The contact called on behalf of his daughter who owns a 2015 Mazda CX5. The contact stated that while his daughter was loading groceries in the trunk, the liftgate dropped unexpectedly and the corner of the liftgate hit her in the head, causing a laceration. The contact's daughter was taken to urgent care where she was informed that she had sustained a laceration and three staples were put on the laceration. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V644000 (Structure); however, the recall remedy failed to resolve the safety issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the recall repair was one-time free of charge and they were not obligated to repair additional failures. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

MY LIFT GATE FAILED AND SLAMMED SHUT. NOW, THE LIFT GATE IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO OPEN AND I HAVE TO HOLD THE LIFT GATE OPEN MYSELF. OTHERWISE IT SLAMS SHUT. LUCKILY WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS NOT DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE LIFT GATE, I HAD FREE HANDS AND REACTED QUICKLY ENOUGH TO CATCH IT. I DID HAVE THE LIFT GATE SUPPORTS REPLACED ALREADY ON JULY 1, 2017 AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL 16V644000, BUT IT APPEARS THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ALSO HAD THE ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS, AND A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE LIFETIME FOR THESE SUPPORTS GIVEN THE POTENTIAL RISK. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A LOUD BOOM SOUND. NEXT THING I KNOW, PIECES OF THE SUNROOF START FLYING OFF THE CAR. NOTHING WAS AROUND THE CAR AND NOTHING HIT THE CAR. THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS TO THE SUNROOF GLASS AND THE GLASS WAS BUBBLED OUT, NOT IN LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT IF SOMETHING HIT IT.

WINDSHIELD GOT THE L-SHAPED CRACK AT THE TOP. NO STONE CHIP, THE CRACK APPEARED WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, WE WATCHED IT HAPPENED FROM THE BENCH IN A PARK ACROSS.

Transmission failed, and vehicle is available for inspection. The incident occurred after exiting a highway and coming to halt at stop light. Vehicle wouldn't exceed above 5 mph after moving forward, it surged, downshifted, and come to a complete stop. This created an incident where other motorist nearly rear ended occupants in subject vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by both dealer as well as independent mechanic and before were able to replicate the issue. No warning lamps or messages appeared. There were no other signs of a potential problem prior to failure. The failure was sudden and unexpected.

Car had 63,000 miles on it. Began making very loud noise. Brought to private mechanic, then dealer. Both agreed car had mechanical failure of rear differential. The full system needed replacing for safety. All agreed this should not occur with only 63,000 miles.
Feb 11, 2022
The transmission quit on my at 59K miles. Wont go into drive, but will in reverse. I took the care to a transmission shop, and it needs rebuilt. No warning lamps, messages, etc. I was stopped at a red light, luckily I wasn't driving at it just stopped.
Aug 13, 2021
TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. WOULD NOT ADVANCE AND TO THE NEXT GEAR AND AUTOMATICALLY KEPT BREAKING EVERY FEW FEET. HAD TO PULL OVER AND BE TOWED. NO ADVANCE WARNING OR PRIOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. CAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT UP. LUCKY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65.

CAR IS SLIPPING. TRANSMISSION IS SKIPPING GEARS AT LOW SPEEDS.

While driving on the interstate, the passenger side front door glass shattered unexpectedly causing an eye injury. There was no noise of a rock hitting the glass or anything. Previous to the incident, the glass had no cracks or chips in it.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE HAS 61,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT A NEW HEATER CORE IS NEEDED AND THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED ON THIS PART. THE ERROR CODE SHOWED PO11A. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $2,367.00 TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE. MAZDA CORPORATE WAS CONTACTED AND SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY ARE NOT WILL TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. THE REFERENCE NUMBER FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS 1-3153481645. THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SAID THE AVERAGE MILEAGE THIS OCCURS IS 39,029 MILES. I REALIZE THIS MAY NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THIS IS SOMETHING MAZDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND. THERE IS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IF THE PART FAILS THIS EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

BOTH SUN VISORS HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2015 MAZDA CX-5.THEY BOTH WERE CONSTANTLY FALLING DOWN IMPAIRING MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD.

THE TRUNK DOES NOT STAY UP WHEN OPENING...IT SLAMMED DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE HEAD.
Jan 11, 2018
WHILE CLEANING OUR 2015 MAZDA CX-5 THAT WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY, I RAN THE SEAT FORWARD TO VACUUM UNDER IT. WHEN MOVING IT BACK, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT WOULD NOT BUDGE. WHEN WE INSPECTED ALL OVER UNDERNEATH THE SEAT WE COULD FIND NOTHING IMPEDING THE SLIDING MECHANISM. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC AS IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE SEAT ALL THE WAY FORWARD. AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND HARD WORK, OUR MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE SEAT AND SLIDING COMPONENT AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER SLIDE UNIT (PART # KDY2-88-4FOA POWER SLIDE LF-S ) FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT. HE FOUND THAT THE CABLE TO THE POWER UNIT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT HAD BROKEN. THE RIGHT SIDE APPEARS TO BE WEAKENING AS WELL. THROUGH HIS RESEARCH, OUR MECHANIC FOUND A TSB BULLETIN ON THIS EXACT SAFETY ISSUE. (TSB #09-006-16) HE EXPLAINED THAT THE NTSB HAD TOLD MAZDA TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN SUBSEQUENT MODEL YEARS BUT THAT LEAVES US, AND PROBABLY OTHERS, IN THE LURCH FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SOUND ABOVE ME, FOLLOWED BY SUDDENLY FEELING WIND COMING INTO THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS HEARING GLASS ROLL OFF THE TOP OF THE CAR. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER I SAW THAT THERE WAS A HUGE HOLE IN THE SUNROOF BUT NO OTHER DAMAGE. THERE WERE NO DENTS OR SCRATCHES ANYWHERE ON THE TOP OF THE CAR WHERE I HEARD THE SOUND COME FROM. THE REMAINING GLASS WAS ANGLED UPWARDS AS IF THE GLASS HAD EXPLODED. LUCKILY I HAD THE SLIDER UNDER THE GLASS CLOSED SO NO GLASS MADE IT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS I WAS DRIVING. HAD IT NOT BEEN CLOSED IT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY INJURED MYSELF OR MY TWO CHILDREN OR POTENTIALLY CAUSED A COLLISION.
Jan 17, 2020
HAD AN INCIDENT WERE THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW JUST CRACKED INTO PIECES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. NOBODY WAS INJURED BUT WE WERE NOT SURE WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS (THERE WERE NO CARS ADJACENT TO US AND IN THE LANES FURTHER).

WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK WHILE SITTING IN GARAGE. CRACK SPREAD QUICKLY FROM TOP CENTER OF WINDSHIELD AND CRACK HOOKED BACK UP TOWARDS TOP APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES LONG. WINDSHIELD WAS FINE THE DAY BEFORE . NO ROCKS OF ITEMS HIT WINDSHIELD.
Aug 30, 2017
THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT 2015 MAZDA CX-5 DESIGN PROBLEM WHEN ONE OR BOTJH REAR WINDOWS ARE OPEN: THE PROBLEM IS WHEN ONE OR BOTH ARE DOWN A FEW INCHES OR MORE A VERY LOUD THUMPING NOISE WITH FEELING OF PULSING AIR CAUSING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE HEARING & POTENTIAL OF HEADACHES IF WINDOWS NOT CLOSED IMMEDIATELY. FRONT WINDOWS USUALLY UP BUT CAN BE OPENED A FEW INCHES AND THUMPING STILL VERY LOUD. THIS SITUATION HAPPENS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 25 MPH & WORSE ON HIGHWAYS. THIS SAME PROBLEM REPORTED TO NHTSA ON 9/19/2014, WITH I.D. #10637592. AS OTHER COMPLAINT NOTED MAZDA IS AWARE OF PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO & SUPPOSEDLY HAS NOT DONE ANY PROACTIVE STEPS TO FIX IT. THEY SUPPOSEDLY HAVE A KIT CONSUMERS CAN PURCHASE. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED CAR IF PROBLEM WAS KNOWN AHEAD OF TIME OR HAPPENED DURING TEST DRIVE. MAZDA IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL TO CONSUMERS AND MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS COVER UP. THEY SHOULD RECALL ALL EFFECTED MODELS & APPLY FIX. I HOPE THE NHTSA DOES A SURVEY OF ALL PURCHASED CX-5 SINCE 2013 TO FIND OUT TRUE NUMBER OF CONSUMERS IMPACTED. IT WOULD BE NICE TO OPEN WINDOWS AS NEEDED TO LET INSIDE HEAT OUT OR TO SEE TO OUTSIDE AS NEEDED FOR SAFETY WITHOUT BEING SUBJECTED TO THUMPING SOUNDS THAT DO HURT HEARING & CAUSE FOR HEADACHES. TK

CAR SAT FOR APPROX 4 HOURS WHILE VISITING RELATIVES, ON MY HOME I NOTICED A CRACK APPROX 8-10" LONG IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, FROM THE BASE UNDER THE WIPERS UP TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD CURVING TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE AT ALMOST A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AT THE END. THERE ARE NO MARKS THAT LOOK LIKE ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD, IT'S A STRAIGHT CLEAN CRACK. I'M HOPING THE DEALER WILL COVER IT BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD. I WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELDS, IF THEY ARE CRACKING LIKE THIS FOR NO APPARENT REASON, OR BECAUSE OF WEATHER CHANGES, OR BECAUSE YOU'RE WASHING YOUR CAR ON A HOT DAY, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM IF THE CARS ARE ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT, THEY WOULD NEVER WITHSTAND THE IMPACT AND SHATTER TO A MILLION PIECES! HOW SAFE IS THAT? THE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH BETTER MADE WINDSHIELDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA CX-5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND A LOUD EXPLOSION HAD OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (ELDORADO MAZDA LOCATED AT 2150 N. CENTRAL EXPRESS WAY MCKINNEY TX) BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. INVALID VIN.
Aug 28, 2020
2 WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF A NEW 2015 MAZDA CX5 WE NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. EXACTLY ON THE TOP PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THE MIDDLE COMING DOWN TO A T. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER OF PURCHASE AND A SERVICE EMPLOYEE LOOKED AT IT STARTED DIGGING IN A SPOT AND STATED THAT A ROCK MUST OF HIT THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE HE FOUND A HOLE. NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT ANSWER THE SUPERVISOR FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND UPON LOOKING AT THE WINDSHIELD HE POINTED TO A COMPLETE DIFFERENT SPOT AND THEN POINTED TO A THIRD SPOT THAT HE CLAIMED WAS A HOLE. HOW DOES A WINDSHIELD OF A BRANDNEW CAR NEVER ON THE EXPRESSWAY HAVE 3 IMPACT SPOTS THAT ARE EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND WITH THAT REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. SINCE THE WINDSHIELD IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE BUT THE DEALERSHIP I AM NO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF SOMETHING THAT WAS A DEFECT. *TR
Apr 20, 2015
CRACKED WINDSHIELD WE WERE FILLING UP GAS AT A GAS STATION & SUDDENLY WE HEARD A POP SOUND. I TRIED TO GO AROUND THE CAR & SEE WHAT HAPPENED BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING. THE CAR WAS STILL PUMPING GAS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. NEXT DAY, THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE MORNING BUT AFTER PARKING AT WORK FOR COUPLE HOURS & COMING BACK TO THE CAR, WE NOTICED A BIG CRACK ON THE SCREEN. *TR

HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AND HAVE GOTTEN 2 LARGE CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD FROM UNHEARD AND UNSEEN OBJECTS. UPON ATTEMPT TO REPAIR BY GLASS REPAIR COMPANY THE WINDSHIELD PROCEEDED TO CRACK OVER 15 INCHES. I AM REPLACING THE WINDSHIELD WITH NON OEM GLASS AS THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE OEM GLASS CONSIDERING THE MULTIPLE REPORTS BY OTHER OWNERS. *JS
Dec 03, 2014
VEHICLE PARKED. GOT INTO VEHICLE AND NOTICED LARGE CRACK IN WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK WAS NOT THERE 2 HOURS EARLIER WHEN I GOT OUT OF IT. THE CRACK STARTS AT TOP CENTER IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND RUNS DOWN TO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND FORMS A 'S' SHAPE AND STOPS BENEATH THE MIRROR. IT IS ABOUT 18 INCHES LONG. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS ATTACHED TO A PANEL THAT HAS RAIN SENSOR AND SMART STOP TECH PACKAGE ATTACHED TO CENTER OF WINDSHIELD RIGHT UNDER WHERE THE CRACK APPEARS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. I AM SEEING EVIDENCE OF MANY MORE SIMILAR CRACKS APPEARING UNDER THE TECH PACKAGE MOUNT ON THE FRONT CENTER WINDSHIELD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I WAS HIT IN THE RIGHT SIDE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THAT THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT HITTING THE CENTRAL METAL BARRIER OF THE ROAD IN THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. THE VEHICLE MADE A 360 DEGREES TURN AND HIT THE BARRIER AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE. FINALLY, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE CENTER LANE (THIS IS A THREE LANE HIGHWAY). ACCORDING TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY THIS VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. NOW COMES THE WORST PART. OF THE FOUR AIRBAGS, TWO IN THE FRONT, TWO SIDE CURTAINS, ONLY THE RIGHT CURTAIN ACTIVATED. THE THREE OTHER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. LUCKLY, THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL HARM TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER OR TO ME, BUT THE MENTAL ANGUISH IS UNBEARABLE. MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS NOT MENTALLY PREPARED TO DRIVE AGAIN.

