, AND SOMETIMES STOP/START CAR AGAIN,WHILE REPEATEDLY PRESSING THE IGNITION STARTER BUTTON. IT'S COMPLETELY RANDOM AND IT HAS DRAINED MY CAR BATTERY TO THE POINT WHERE IT DIED AND MY CAR HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS FROM OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH THIS MAZDA. THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHARGE $145 JUST TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THIS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND A SAFETY LIABILITY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS MALFUNCTION. THEY SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE SWITCH UNIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE!!

RADIO WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE CAR TURNS OFF. VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND AFTER PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN OFF. LEAVING THE RADIO ON DRAINS THE BATTERY. IF I START THE CAR IN PUT IN ANOTHER GEAR AND BACK TO PARK AND PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON IT SOMETIMES TURNS THE RADIO OFF AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. THE ENGINE HOWEVER WILL TURN OFF. THE CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I DID LOOK ONLINE AND IT HAPPENS FREQUENCY TO MAZDA CX-5 2014 VEHICLES BECAUSE THERE IS A VIDEO ON HOW TO REPLACE THE PARK SWITCH PART TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. ALSO, THE TECHNICIAN AT THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I GOT THE PARK SWITCH INSTALLED COMMENTED THAT HE SEES A LOT OF CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE. THAT IS WHY I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY MAZDA. THANK YOU.
WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR, IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE IN THE PARK POSITION AND IT DOES NOT SHUT DOWN PROPERLY. ACCESSORIES SUCH AS THE RADIO AND DISPLAYS DO NOT TURN OFF. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE SAYING THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY SHIFTER SWITCH.
FAULTY (DEFECTIVE) SHIFTER SWITCH (PART# KDYO-46-040.) PROHIBITS THE CAR FROM TURNING OFF RELIABLY WHEN PUT "IN PARK." THIS NEEDS TO BE CATEGORIZED AS AN OFFICIAL RECALL.
WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE OFTEN DOES NOT FULLY TURN OFF (GOES INTO ACCESSORY MODE). IT SEEMS TO BE A SHIFTER ISSUE, OR IT DOES NOT KNOW IT'S IN PARK. I HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR REPORTS ON THIS AT HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T49115_DS799849
WHEN TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE ENGINE STOPS BUT THE CAR DOES NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, MOVE IT, PUT IT BACK IN PARK, AND TRY AGAIN. IT HAS TAKEN UP TO 5 TIMES TO TURN THE CAR OFF.
WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT, THE CAR WON'T SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY ON SHORT TRIPS. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF BUT THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T FUNCTION AND THE RADIO AND OTHER STUFF STAYS ON. IT CAN RUN YOUR BATTERY DOWN WHICH IS UNSAFE, IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND YOU PUSH THE POWER BUTTON TO SHUT IT DOWN. THEY SAID I HAD T…

WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT, THE CAR WON'T SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY ON SHORT TRIPS. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF BUT THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T FUNCTION AND THE RADIO AND OTHER STUFF STAYS ON. IT CAN RUN YOUR BATTERY DOWN WHICH IS UNSAFE, IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND YOU PUSH THE POWER BUTTON TO SHUT IT DOWN. THEY SAID I HAD TO AGREE TO $150 FOR DIAGNOSE. THEY SAID THE SHIFTER HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR $600. THEY LET THE AIR OUT OF MY TIRES. I HAD THEM AT 34. THEY WROTE 34 BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON TO INDICATE LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THREE TIRES HAD 30 PSI AND ONE HAD 34 PSI.
I PARKED THE CAR IN MY GARAGE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF BUT THE RADIO CONSOLE STAYED ON SO I STARTED THE CAR AND SHUT OFF 4-5 TIMES THEN WENT IN THE HOUSE. THIS MORNING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I CHECKED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PARKING SENSOR PART # KDY046040
