When the car is stationary and in park the engine doesn't completely shut down, the radio and�dash lights stay on. Also the doors do not lock because the car will beep consistently�and I fear the battery may die. I have to move the car in and out of park and then move the gear shift left and right quickly multiple times and then maybe it will cut off�completely. Sometimes it takes me up to 10 minutes and 8-10 tries of moving my car out of park and back to park and move the gear shift left and right to get my car to shut off completely. I know the problem is the gear shifter. There is a sensor that tells it when it's in park, and in my car it stopped working. There should have been a re-call because according to several forums there have been many complaints regarding this specific issue with this Mazda Cx-5 make and model.
When I push the button to turn off the car the engine shuts off but the radio and everything inside the car doesn't turn off. My car's battery has died because of it not turning off. I called the dealership they knew exactly what was wrong. They said it was a common problem in the cx5. My car's battery has been dead several times because of this issue.
Happening more frequently, the car will not shut off: engine shuts down, but center console (radio console) does not shut off even when in park. Starting the car up again, shifting to another gear, putting back into park and then attempting to turn off again usually fixes issue but can take up to 10x to accomplish! if you don't get the radio to shut off, the battery will die.
When I place my gear shifter into the park position, the engine turns off, but radio remains on. I then have to turn the car back on, jiggle the gear shifter again, then everything will turn off. Before I realized what the problem was, my car battery died several times, and eventually had to replace it. It is occurring more often and I'm worried that I will be stranded somewhere and not be able to completely turn the car off.
Since we bought this car, the battery goes dead if not driven in 1 to 2 weeks. We charge it and then we check the battery and it's o. K. Of course it is stationary and can't be driven. What it causing it to die so quickly - can't drive it if it doesn't start.
If anyone has experienced the gear shifter issue with their 2014 Mazda Cx-5, please call Mazda directly and make a complaint. The vehicle does not power off when you put it in park. The car thinks it is still in drive, therefore accessory power stays on and thus causing the battery to die when you don't realize that the car was still in the whole time. If enough people react/make complaints then maybe we can get this issue in for a recall. If you've already paid for it to be fixed out of pocket then you could get reimbursed if it does get recalled. So please call. This is the Mazda customer service number. 800-222-5500. No one should have to pay for an issue that isnt their fault.
The instrument panel states on after shutting of the engine. The car starts beeping when you open the door and you are not able to look the car. Look like the transmission shift is not going to park completely so the battery dies every time. ,.