SEATS
5 complaints
The contact’s daughter owns a 2015 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated that the front driver’s side seat was previously moved in a forward position; however, when her son attempted to move the seat backward to drive the vehicle, the seat remained seized in the forward position. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

I'M NOW DRIVING A 2015 MAZDA CX-5 TOURING AND I FIND THE HEAD RESTRAINT IN MY MAZDA IS ANGLED TOO FAR FORWARD AND IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, CAUSING NECK STRAIN AND PAIN. I LIKE TO SIT UPRIGHT IN MY CAR AND WHEN SEATED LIKE THIS THE HEAD RESTRAINT FORCES ME TO ANGLE MY HEAD DOWN SO I AM LOOKING AT THE DASH, NOT OUT THE WINDSHIELD. I FIND THAT RECLINING THE SEAT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION BUT IT PUTS ME IN A POSITION THAT IS LESS RESPONSIVE AND MORE SLEEP-INDUCING. IRONICALLY, THE NHTSA MADATE THAT TOOK EFFECT IN 2008 ACTUALLY MAKES MY MAZDA LESS SAFE BECAUSE IT FORCES ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN NECK STRAIN OR SITTING IN A LESS RESPONSIVE, OVERLY-RELAXED POSITION JUST TO FIX THE POORLY-DESIGNED HEAD RESTRAINT ANGLE. I DROVE A 1994 TOYOTA CAMRY FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS AND IT HAD A HEAD RESTRAINT THAT WAS ADJUSTABLE FOR BOTH ANGLE AND HEIGHT. IN 1994! PLEASE CHANGE THE HEAD RESTRAINT RULES SO THE ANGLE IS ADJUSTABLE!
Jul 30, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA CX-5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT RECLINED BACKWARDS INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE BUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND KNOBS WERE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.
Apr 29, 2016
SEVERAL TIMES NOW, AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, EXITING AND UPON RE-ENTRY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, I HAVE FOUND THE DRIVERS SEAT COMPLETELY RECLINED ALL THE WAY BACK. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW WITH 6 MILES ON IT IN ILLINOIS MAY OF 2014, AND THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN WE HAD LESS THAN 600 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THEY "COULD NOT REPLICATE IT". THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, THEN NOTHING. I DROVE THE CAR TO FLORIDA, AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE WHEN I CAME OUT TO THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING AND THE SEAT WAS RECLINED ALL THE WAY BACK. I TOOK IT TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP DOWN THERE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, THAT "THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE". I WAS DETAILING MY CAR THIS PAST WEEKEND, SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT WITH THE CAR OFF. I WAS CLEANING THE WINDSHIELD AND HAD NO IDEA THAT THE SEAT HAD COMPLETELY RECLINED WHILE I WAS SITTING IN IT! MY LEG WAS NO WHERE NEAR THE SIDE WHERE THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE. SCARY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR THE MOTOR SOUND AS IT RECLINED AND IT WAS ALL THE WAY BACK. I AM SHORT AND HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I EXIT OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE, IT SEEMS THE EDGE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT PUSHES DOWN ON THE CONTROLS OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE I CAN HEAR IT CLICK, ALTHOUGH I DON'T SEE THE SEAT MOVE. I THINK IT'S POOR PLACEMENT OF THE MOTOR INSIDE THE DRIVERS SEAT. THIS COULD POSE A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF ONE WAS DRIVING. I SAW THERE WAS A COMPLAINT FROM ONE OTHER CONSUMER THAT WAS DRIVING WHEN THEIR SEAT FOLDED FORWARD. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO!
Sep 22, 2015
I HAVE A 2015 MAZDA CX5 WITH ONLY 4,800 MILES ON IT. YESTERDAY I EXPERIENCED SOMETHING VERY SCARY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FRONT SEAT STARTED TO MOVE ON ITS OWN AND COMPLETELY FOLDED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT BEGIN TO FILL WITH AIR, THEN THE SEAT BEGAN TO FOLD TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST COMPLETELY CRUSHING ME. MY CHEST WAS AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN I REACHED DOWN TO TRY TO LEAN THE SEAT BACK IT KEPT MOVING ON ITS OWN AND WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO PUSH IT BACK. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACTED LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL AND THAT IT MAY NOT EVERY HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY STATED THAT THEY ONLY WAY THAT THEY COULD FIX IT, IS IF THEY COULD DUPLICATE IT AGAIN. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS COULD'VE KILLED ME BUT I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
5 complaints
On Feb. 9, 2023, I started my vehicle and lots of warning indicators lit up the dash of my well-maintained vehicle. Check Engine, ABS, TPMS, SBCS to name some of the warning lights. When I took my car to the dealer, they told me the left front wheel speed sensor had mechanical failure and would need to be replaced. Said the car's antilock brakes wouldn't work without it being replaced. My car also has the automatic brakes to prevent collision and stability control systems which are dependent on wheel speed sensors' function. My vehicle mileage was 59307 when I took it to the dealer. Over $600 repair bill.
Feb 16, 2023
AFTER THE REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED THERE WAS A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WHEN FIRST DRIVING UNTIL THE CAR WARMED UP. IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN FIRST REPLACED IN THE SUMMER BUT WHEN IT GOT COLDER IT GOT WORSE. TURNED OUT TO BE THE SAME CALIPER ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED IN PREVIOUS MODELS BUT NO RECALL FOR THE CX-5
Mar 15, 2021
THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY CAR WOULD NOT PASS PA STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE OF SEVERE RUST ON THE PISTON SIDE OF BOTH FRONT ROTORS. THE OUTER SURFACES OF THE ROTORS WERE FINE. ALL OF THE PADS WERE AT 50% FOR WEAR. THE VEHICLE IS THREE YEARS OLD, BOUGHT NEW, AND HAS 38,000 MILES OF MIXED DRIVING. THE DEALER CONTACTED THE MAZDA DISTRICT MANAGER AND HE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND CONSIDERED WHAT I HAD AS NORMAL WEAR. I REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS MYSELF AND WAS SURPRISED AT THE IMPROVEMENT IN STOPPING DISTANCE. SINCE THIS WAS HAPPENING OVER TIME, I WAS NOT AWARE OF MY LOSS IN BRAKING. AFTER I REPLACED MY BRAKES AND PERSONALLY CALLED MICHAEL KONZEL, THE MAZDA DISTRICT MANAGER, HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL AND NOT A MAZDA ISSUE. I OFFERED TO SEND HIM PICTURES, BUT HE SAID THAT HE DID NOT NEED THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, BUT DRIVEN DAILY.
Feb 04, 2018
I HAVE A BRAKING ISSUE. WHEN I BRAKE MY CAR AT LOW SPEED, I RARELY HAVE ANY ISSUE AND MY BRAKE WORKS WELL. BUT IF I DRIVE AT A HIGHER SPEED (>55MPH) AND BRAKE RELATIVELY FAST, I WILL FEEL LIKE MY FOOT IS PUSHING ON BOTH BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS, AND MY CAR WILL NOT SLOW DOWN AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT FORCE OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE BRAKE PADS AND DRUMS. THE FEELING OF BRAKING IS NOT SMOOTH EITHER AS IF I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. I ALMOST HIT THE CARS BEFORE ME TWICE. THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED WITH QUICK BRAKE PEDAL RELIEF AND SUBSEQUENT STEPPING ON AGAIN. I MAY NEED TO REPEAT THIS EFFORT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WORKS NORMALLY. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH IT. I DRIVE VERY CAREFULLY ON HIGH WAY NOW.
Feb 09, 2016
BRAKING I WOULD HAVE A BRAKING ISSUE EVERY TIME I DRIVE OVER A LITTLE INDENTATION (A HORIZONTAL LINE THAT IS SLIGHTLY ON THE ROAD USED FOR A WATER PASSAGE). WHEN I DRIVE OVER THE WATER PASSAGE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND EVEN THOUGHT I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD, IT WOULD JUST KEEP GOING AND YOU CAN FEEL THE BRAKES JUST SLIPPING OFF THE BRAKE PAD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

