A safety critical incident occurred on my new 2019 Mazda 3 hatchback when the vehicle when into "limp" mode while adaptive cruise control was engaged at highway speeds leading to rapid deceleration. The vehicle was towed to the nearest manufacturer service location where a diagnostic was performed. Codes show that communication between the central vehicle processor and multiple sub-processors failed simultaneously. Comments were made by manufacturer service representatives that failure mode is likely different from the recent cylinder deactivation/rocker arm recall. Service representatives were instructed to simply clear the codes and drive the vehicle to attempt to reproduce the failure during which it did not occur. I have attached a sanitized version of the service receipt to this message with the full list of codes. Unfortunately Mazda's representatives were unable to provide any explanation on why this failure occurred or what will be done to prevent it in the future. Engineering analysis will need to be performed to reach an acceptable conclusion. Environmental factors relating to the incident include a very hot outside air temperature, with a reading of 115 deg f from the vehicle's sensor roughly 15 minutes before the incident. The incident also occurred on a very long section of us highway with a consistent, gradual incline. Given that information potential causes are intermittent computer hardware failure in high temperature environments, or a software error in power train control or cruise control causing a communication bus failure. With the age and mileage of the vehicle (336 mi) the potential for this failure occurring is likely present in a large portion of new Mazda vehicles.
My horn will not work at all nor the cruise control is not working at all as well. So is all of the controls on the steering wheel. Also a low headlight went out and I may have a stuck clutch problem as well. I need all of this for my safety, my passengers, and my vehicle safely as well. I am requesting a recall so these matters can be straighten out as soon as possible. I don't know what's going to happen the next day, but I need these situations fixed as much as I can.
My vehicle was engaged in active use of cruise control, I had brand new tires, and something happened to the vehicle to where it caused an unsafe push of acceleration and the car lost traction on the road. The vehicle ended up rolling 125 feet off a small drop into a river. None of the airbags deployed despite having 13 points of impact. I had to extricate myself from the submerging vehicle. I the roads were paved with gravel on either side. I was traveling at 55mph, and following the curve of the road.
When using the cruise control it excelerates when going downhill and doesn't disengage when breaking or turning off the cruise control. This has been a continuing problem.
Tl � the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving various speeds with the cruise control on the battery warning indicator illuminated and the vehcile seized. A message appeared that said �put vehicle in gear to maneuver�, but it was already in the drive position. The vehicle was turned off and on several times before it was able to maneuver again. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that he could not find anything wrong with the vehicle and it was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 71000. Jc.
Tl the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. While driving 65 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle accelerated on its own. The contact stated that the failure also occurred when the vehicle was parked. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control). The contact stated that the engine check warning indicator was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (located at 1900 s noland rd, independence, mo 64055, (816) 836-0100) where it was waiting to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,399.
Using adaptive cruise control (acc) vehicle with start to stop when a vehicle is left turn lane either already there or turning into when in front of my vehicle requiring override with gas petal. Started intermittent; over 6 months period more consistent with this problem. Speed from 25 to 45 mph.
'forward detection limited' ; auto cruise control on while vehicle moving 55 mph in traffic. Forward detection limited warning lit up on dash screen then went out.
When at an average rate of speed (55mph) while driving on a curve (there is a bump in the road at the spot I am referring to), when the Jeep hits it, it has a death wobble in the front end!!! cruise control speeds up on a very small decline in the road every time used!!! from a stop, the car has a hard shift when beginning to press accelerator!!! hands free voice gets my voice request wrong almost every time!!!.
The cruise control does not disengage when I push the cruise control cancel button. When I have the cruise control on and going 65mph, (on a highway) or so, in a high elevation and want the cruise off, I press the brake, the cruise control does not disengage. If I press the cruise control "cancel" button, the cruise control does not disengage. I can tell because the cruise control light on the dash is still lit. What does turn off the cruise control is pressing the cruise control button that I push to engage cruise control in the first place. So to turn off the cruise control, I must press the cruise control "on" button. Shouldn't pressing the brake or the cruise control cancel button turn off cruise control all the time? I have placed another complaint on this subject before with you, but before I didn't know how to cancel the cruise control. Now I have found that I must press the button that also turns it on to turn it off.
