Battery Dead Problems of Mazda CX-5

The car stalled while in motion on the highway with 56 miles left in the gas tank. This caused a very dangerous situation due to the fact that I could not accelerate at all, as the traffic was speeding past. I had to coast through traffic to the safety of the shoulder of the road. Once the vehicle came to a stop, it wouldn't restart and it seemed as if it never actually stopped trying to restart. I noticed a few things during this situation. 1. The check engine light came on 2. All the dash board lights appeared to come on 3. The emergency brake and hold button for city parking brake were flashing at the center counsel 4. The dashboard warnings rotated between, city parking brake, parking brake, cruise system disabled 5. The battery finally died after several minutes of this happening my family and I were brought to safety by a state trooper and had the vehicle towed to a gas station. We filled the gas tank, jumped the car and it has not had the issue since. Unfortunately the rear lift gate has only worked one time after the event but I am not sure what is going on there. I had this same issue happen once in 2019, and the vehicle restarted. I took it to a Mazda dealer and they said it may have been bad gasoline. The vehicle issue seems to match a similar issue mentioned in recall 3719f.

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.

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.

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.