ENGINE

2015 MAZDA CX5 2.0 L, WELL MAINTAINED; RECOMMENDED OIL USED AT PROPER INTERVALS, WITH 130,000 MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVEN. WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS AND/OR SOUNDS, VEHICLE STARTED LOOSING POWER AT AROUND 30 MPH IN THE CITY AND ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED. AAA WAS CALLED TO START THE VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL, BATTERY CHECKED OUT OK. TOWED TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP IN WICHITA, KS. DEALER SERVICE EXAMINED VEHICLE AND FOUND A VALVE STEM BROKEN AND LYING ON TOP OF ENGINE, VISIBLE THROUGH THE SPARK PLUG WELL. AS THE OWNER, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, I SAW THE BROKEN VALVE STEM IN THE ENGINE BUT ALSO NOTICE MY ENGINE WAS EXTREMELY CLEAN ON THE INSIDE WITH CLEAN OIL AS WELL, NO EVIDENCE OF DIRT AND/OR SLUDGE OF ANY KIND. VEHICLE OWNER COMMENTED TO THE DEALER HOW CLEAN THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT INSIDE AND OUT. DEALER RESPONDED BY TEXT TO OWNER, NEW ENGINE REPLACEMENT, AT THE COST OF $7000; USED ENGINE WITH 91,000 MILES AT $5000. DEALER STATED AFTER 60,000, VEHICLE OF OUT OF WARRANTY. OWNER RESEARCHED AND FOUND EVIDENCE THE FAILURE IS LIKELY DUE TOO ENGINE DESIGN. MAZDA BUILT AN ALUMINUM ENGINE WITH HIGH COMPRESSION RATIO, BUT BUILT IT LIGHTER AND WITH SMALLER COMPONENT PARTS. ACCORDING TO ENGINEERS, THAT'S A RECIPE FOR VARIOUS COMPONENT PARTS AND ULTIMATELY OVERALL ENGINE FAILURE. THE SKYACTIV ENGINE OPERATES AT 13.0 COMPRESSION RATIO, BY DESIGN; IF NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY AND BEING IT'S NEW TECHNOLOGY, FAILURES LIKE INTERNAL COMPONENT PARTS AND THE ENGINE, ARE LIKELY. OWNER'S VEHICLE AT DEALER FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS AND THEY ARE OFFERING NO ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INQUIRY INTO THE DESIGN OF THE SKYACTIV ENGINE AND ADDRESS MAZDA ALLEGING OWNER'S ARE ABUSING VEHICLES AND CHARGING EXORBITANT PRICES FOR MECHANICAL ISSUES CAUSED BY THEIR PRODUCT DESIGN. OWNER CURRENTLY HAS TWO 2015 MAZDA CX5'S . DEALER/MAZDA OFFERING NO ASSISTANCE.

MAZDA ENGINE DEFECT I PURCHASED A 2015 MAZDA CX-5 USED TWO YEARS AGO. WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TO WORK SHE NOTICED A LOUD TICKING NOISES FROM ENGINE. SHE SCHEDULED A SERVICE WITH MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITHIN THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION AND THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE TORN DOWN FOR COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS, HE FURTHER SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE WITH A MAZDA NEW ENGINE TOTALING OVER $7000. ALARMED, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OTHER MAZDA OWNER EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS CONSTITUTES MY FORMAL COMPLAINT FOR MAZDA DEFECTIVE ENGINES.

