general problems of the 2013 Mazda CX-5 - part 2

Failure to start. When I took it to the dealership they said the issue was that I needed a new break switch and I had corroded wires on the right side. I have a video of my issue. Https://youtu. Be/dfywagvkavu the dealership said that these were known issues but no recalls have been issued. The vehicle was stationary at time of issue. I may need to have the dealership re print my invoice, I didn't see it in my files. My vehicle is a 2013 and this issue was in 2016. Wires should not be corroded this quickly, my warrenty did not cover the wires. This issue seems dangerous to me.

I have 96,757 milers. After I come to a complete stop, I put the gear in park, and I push the ignition button to turn off the car, my Cx-5 does not shut down completely. The engine is off but all other electrical system such as radio/navigation remains on and I am not able to activate the car alarm after I exit my car. Orange light remains on the "start button" and I have to restart the engine and change the gear from park to r, n, or d and shift it back to park to shut down completely. Sometimes I have to repeat this step two to three times. This problem began shortly after my 5 year 60k extended warranty expired.

For the past 5 months my car will appear to have shut down while driving. I was driving on city streets going about 15 - 45 mph. I work from home or go to the office twice a week. I drive my kids to school during the week. I don't do much commuting. All electrical components shut down then reboot within seconds, and the car makes beeping sounds like I just started the car. The car will not stop or slow down, but if I come to a complete stop at a light, the car will be very slow to accelerate but I can get it back up to the speed limit after a very slow start. I have called aaa on one occasion and took it to a shop on another occasion. They both say it is battery related due to the wrong batter being installed but it is the battery size in the system of an orielys auto parts store. Every time I replace the battery and the issue appears to go away for a couple weeks to a month. The last battery replacement I purchased a stronger batter than in their system as per the advisement from the auto shop. It seemed to fix it again but after a month the car did the same thing.

I was traveling at approximately 65 mph on a highway in the right-hand lane when my tire pressure indicator, traction control indicator, low oil indicator, emergency check engine indicator light illuminated. The car appeared to be driving normally so I drove it to a nearby meineke shop where they ran diagnostics & reported they were getting error codes p0571 & p02507. They further advised they were not equipped to fix the problem and I had to go to a Mazda dealership - the closest was 20 miles away. While on my way to the dealership, (again traveling approximately 65 mph on a highway in the right-hand lane), every light remained illuminated. Approximately 10 minutes into the trip, my push-to-start button started flashing yellow, I lost power to the car and my brakes were not responsive. I coasted to the side of the road where I turned the car off, not knowing if it would turn back on. I allowed it to sit for about 5 minutes and attempted to turn it "on" via the push-to-start. It did turn on and allowed me to continue driving, (this time in the break-down lane at 25 mph with my hazard lights flashing). I made it to the dealership where they noted the check-engine light was on. Diagnostics by the dealership / my invoice reveal the "cause" as "61 p0302xrx brake switch, r & r 71 w" and "1 lmin07*5 Mini lp 7. 5 fuse" with a part number of bn7n-66-490. The issue was repaired under warranty as the car is less than 3 years old / less than 25,000 miles. I was on vacation 8 hours from my home with this happened. I had 2 teenagers in the car during the first failure. This could have been really, really bad had I been traveling in the left lane as I believe I would have been rear ended when the car suddenly slowed down and I lost the ability to brake. The out-of-state dealership was wonderful; however I believe this make/model needs to be recalled for this issue.

Wires are burning can't tell from where n smiling gas 2013 Mazda cx5.

While driving on the highway, the vehicle very suddenly decelerated (from about 55 to 40), almost as if it slipped back a couple of gears- it was a jarring and immediate loss of power, and I could hear the engine strain as if it was forced into a lower gear. The traction control system and tire pressure monitoring dashboard lights came on, and the check engine light began flashing. I lost ability to accelerate above maybe 1k or 1. 5k rpms. When I slowed the car down and drove to a place I could safely pull over, the car was sputtering and trembling aggressively with each push of the gas pedal. When I finally did stop, I powered off the vehicle and checked the tires - all of which were fine. I turned the car back on and it behaved normally, all the error lights were cleared. I even drove it quite some distance to the dealer for maintenance. The service center said they have never heard of this type of incident. A quick web search, however, indicates that others have experienced this very same issue. This is a new (6 months) 2013 Mazda Cx-5 with around 6000 miles.

Driving in city setting when all of a sudden the traction light came on for the car and at the same time, I felt that the power train was slipping, and then it gave out completely. Pressed on the gas peddle and got no accelleration. Tire pressure light also came on. Stopped car turned off and restarted. Tried to drive the car, but after about a mile the same issue arose and this time the at light and check engine light came on. Had it towed to dealer where they worked on it for about a week. At 34000 mile the same think just happened again. Driving along a country road at about 35 miles per hour it happened the second time. Having it towed to the dealer for a second time.

The 1st incident was about 3 months after purchasing the car in 2012, driving up my block the car all of a sudden lost power and all the dash lights came on. I could not go faster than 5mph and drove back home. The next day car ran fine and I brought it for service where they found nothing wrong and no errors on the computer. I have had this car for almost to years and it is very unsafe. The engine constantly rev's for no reason and I have to apply the brakes to slow down. Then frequently when you want to accelerate especially entering a highway, the car just does not speed up or driving on the highway and the car suddenly slows down by itself. The car frequently feels like you cannot stop when applying brakes that if I had to stop quickly I would crash! many times sitting at a light with foot on brake, I hear a thump and the car surges forward, luckily it has not caused me to hit another car or person. The tire pressure light came on and would not go off about a year ago, I brought it in for service where they reset it, within a month it was back on again and never shuts off unless reset. I am actually going to look for a new non Mazda car this weekend and trading this car in because it is just too unsafe to drive. This really is a shame!!.

While driving, the engine appears to stall and the car is not drivable. The car feels as though it has shut off, and no acceleration is possible. I am forced to coast to the shoulder, at which point I must turn the car off and restart in order for the car to be drivable. While this is happening, several indicator lights are illuminated, including the tire pressure monitor, check engine, at, and traction control indicators. Upon restart, the check engine remains illuminated. This same incident has recurred 3x since I purchased the car in April 2012, including may 2013, may 2014 and August 2014. Each time it has been serviced by the dealership. I have just filed a complaint with Mazda.

The contact owns a 2013 Mazda Cx-5. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled and smoke began to fill the interior cabin of the vehicle. The contact noticed flames coming from the electrical fuse panel that was under the dashboard. The fire melted the dashboard as the interior became engulfed in flames. The fire department reported to the scene to extinguish the fire and a report was filed. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that a regional manager would be sent to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
