general problems of the 2018 Mazda CX-5 - part 2

The car color is soul red and the paint is flaking off. I drive the car short distances under 40mph and it looks like the paint is chipping more and more. It's almost like big rocks are hitting the paint but there is no debris where I drive. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

Rear drivers side caliper becomes stuck when electric brake when disengaged causing over heating of rotor and excess heat to the wheel resulting in premature wear of rotor and brake pads and also could lose breaking capability I have made an appt with dealership to resolve issue on July 6th.

While parking at a very slow speed, the Mazda suddenly and on its own accelerated and ran into a fixed object. The vehicle was off the road in a grassy parking area when it happened. . .

Sunroof exploded while driving on highway. No sign that it was hit by an object. Weather clear and about 45f. Sounded like a gunshot, very loud pow, and not sound of an impact. Edges of remaining glass flipped upward. No marks on roof and no objects other than some glass pieces on sliding shade panel under sunroof.

I was entering the parking garage of my apartment building. The car was not moving as I had my foot on the brake as I was waiting for the garage door to open. The car just suddenly accelerated before the garage door was fully up. My car went straight ahead and hit a parked vehicle. The airbags did deploy. The parked car had both front and back end damage. There was also damage to the garage door. The police were called. Photos do not include the parked vehicle damage to protect the person's identity.

While light braking, car brakes jam. . . Causing unintended stop. Dangerous. At no time was a code flagged. Mentioned to girl at desk when in for service 3 times. When car when in for service. Ladt service I believe car was put on diagnostics. Was told nothing found. Because it happens so often, & dealership tells me cannot find any problem. . . I called a mechanic outside of Mazda. Spoke on phone with master mechanic. & described problem. . He informed me problem was a sensor in the transmission. Car shuts down & locks. Because it happens so fast no code is generated. Said is serious problem.

2018-2019 Mazda Cx-5 software error may cause engine stall safety and emission recall 3719f NHTSA campaign number 19v-497. I received mail showing my VIN number is part of a recall. I went online to contact closest Mazda dealer which 3 hours drive one way, and tried to schedule an appointment to have them fix the recalled part free of charge. When I entered the VIN number , it showed me there are no active recalls for this VIN number , which is not true. I was relieved for a moment thinking I don't have to make the long trip after all, but then I checked my VIN number again and my car is 100% part of the recall. . Read more...

The car tries to lunge forward immediately after coming to a complete stop. I always keep my foot on the brake when I come to an intersection or red light so it hasn't yet caused an accident and the force of the braking action seems to be enough to keep it from lunging for the time being but you can feel it tugging wanting to move forward. An engine light recently came on the dashboard along with a transmission light and traction control light. I took it to local dealer and they replaced a transmission sensor but the car still wants to nudge forward after coming to a stop. The mileage is only 3500.

Sun roof shattered while driving home on the highway in the pouring rain. I was not driving behind anything that could have kicked up a rock and there is no other damage to the roof of my car.

My paint has been chipping on this vehicle they repainted the hood but the car is still experiencing an excessive amount of chips I have complained to no avail however there are several articles that this soul red color is defective and I was also told that by the general manager at flow Mazda in fayetteville nc my car does not have 26000 miles and was stored in a garage.

On the third day after leasing this brand new car, I was driving at approximately 20 mph, on a normal city street and slowly pressed my foot on the brake as I approached a red light on a standard city street. No cars were in front of me, thankfully, because as I pressed the brake the car accelerated instead of stopping; the engine and parking warning lights (and several other random lights) illuminated and flashed; and at least three text malfunction warnings appeared in the control panel including scbs malfunction. The car was jerking and accelerating forward throughout even though my foot was on the brake. Mazda's tech said that all the malfunctions I observed appeared on the computer readout, but because they could not replicate the problem after a computer reset, they told me that the car "is running as the manufacturer intended. " this is terrifying.