TRANSMISSION ISSUE: I TURNED ON THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND TMPS AND SCSB CODE AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD ABOUT 15K ON THE CAR AND IT WAS JUST A YEAR OLD AND DUE FOR IT'S SERVICE. I WROTE DOWN THE CODES AND FIGURED I WOULD TELL THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. I DROVE A LITTLE WAYS AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND SHUDDER. I DROVE THROUGH THE LIGHT AND PULLED UP TO THE STOP SIGN. THE TACHOMETER REVVED UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. I MADE IT TO THE STOP SIGN, PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A FEW MORE FEET THEN AGAIN THE ENTIRE ENGINE REVVED UP AGAIN. REPEAT THIS ABOUT 6 MORE TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THE MILE TO MY HOUSE DOING THE DRIVE, STOP, TURN OFF, START AGAIN AND REPEAT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE CAR AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT MAZDA WAS ABLE TO TELL THEM HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY'D SEEN IT BEFORE AND IT WAS A A "SHIFT CONCERN AND SOFTWARE UPGRADE NEEDED." I'D REALLY LIKE TO SAVE SOMEONE ELSE FROM GOING THROUGH THIS SO I WANT TO REPORT IT. IF I'D BEEN DRIVING FASTER AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN LIKE THAT, I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? ALSO WHY WASN'T THIS REPORTED ON ANY OF THE CAR/DRIVER, CONSUMER REPORTS REVIEWS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND PEOPLE SHOULD CONSIDER IT BEFORE THEY BUY THE CAR. MAZDA SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE IN THE CX-5 SO THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

REDUCES SPEED WHILE DRIVING, UNEXPECTEDLY. CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP IMMEDIATELY WHILE BEING DRIVEN. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING CONSTANTLY FOR MONTHS AND I HAVE SEEN MYSELF IN SERIOUS TROUBLE SITUATIONS
Apr 05, 2018
THE CAR ACCELERATES TO HIGH RPM'S WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. AS SOON AS CAR WAS STARTED ENGINE ROARED AND COULD NOT BE CONTAINED WHEN IN GEAR. WHEN PUT IN DRIVE THE CAR REACHED OVER 50 MPH WITHOUT MY FOOT TOUCHING GAS PEDAL. WHEN PUT IN NEUTRAL THE RPM'S WERE REVVING EXCESSIVE NEAR THE TOP OF THE DIAL. THE ONLY THING TO GET THE ENGINE TO STOP REVVING WAS TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAD A HARD TIME GETTING THE CAR TO STOP. PROBLEM HAPPENED BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE FREEWAY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS A HOT DAY (100 DEGREES OUTSIDE). CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AND THEN SAT FOR ABOUT 1.5 HOURS AND THEN PROBLEM HAPPENED. PROBLEM HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD NOT USED THE CRUISE CONTROL THAT DAY AND DO NOT REGULARLY USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. MAZDA SAYS IT'S A BATTERY ISSUE AND THAT I NEED A NEW BATTERY. THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS THE PROBLEM. I'VE NEVER EVEN HAD TO USE JUMPER CABLES ON THE CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS. I'M THE PRIMARY DRIVER. CAR HAS 43,000 MILES. I'M DEMANDING THAT MAZDA REPLACE THE CAR WITH A SIMILAR AGE CAR/SIMILAR MILEAGE AND THEY ARE FIGHTING IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THAT CAR. I WORRY THAT I WILL BE KILLED WHEN I CAN'T STOP THE CAR OR THAT I WILL HIT A PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER CAR AND KILL SOMEONE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO THE CRUISE CONTROL (CC). SOMETIMES, THE BUTTONS APPEAR TO CHANGE FUNCTIONS WITH EACH OTHER. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE: 1.I AM DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I TURN ON CC ' THE DASH INDICATOR APPEARS IN YELLOW. 2.I SET THE CC TO MY CURRENT SPEED, THE DASH INDICATOR CHANGES TO GREEN, AND MY SPEED IS REGULATED. 3.I DECIDE TO REDUCE SPEED, SO I PRESS THE MINUS (-) BUTTON ONCE. 4.MY SPEED INCREASES BY ABOUT ONE MILE PER HOUR. 5.I PRESS MINUS (-) AGAIN, AND I SPEED UP ANOTHER MILE PER HOUR. 6.I PRESS PLUS (+), AND I SLOW DOWN ONE MILE PER HOUR. 7.I PRESS CANCEL, AND NOTHING HAPPENS ' THE CC INDICATOR ON THE DASH STAYS GREEN, AND MY SPEED HOLDS AT THE CURRENT VALUE. 'IT IS POSSIBLE THAT CANCEL REDUCES MY SPEED BY ONE MILE PER HOUR, BUT I USUALLY DON'T WAIT LONG ENOUGH TO FIND OUT, BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO CANCEL! 8.I PRESS OFF, AND THE CC CANCELS. IT IS STILL ON, BUT THE DASH INDICATOR TURNS YELLOW, AND MY SPEED IS NO LONGER REGULATED (I AM COASTING). 9.I PRESS OFF SEVERAL TIMES, AND NOTHING CHANGES ' THE DASH INDICATOR IS YELLOW. 10.NO MATTER WHICH BUTTON I PRESS, I CANNOT SHUT OF CC. 'THE DASH INDICATOR WILL CHANGE FROM GREEN TO YELLOW AND BACK, BUT CC NEVER SHUTS OFF. 11.SOMETIMES, I CAN RUN MY THUMB AROUND THE BUTTONS IN A CIRCLE, AND CC STARTS WORKING AGAIN, BUT THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. 12.IF I SHUT OFF THE CAR, CC WILL WORK FOR A WHILE. 13.IF CC STOPS WORKING AS DESCRIBED, AND I AM ON A LONG TRIP, IT WILL SOMETIMES START WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN AFTER SOME LONG PERIOD OF TIME (30 MINUTES OR SO). I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO CONTROLS. I OCCASIONALLY PRESS THE VOLUME CONTROL AND THE STATION CHANGES. TYPICALLY, THIS ONLY HAPPENS ONCE, AND WHEN I CHANGE THE STATION BACK TO WHERE IT WAS, I AM ABLE TO ADJUST THE VOLUME AGAIN.

EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS LIT UP SO HE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS JUST FROZEN, THINGS THAT WERE ON STAYED ON AND THE THINGS THAT HAD BEEN OFF WOULD NOT GO ON. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 OF SITTING AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAITING FOR ASSISTANCE (IT WAS OVER 90 DEGREES THAT DAY) I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER CONSULTING WITH A MECHANIC VIA PHONE I STARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND THE ONLY LIGHT ON WAS CHECK ENGINE. WE DROVE TO OUR DESTINATION, PARKED THE CAR FOR THE NIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOT A SIGN OF TROUBLE. WE DROVE HOME WITH NO ISSUE. I FOUND SOMEONE ELSE WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS WEBSITE AND TOOK THAT INFORMATION TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THAT THE GROUND WIRE IN THE FRONT HAD BEEN PAINTED OVER AT THE FACTORY RESULTING IN A FAULTY CONNECTION.

