Brake Light On problems of the 2016 Mazda CX-5

The contact owns a 2016 Mazda Cx-5. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to move. The brake and parking brake warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The contact called jeff wyler eastgate Mazda (1117 OH-32, batavia, OH 45103, (513)752-3447) however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.

Within the last month the electronic parking brake self engaged 3 times when I started my car I noticed the brake light on. I never engage the parking brake when parked in the driveway. I was able to disengage it twice, but the last time it would not disengage. I followed all the steps listed in the car manual, but nothing worked. I had to drive with the electronic parking brake on to the dealership. Upon inspection the service department confirmed it was an internal electronic failure.

My car was parked in a level garage overnight and the next day after driving for about 5 minutes the electronic parking brake (epb) light started flashing on both the dashboard and the epb control lever and the brake light warning light was lit. It seemed to be driving fine, and I never engaged the parking brake so I thought I may have done so accidentally. I pulled over, turned the car off and tried to disengage the parking brake but it just kept flashing. I took it to my garden city Mazda dealership to service it for the daytime running lights recall, so I told them about this problem as well. While waiting for the appointment, some days the lights stayed off and some days came on. At the dealership, I paid $140 for a diagnostic and was told that the parking brake module shorted out and needed to be replaced, at a cost of over $900. I asked if there was a chance my brakes would malfunction or if I could drive the car safely and was told the brakes would not be affected, so due to the cost I opted to not have it repaired. This car is less than 5 years old and I should not have to pay for this safety defect. My odometer reads approximately 55,000. Now I have to drive around with a very distracting red parking brake warning light flashing on and off constantly and my brake warning light lit. This distraction is an additional safety concern. I'm not sure if garden city Mazda reported this issue to the manufacturer, but apparently Mazda is aware of this issue but no safety recall has been made. Why? I feel at the very least, even if no safety recall, that customers should have this issue repaired at no cost as soon as they report it to Mazda. Perhaps abc's 7 on your side, pix 11's arnold diaz/what a shame, nbc's better get baquero, or any consumer investigative unit would be interested in featuring this problem - before someone gets killed! please help! ty.

The electric parking brake (epb) has malfunctioned. The car was parked in a level garage overnight, without the parking brake engaged. When the car was turned on the epb light came on and is flashing, as well as the brake light warning. The warning lights remain illuminated on the dash even after multiple restarts. The emergency brake is not engaged and the car seems to drive fine. However I have no emergency brake now, which is obviously a significant safety issue.

My wifes car is just over 3 years old, couple month out of warranty of coarse however the emergency parking brake light for no reason comes on and blinks when it does this it also blink the red light on the dash. It was only doing this at start up however now it seem to do it at random even while driving which is very scary to think your brakes could actually lockup. Called Mazda USA, and they said well it must be diagnosed by one of there dealership and even then would not probably consider covering any part of the bill which can run up to $1000. 00 for the epb module. This car has been 100% cared for all records barely 21. 000 miles, this is the 3rd faulty issue of something breaking on this car-1st- one of those expensive led lights burned out, 2nd electric seat motor burn out,and now this module and the customer rep states they are not at liberty to discuss if this was in fact a problem and safety issue . Please be safe and careful when you purchasing your Mazda Cx-5.

Ebrake would not disengage on the Mazda Cx-5 2016 gt with city brake and electronic e-brake at 36,100 miles during various parking locations scenarios. Vehicle would start normally at push of start button but the e-brake light would stay on in the flashing mode. Turn engine off/restarting would resolve the problem temporarily just to return to the same issue at random parking locations. Dealership suggested a replacement battery main 12 volt battery for $185+tax+installation. Battery replacement suggested based on a claim of low voltage measured at the e-brake switch located on the center console. There was no other solutions provided by the dealership for further testing/isolation of issue priir making a payment, to include confirmation that in fact the battery is the culprit. Utilizing an alternate/test battery could be a temporary testing solution. Payments were made as requested and the issue of the flashing e-brake light flashing/e-brake not disengaging is less apparent with 2 incidents 1 month after battery replacement. Incidents observed while in covered/uncovered parking scenarios, outside temperature oscillate from 75 to 92 f. Vehicle rear brakes were replaced under 5000 miles by dealership due to noises and premature wear. Vehicle also has a Mazda remote start system installed by dealership with a history of electrical failure of the a/c compressor. Documentation available for review.
