Mazda CX-5 electrical problems

WHEN TURNING OFF ENG, VIA PRESSING THE ELECTRONIC START/STOP BUTTON. THE RADIO STAYS ON. UNLESS YOU PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN ON THE ACCESSORIES, THEN PRESSING BRAKE DOWN, THEN MOVING THE AUTOMATIC SHIFT LEVER FROM PARK TO DRIVE, TO PARK AGAIN AND PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON AGAIN, THEN THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MANY MONTHS.

THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. I AGREE WITH COMPLAINTS 1090985 AND 10885776 IN THAT IT SEEMS TO BE FINE 90% OF THE TIME, WHICH LULLS YOU INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. NOW, I MAKE SURE THAT HE LIGHTS FLASH AS I WALK AWAY. I HAD TURNED OFF THE CHIRP BECAUSE IT DISTURBS THE PEACE, BUT MAY TURN IT BACK ON, SINCE WALKING AWAY AND LOOKING BACK ALSO HAS ITS RISKS. I COULD BE WALKING AWAY TOO QUICKLY SOMETIMES OR SOMETHING ELSE IN MY POCKET MAY BE SHIELDING THE KEY FOB, BUT IF OTHERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, MAYBE IT IS NOT A USER ISSUE. PERHAPS THE OWNER'S MANUAL SHOULD MENTION THESE POSSIBILITIES, IF THEY INDEED ARE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AN UNLOCKED CAR IS A SERIOUS SECURITY RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 MAZDA CX-5. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC, THE SEAT HEATER BECAME VERY HOT. IN AN ATTEMPT TO TURN DOWN THE SEAT HEATER, WHERE THE SWITCH BUTTON WAS "EXACTLY AN INCH" FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE CONTACT UNINTENTIONALLY HIT THE IGNITION SWITCH BUTTON AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL. THE VEHICLE RESTATED 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE HIGHWAY PATROL ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FREMONT MAZDA LOCATED IN THE FREMONT AUTO MALL (39800 BALENTINE DR, NEWARK, CA 94560) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT HEATER SWITCH WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,300.

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND GO TO TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WON'T TURN OFF. I THEN HAVE TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND FORCEFULLY PUSH FORWARD AND LEFT (SOMETIMES 5+ TIMES) AND THEN EVENTUALLY IT WILL ALLOW ME TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND I SAW THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 MAZDA CX-5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SMART CITY BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN ACTIVATED AND MODIFIED TO A SPECIFIC DISTANCE OR SPEED. THE DEALER (MAZDA OF MESQUITE, 15900 LYNDON B JOHNSON FWY, MESQUITE, TX 75150, (972) 686-6200) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A TSB THAT INDICATED THAT, WITHOUT A WARNING INDICATOR OR WARNING CHIME, THE FUNCTION WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPLICATED AND THE SYSTEM WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT SEND A TECHNICIAN TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINE IF THE FUNCTION WAS PROPERLY WORKING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 0.

ON 07/28/2017, AIR BAG LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN TO FLASH WHILE DRIVING ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS OCCUPIED. LASTED UNTIL VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. MAZDA DEALER FOUND CODE B00A0 FOR PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM. THEY RESET THE CODE AND TESTED AIR BAG SYSTEM, THEY STATED THAT ALL SYSTEMS PASS TEST. ON 10/16/2017, AIR BAG LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE WARNING BEEPING START UP WHILE DRIVING ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT OCCUPIED. I CONSIDERED THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEED TO BE REPORTED. I RECORDED VIDEOS.

WHEN I START THE CAR ALL THE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON AS I DROVE THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED RAPIDLY THE NAVIGATION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR STARTED TO DIE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS LIT THE WARNING ABOUT A POWER STEERING FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE AND KEYLESS ENTRY PROBLEM, ABS, SPEED MONITORING TIRE PRESSURE ALL COMES UP IN THE WARNING AREA. THE POWER STEERING DOES FAIL MAKING IT HARD TO TURN. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE IT COMES FROM A FAULTY GROUND CABLE ISSUE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR 3 DIFFERENT TIMES NOW ON THIS CAR.

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM REBOOTS NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER ENGINE IS STARTED AND CONTINUES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR. DURING REBOOT CYCLE, RADIO, NAVIGATION, AND OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ARE UNAVAILABLE. SYSTEM MAY REBOOT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1 AND 10 TIMES BEFORE THE SYSTEM STABILIZES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING, DAILY OCCURRENCE, CAN OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY, AND BEGAN 2 MONTHS AFTER VEHICLE DELIVERY.
