general problems of the 2014 Mazda CX-5 - part 2

About an hour into my commute from work, stopped at traffic light. Accelerator didn't respond after several attempts to reach full speed. Maximum speed reached 5-10 mph on a 50 mph road. Several warning lights displayed immediately and was able to safely pull over onto side road. Restarted veh and engine light remained on; accelerator responded normal and was able to get home cautiously. Veh was taken to service next day, advisor explained issue has been alerted on service bulletin. Currently waiting on transmission parts.

The contact owns a 2014 Mazda cx5. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the gear shifter button failed. The button would disengage the gear shifter from drive to neutral. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnosis. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 2,500 and the current mileage was 3,000.

While sitting at a stop light, the vehicle slammed into gear (automatic transmission) so hard that I thought that I had been rear ended. I got out and checked the vehicle as there was another vehicle behind me, but it was obvious that I had not been hit. Since this 1st incident, I have had three other incidents of this type. I reported this issue to my Mazda dealer, and the insist that I must have my foot on the accelerator while braking and this is causing the sudden slamming and attempt of the car to lurch forward. As a combat wounded veteran, I physically have to lift my right foot from the accelerator when I brake and always place it on the floor (safety minded) as I brake with my left leg/foot. I do not have my foot on the accelerator during these incidents. These 4 incidents have only occurred when I am at a stop, and waiting for a light to change. Operating environment regards temps has ranged for 70 degrees to 10 degrees (f).