MY CAR HAS HYDROPLANED TWICE IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS COMING AROUND A CURVE IN LIGHT RAIN AND THE BACK TIRES SLIPPED. I FELT AS IF THEY COMPLETELY LOST TRACTION. I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT AND KEEP FROM CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I VISUALLY INSPECTED MY TIRES AND THEY STILL LOOKED BRAND NEW. THIS OCCURRED AT ABOUT 22,000 MILES. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR.I THEN HAD A SECOND INCIDENT AT ABOUT 26,000 MILES. THIS WAS EXPERIENCED IN HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. MY CAR AGAIN LOST TRACTION AND WENT COMPLETELY INTO THE LANE NEXT TO ME. IT WAS AS IF IT LIFTED AND WENT LEFT, BOTH BACK AND FRONT TIRES. I AVOIDED COLLISION BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CAR NEXT TO ME. I HAVE HAD TIRES ROTATED EVERY 5000 MILES AND ALL MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED TO VEHICLE. WHEN TAKEN TO FLOW MAZDA I INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THERE WAS MORE WEAR ON FRONT THAN BACK TIRES WHICH MAKES NO SENSE DUE TO REQUIRED ROTATION BEING DONE. THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL OR CONCERNED. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A CAR ISSUE OR TIRE ISSUE. I CANNOT DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS HYDROPLANING.

THE INCIDENT HAPPENED THIS LAST SUNDAY (1/10/16) AT AROUND 1:30PM. I WAS RETURNING WITH MY FAMILY FROM A SCHOOL SOCCER GAME. I WAS DRIVING ON THE I-95 AT AROUND 50MPH IN THE EXPRESS LANES. SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, WE WERE NOT SURE IF IT WAS COMING FROM THE CAR, THE RADIO, A NEARBY TRUCK OR EVEN AN APP FROM MY KIDS' TABLET. AT THE SAME TIME MY CAR STARTED LOSING TRACTION AND VIBRATES, BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL IT AND DECELERATE CAREFULLY. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN ONE THE SIDES OF THE HIGHWAY, AND THEN I EXITED THE CAR AND TOOK A LOOK OF WHAT HAPPENED. AND THEN IT WAS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SCARY SITUATION. THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE (YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR G91) WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO THAT I SENT YOU. THAT HAPPENED WITHOUT CAUSE. THERE WAS NOT ANY DEBRIS OR ANYTHING IN THE HIGHWAY AND THE ROAD WAS CLEAR. THE WEATHER WAS NICE TOO, IT HAD BEEN RAINING A FEW MINUTES BEFORE, BUT IT WAS CLEAR AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 MAZDA CX5 IN MAY OF 2015 WITH THE TOUR TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE. THEREFORE, I HAVE THE BI-XENON, HID, HEADLAMPS. I DO LIKE THE CURVE ADAPTIVE FEATURE THAT MOVES THE ENTIRE LIGHT SYSTEM LEFT AND RIGHT BY15 DEGREES. I DRIVE MOSTLY IN WELL LIT CITY AREAS, BUT WHEN MY BROTHER WAS HERE LAST NOVEMBER AND NOTICED IN RURAL AREAS HOW EASY IT WAS TO 'OVERDRIVE' BOTH LOW AND HIGH BEAM SETTINGS. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THE REGULAR H1 HIGH BEAMS ON MY 2007 MAZDA6 ARE FAR BETTER THAN THESE 2015 HID LIGHTS. THEY HAVE A SHARP CUT OFF ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN ON LOW BEAM SO THEY DON'T ILLUMINATE AS FAR DOWN THE ROAD AS I WOULD LIKE, AND THAT MAY EXPLAIN PART OF THE PROBLEM WHEN LIGHTS ARE SWITCHED TO HIGH BEAM AS WELL. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH MY MAZDA SERVICE DEPT., AND THEY TELL ME THAT BY FEDERAL LAW, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RAISE THE HEIGHT OF THESE 'SELF-LEVELING' LIGHTS. THEY CAN ONLY ADJUST FROM SIDE TO SIDE FOR MORE OR LESS LIGHTING. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY GAVE THE 2016 MAZDA CX5 A MARGINAL RATING EVEN WITH THE BI-XENON HEADLAMPS. EVEN AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO STOP FOR OBJECTS ON POORLY LIT RURAL ROADS. I DO FEEL THAT THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. MANUFACTURERS AND THEIR ENGINEERS NEED TO REEVALUTE THE IMPORTANCE OF BASIC FEATURES SUCH AS HEADLIGHTS.

ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE AS WELL AS SEVERAL DASH WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND WOULD ONLY GO 45-50MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER READING OUT THE DATA ON THE ENGINE COMPUTER, I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY "BAD" GAS. I WAS DIRECTED TO JUST BURN THROUGH THE GAS IN THE TANK. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME FROM THE GARAGE IT WAS RUNNING FINE AND I WAS NOT TOLD ANYTHING HAD BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM STILL USING THE SAME TANK OF GAS AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AGAIN SO FAR. I CHECKED WITH THE GAS RETAILER AND THEY HAVE HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH RESPECT TO CONTAMINATED GAS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR ON A 75MPH FREEWAY AT 45MPH TO REACH THE DEALER. EVEN WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON THAT WAS A VERY HARROWING EXPERIENCE. *TR

Occasionally have sudden unintended acceleration. Went to dealer, no codes shown. Replaced battery and did throttle service. Happens 1 or 2 times a month generally within first 5 minutes of trip when attempting to stop. While braking , rpm's go to 3k and brakes barely hold car stopped, so I throw it in neutral to stop...rpms eventually go down to normal. It's obviously a very dangerous situation. Im going to make another appt with dealer again but not optimistic because no codes show and they will keep the car until it happens but that could take forever. Went to other mechanics for fresh eyes and opinions. Some feel that it could be a software issue controlling the throttle body and said thats an engineering thing and that no technician will be able to figure that out. I had gone on Reddit / Mazda CX5 and found one other person with what looked like the exact same issue.