On Sunday on may 22, 2016, I drove my 2014 Jeep Cherokee on interstate 275 from the montgomery road exit to the five-mile road exit. I was alone in the vehicle. I used the cruise control during this travel. I originally set the speed for 70 miles per hour. At one point, I had to slow down because a car pulled into the lane in front of me and the step down of feature of the speed control worked as expected. When I exited from I-275 to five-mile, I applied the brakes but was unable to slow my car. I continued to apply pressure to the brake pedal but the car¿s speed was not being reduced and I realized that I would be crossing into the signalized intersection without being able to stop. Shortly before entering the intersection, I honked the horn of my car. My car continued across all four lanes of five-mile road and onto the on-ramp from five mile to interstate 275. There it stopped. I do not remember pushing the button on the steering wheel to cancel the cruise control . The car did not impact or touch any other vehicle or pedestrian or other property. It came to a stop on the onramp. The cruise control was not then causing the car to accelerate and the brakes worked. I drove my car very slowly and parked it in the parking lot of the shopping center at the intersection of five-mile and beechmont avenue. From there, I had the car towed from the parking lot to the dealership where I purchased it, kings Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, inc. At kings auto mall. A report referenced by ntsa id no. 10861030 describes a similar incident involving the same make model and year. So far, the dealer service department says there is no problem discernable from the computer codes or fault indications.
With cruise control on, at 70 mph on an interstate hwy at higher elevation, the rpm's were near 4,000. I put on the brakes as the speed was going faster than I wanted. Putting on the brakes did not disengage the cruise control, so the rpm's stayed near 4,000. The only way to slow down was to press the cancel button for the cruise control. This has happened 3-4 times on different trips in different locations that were all high in elevation: 1500 feet +. I have told this information to the dealer we bought the car from, new, in 2014. This just happened again 4-20-16 in southern oregon. Normally, pressing the brake pedal cancels the cruise control.
At high altitude cruise control accelerated when the car started to go down hill and cruise control wouldn't disengage when hit the break or turn off cruise. Had to rek severe times before it disengaged. Has happened more than once only at high (above 3000 ft) altitude.
Vehicle's "adaptive cruise control w/ stop-and-go" was activated and set to 40 mph. On approach to an intersection with stopped traffic ahead, the adaptive cruise control feature failed to slow the vehicle and a rear-end collision nearly occurred. The system had a clear field of view and approached stopped traffic from approximately 300 yards. The vehicle's collision alarm and brake booster activated as I waited for the system to slow the vehicle. Using full braking force, the vehicle came to rest approximately 5 feet from the vehicle in front of me.
If held continuously, cruise control will jump from singular speed increases/decreases to 5 mph at a time resulting in a loss of speed control or to describe it another way, unintended acceleration or deceleration.
While driving in light to moderate traffic as well as stop and go traffic, vehicle would routinely surge forward immediately after slowing and or break when foot was removed from brake pedal. Cruise control had not been used or engaged at anytime.
When releasing the accelerator pedal to slow down the car accelerates by increasing the rpm and then maintaining the same speed thereafter as in a cruise control although the cruise control is off until the brakes are strongly applied to slow down the vehicle.
I drive a 2014 Jeep Cherokee with standard cruise control which they refer to as electronic speed control or esc. The car manual states that once the cruising speed is set, it can be reduced in 1 mph increments by pressing the "set -" button. It doesn't indicate that pressing that button could result in more rapid deceleration of the vehicle or that it might actually cause the system to apply the brakes. On other vehicles I've owned, pressing and holding the "set -" button simply cause the engine to back down and the vehicle essentially coasts until the button is released at a new, lower set cruising speed. However, on a number of occasions while using esc I have held the "set -" down hoping to decrease speed by a few miles an hour. What has actually happened in those instances is that after a second or so, the vehicle begins rapidly decelerating and it appears the brakes are activated by the system. As you can imagine, that could be a very dangerous outcome if the driver doesn't know it's coming and there is other traffic following behind. I'm fortunate there was no traffic following me on the occasions on which this occurred. I went back and reread the manual on the use of esc and saw no reference to rapid deceleration or brake applications in this scenario. I then e-mailed Chrysler about it, and finally received a response telling me that when using the adaptive cruise control ("acc") system, hlding down the "set -" button will result in deceleration in increments of 5 mph, though it doesn't refer to application of the brakes by the system. However, I don't use the acc system which is activated by a separate button. Either I have a malfunction of the esc system or Chrysler has failed to disclose a very important piece of safety information as to the function of the esc feature in the manual, and I'm lucky it didn't get me into a serious accident.
