2014 Mazda MAZDA6

When you turn the car off the accessory stays on. In other words it doesn’t shut off all the way. That is a hazard because the battery will go dead in time. I looked on the internet and found a lot of complaints about this issue with these cars. The car has a defective shifter switch. Mazda won’t recall the part even though there have been many complaints. This is a defective part. If a part is defective they should recall the part. I don’t see why I should have to pay $400.00 to put a $50 part in my car that is defective. My car is available for inspection upon request.

I think it is unfair that a manufacturing problem has been unnoticed and left to people to pay for. I am already paying enough for this car to also have to worry about a manufacturing problem that has been left unattended by the company. This certainly is very dangerous as I might have the cars battery die and have no way of getting immediate help and right now it's just the car not acknowledging the parking mode but what if one day the car starts using the wrong shift unknowingly to me and I end up in a car accident because of this? I wont be able to do anything as this has been left unnoticed and no recall has been made even with the dangers it presents to the driver and the car itself.

TL* THE CONTACT OWED A 2014 MAZDA M6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING 55 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY AND CAUSED HIM TO DRIVE INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT STATED SHE DOES NOT KNOW IF ANY WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER DISLOCATED HIS LEFT SHOULDER AND HIS RIGHT SHOULDER WAS SPRAINED, BOTH HANDS WERE SPRAINED, HIS LEFT LEG WAS SPRAINED AND HE EXPERIENCED BACK PAINS. THE DRIVER WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AN AMBULANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

AS MANY OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED, I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE ACCESSORY MODE STAYING ON AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE THE PARKING SWITCH INSIDE THE SHIFTER WEARS OFF AND THE CAR DOESN?T REGISTER THE CAR IS IN PARK. MAZDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS, AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED BATTERY DRAINAGE AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE WITH TIME. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN RIGHT AROUND THE 50-75K MILEAGE, JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. IT JUST SEEMS TOO PREMATURE AND NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AFTER 100K MILES. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. *TR

AS I PUT IN PARK MODE TO TURN OFF (PUSH BUTTON) VEHICLE STAY ON ACCESSORY , RADIO AND ALARM BEEPING STAYS ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF... I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND REVIEWS ON MAZDA 6 & MAZDA CX5 EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, GOING BACK FROM 2012 AND I JUST HAD A RECALL DONE ON MY CALIPERS, AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE DOOR PADDING BUT NOTHING SHOWED OF NEW MATERIAL. WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE START /STOP PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM.. TODAY I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND READ LOTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS IT NOT A RECALL ISSUE THEIR HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS... THANK YOU FOR READING MY ISSUES. *TR

I OWN A 2014 MAZDA 6 GRAND TOURING. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 72K MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO AND STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY AFTER HITTING THE IGNITION BUTTON. THE CAR PANEL WOULD SAY THAT I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARKING EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS ALREADY IN PARKING MODE. USUALLY I WAS ABLE TO SIMPLY MOVE THE SHIFT STICK A BIT AND IT WOULD ALLOW ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY. BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORST OVER TIME AND IT'S BEGINNING TO AFFECT MY BATTERY LIFE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. BASED ON THE INFORMATION I FOUND MANE OF THE 2014 MAZDA 6 MODELS (SPECIFICALLY THOSE MANUFACTURED LATE 2013 AND EARLY 2014) HAVE BEEN SHOWING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH UNIT. MAZDA FOUND THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT IN THE NEWER CARS BUT A RECALL WAS NEVER MADE FOR THOSE CARS WITH THE BAD SWITCH UNIT. I TRIED CONTACTING THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEM TODAY AND THEIR ANSWER WAS THAT BECAUSE A RECALL HADN'T BEEN DONE THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM HAS BEEN UNNOTICED AND LEFT TO PEOPLE TO PAY FOR. I AM ALREADY PAYING ENOUGH FOR THIS CAR TO ALSO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN LEFT UNATTENDED BY THE COMPANY. THIS CERTAINLY IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I MIGHT HAVE THE CARS BATTERY DIE AND HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING IMMEDIATE HELP AND RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST THE CAR NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PARKING MODE BUT WHAT IF ONE DAY THE CAR STARTS USING THE WRONG SHIFT UNKNOWINGLY TO ME AND I END UP IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS? I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AS THIS HAS BEEN LEFT UNNOTICED AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE EVEN WITH THE DANGERS IT PRESENTS TO THE DRIVER AND THE CAR ITSELF.