ON OCTOBER 6, 2015, I WAS TRAVELING ON I-70 IN SOUTHERN UTAH WHEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE TIRE WAS A YOKOHAMA GEOLANDER G91, DOT FDF5 PC50814, SIZE P225/65R17/60H. THIS TIRE WAS ON MY 2015 MAZDA CX5 WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN LATE AUGUST 2014. IT HAD 10559 MILES ON IT. ROAD CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF THE BLOW OUT WERE EXCELLENT AND THE ROAD WAS VERY SMOOTH AS IT HAD BEEN RECENTLY PAVED. THE TIRE WAS IN 3 PIECES, THE TWO SIDE WALLS AND THE BOTTOM TREAD. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF PUNCTURE. THE GENTLEMAN WHO ASSISTED IN CHANGING THE TIRE SAID HE WAS FREQUENTLY CALLED TO THAT AREA FOR FLAT TIRE ASSISTANCE, BUT HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS SEPARATION OF THE SIDEWALLS FROM THE TREAD. IT SEEMS THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH YOKOHAMA TIRES FROM MY READING OF OTHER COMPLAINTS.

I was near a red light and applied the brakes, but the car accelerated and ran into the truck stopped in front of me. This happened around May of 2024. I took the car to the Elk Grove Mazda dealer. They ran diagnostic and road tests but found nothing wrong. The car had the same problem again sometime later inside my garage. The car rammed into the drywall while I tried to stop by pressing the brake pedal. I took the car to the AAA repair shop in August 2024. They spent three days, and they told me they found a problem with the "steering angle sensor." It was 22 degrees off calibration. They reset the sensor, and the car ran better. However, the car acted again after some driving. It tries to accelerate while I apply the brake pedal near a stop. I took the car back to the AAA shop, but they did not find any problems in a whole week. I still drive this(my only) car, but extra careful, keeping a longer distance between cars in front of me and braking ahead few times ahead of any stop.

While driving on the freeway the check engine light came on. I was able to drive the car home the remaining 20 minutes but there was some noticeable difficulty accelerating. When I went to turn on the car later that day the engine would not turn over and there was an audible rattling/chugging sound and the car itself shook. I was unable to get the car to start and the check engine light remained on. I had AAA check the battery the next day and confirm it was not a battery issue and a diagnostic revealed the P0192 code. AAA towed it to their shop where it was confirmed by the manager mechanic that the issue was with the high pressure fuel pump and that it was causing an issue with the low pressure fuel sensor as well. The mechanic was unable to determine what caused the pump to fail and has quoted me nearly $2000 to fix it. After some searching online it has become clear that this is an issue many other Mazda owners have faced and that is even a recall for the pump for years and makes from Mazda due to a known issue with DENSO fuel pumps causing this exact issue. Despite this being known and DENSO having admitted issue with fuel pumps in cars dating back to 2013, Mazda has not recalled the vast majority of the cars that could be affected. From information I've gathered, it is entirely possible that my vehicle could have just stopped running in the middle of the freeway due to this issue which obviously would have put me in great danger of an accident. To summarize: Low pressure fuel sensor and high pressure fuel pump with error code P0192 are cited as the issues. It's possible this issue can cause the car to stop running with no warning, which would be extremely dangerous especially on the freeway. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a AAA mechanic shop. The vehicle has been inspected by the AAA mechanic but no others. The check engine light came on but was not clear how extreme the circumstance was.

I was on my way home going down a windy back road going about 45 mph. there was a jeep in front of me and the mail truck was in front of them. the mail truck went to slow down and take a right onto a different road and as the jeep slowed down i applied my breaks and there was no response. this was not the first time this had happened in this vehicle but this time i panicked and i had to cut my wheel into the persons front yard to the right of us as i was continuously picking my foot up and slamming it down on the break and there was no response my car was just speeding up. i ended up going into the road that the mail truck was taking a right on and i hit the front of his truck and went flying into the woods and the trees were what stopped me. i now live with constant nerve pain everyday from this and suffer with a compressed lower back fracture that limits me daily from many things. before this incident i had issues with the breaks and acceleration twice. i had taken it to mazda and they fixed my “break switch” ? obviously that wasn’t the problem.

The contact owns a 2015 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the cabin of the vehicle. The contact stated that fuel was leaking from the vehicle causing the vehicle to need refueling more often. The contact stated the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V064000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) which required that the fuel pump or tank to be replaced. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who informed her that the repair only required a sealant and cover that had since corroded.

2015 Mazda CX-5 with 91,000 miles on it. Automatic transmission has failed. When I attempted to pull out into traffic the vehicle would not shift into 2nd gear and instead jerked hard and the engine RPMs revved up. I was not able to get the vehicle past 10mph. This failure with the transmission resulted in the oncoming traffic having to swerve and break to avoid a collision with me. The vehicle was taken to a Mazda dealership who did a diagnostic on it and found that the Mazda had an "internal transmission failure" and would require a full replacement. I asked if it would be replaced with the same exact transmission and was told "no, the defect was discovered by Mazda and has been correct for new transmission models." The manufacture knows about this issue. Luckily I escaped serious bodily injury. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer as well as an independent 3rd party transmission repair specialist. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to this incident to give warning.

MY SON SAID THE LIGHTS ON THE CONTROL PANEL FLASHED AND THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND KILLED OVER WOULD NOT START BEFORE IT DIED MY SON SAID THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING REALLY LOUD. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 10,304.00 TO FIX A CAR THAT HAS A BB VALUE OF 12,000 TO 15000 DOLLARS. THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE ENGINE,FUEL INJECTORS, AND THE FUEL PUMP AND IT ALSO BLEW A FUSE THAT THE GUY WORKING ON IT SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN HAPPEN BEFORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA CX-5. WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED, A LOUD ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE COULD BE HEARD UNDER THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT A SQUEAKING NOISE WAS CAUSED BY A DAMAGED BOLT BY THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE NOISE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING A STRUT REPLACEMENT DUE TO A LOST BOLT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V203000 (STEERING), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC NEAR A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE (MAYBE 10-15 DEGREES), I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN DOING SO, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING APPLIED NORMALLY BUT THE VEHICLE WASN'T SLOWING DOWN LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES. AS A RESULT, I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND WHILE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN MORE THAN IT PREVIOUSLY WAS, IT ATTEMPTED TO LURCH FORWARD MORE AND MORE. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS WERE SLOWLY GETTING HIGHER WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS POSSIBLE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS COMING INCREASINGLY CLOSE TO MAKING CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING CLOSE TO BEING PHYSICALLY STOPPED ALREADY, I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND THE RPMS FOR THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY CLIMBED ALL THE WAY TO THE RED-LINE (I BELIEVE 6,500 RPMS) AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP (ANOTHER 5-10 MILES), THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED NO NOTICEABLE ISSUES. I CALLED THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF ANY PROBLEMS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION WERE CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT NO RECALLS WERE CURRENTLY OPEN FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN MAY. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH, THE CAR WOULDN'T START I BOUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERIES ON THE FOBS. LAST WEEK, I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW TRIM FRONT AND BACK DOORS WAS MELTING. I CALLED THE DEALER, BOUGHT IT IN AND THEY TOOK PICS, SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT MAZDA REP AND SENT ME HOME. ON SATURDAY, I DROVE TO A STORE APPROX. 10 MILES AWAY AND WHEN LEAVING FOR HOME, MY CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS FLASHING AND THERE WERE NO CARS NEXT TO ME. I LEFT THE CAR PARKED FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND BUT ON SUNDAY NOTICED THE MELTED SPOTS WERE WORSE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ON MONDAY AND BROUGHT IT IN. THEY ARE SAYING SOMETHING ON OUR HOUSE OR AROUND IT IS CAUSING THE MELTING, HOWEVER, MY WIFE PARKS HER 2015 HONDA CR-V NEXT TO MINE AND THERE IS NO MELTING HAPPENING TO HER CAR. ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES OWNED AND PARKED IN THE SAME DRIVEWAY FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. I ALSO SUBMITTED THIS INFO TO MAZDAUSA.COM BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2014. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 15 AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ALL A SUDDEN I HAD NO MORE POWER I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED PUT IT IN PARK AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT WENT. SO I CONTINUED ON MY TRIP HOWEVER, ABOUT 50 MINUTES INTO MY TRIP NOW ON INTERSTATE 215 THAT SAME THING HAPPENED THIS TIME WHEN I PULLED OVER JUST PUTTING IT I PARK AND BACK IN DRIVE IT DIDN'T WORK I HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF START IT AND THEN IT WORKED. I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND CANCEL THE TRIP AS I DIDN'T WANT TO BE STRANDED. I'M NOT SURE IF ITS THE TRANSMISSION OR WHAT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY NEW 2015 CX 5 GRAND TOURING TODAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW A 24 INCH CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD EXTENDING FROM THE LOWER DRIVERS SIDE TO THE MIDDLE. THERE IS NO SIGN OF A CHIP AND THE WINDSHIELD APPEARED TO BE IN PERFECT CONDITION. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS SITE, I NOTICED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED WEAR AND TEAR, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS. AS COMMON AS THIS SEEMS TO BE WITH THIS VEHICLE I WOULD HAVE HOPED FOR SOME ASSISTANCE FROM MAZDA IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
1 complaint
I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE PARKED THERE FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS- THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW WITH 725 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS ONLY SINCE I'VE HAD IT. I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, DROVE 1 BLOCK IN NO TRAFFIC, AND WHEN PARKED AT THE STOPLIGHT, NOTICED A BIT OF SMOKE/STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. NOT A LOT AND THE CAR WASN'T OVERHEATING. SINCE THE CAR WAS SO NEW, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF IT BUT THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE. DROVE IT FOR 2 MORE ERRAND STOPS ON 30MPH STREETS AND THEN HOME. THE NEXT DAY I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED THE A/C ISN'T COOLING. I TOOK IT TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP THAT WEEK ASSUMING WHATEVER IS WRONG WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SHOWED ME A SMALL PINHOLE IN MY A/C COMPRESSOR AND INFORMED ME THAT A ROCK MUST'VE FLOWN THROUGH MY GRILL AREA AND LEFT A HOLE IN THE COMPRESSOR, CAUSING THE FREON TO LEAK. IT WOULD COST AROUND $1500 TO FIX AND ISN'T COVERED BECAUSE CONSIDERED "ROAD DEBRIS." THE BIGGEST ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT THE DESIGN OF THE GRILL IS SO OPEN, I CAN FIT MY ARM IN THERE. WHAT'S TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN? EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, THE PASSENGERS BREATHE IN FREON AND IT'S RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. CLEARLY THE GRILL IS DESIGNED FAR TOO OPEN TO PREVENT FROM LARGE DEBRIS, LET ALONE A PEBBLE, DAMAGING THE A/C CONDENSER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO RETROFIT THE OPENING AND PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I DID RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE AND ONE PERSON REPORTED IT HAPPENING ON THE 2ND DAY OF HER OWNERSHIP AND THEN AGAIN A YEAR LATER. *TR

OUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE "SMART CITY BRAKING" FEATURE THAT AUTOMATICALLY PREVENTS COLLISIONS AT LOW SPEED. THIS SYSTEM TRIGGERS THE BRAKES AND BRINGS THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WHEN AN OBJECT IS DETECTED IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN TRIGGERED BY STEAM CLOUDS COMING OUT OF SEWER GRATES AND HAS BROUGHT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE AND VERY UNEXPECTED STOP SEVERAL TIMES. NO REAL "OBJECT" WAS BEHIND THE STEAM CLOUD / YET BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SYSTEM IS IMPLEMENTED IT DETECTED AN OBJECT AND ACTIVATED THE BRAKES. THIS UNEXPECTED BRAKING CAN QUICKLY BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PROPERTY DAMAGE OR INJURY. WE PASS BY AN AREA WITH MULTIPLE SEWAGE GRATES RELEASING STEAM AND THIS SYSTEM IS BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARD. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE SOMEONE BEHIND US WHEN THE SYSTEM IS TRIGGERED - BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE BRAKING TRIGGERS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE SAME ISSUE, BUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ALL DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (CHECK ENGINE, TURN SIGNALS, TEMP WARNINGS, ETC) SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THE INFORMATION SCREEN DISPLAYED AN ALERT "ENGINE INSPECTION REQUIRED".

ON THE SECOND INSTANCE (JULY 15, 2014), THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. TECHNICIANS WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE TO A LOOSE GROUND CONNECTION IN THE PASSENGER FRONT FENDER WELL. *TR
