Ignition Switch Problems of Mazda CX-5

This has been an ongoing problem for the last 4 years. Ignition switch is faulty. When vehicle is shut off, the engine shuts off, but the auxiliary (radio, heat, ac) stays on. The shift must be manipulated several times to get the auxiliary off. Battery has been drained because someone who does not know about this defect will inadvertently leave it on.

The engine cuts when I put my car in park and push my start/stop button but the radio stays on after. I try over and over again to turn my car off fully by switching gear and turning the car on and off. This has happened daily for me. I noticed that this may have something to do with the electrical shortage of the ignition switch. It's very unsafe. It can cause battery drainage and can lead to other electrical issues.

The ignition switch does not want to turn off. There is a faulty sensor that doesn't relay to the car that it is in park. The car has to be put back into gear multiple times for it to turn off. This has been going on for some time now. I have looked it up online and couldn't believe how many Mazda cx5 owners have this same issue. It needs to be a recall. The battery wears down when it is not turned off all the way and people are getting stranded. Thanks!.

When the vehicle is put into park and the ignition switch pressed, the vehicle will not completely turn off. The engine turns off but the entire electrical panel stays on. The only solution has been to turn the car back on, drive forward/backwards, and try to turn it off again. Sometimes, this has to be done up to 10 times before the vehicle will completely shut off. This has been a very big problem because you cannot leave or lock your vehicle. Mazda dealerships are charging $80 - $120 just to diagnose the problem. It turned out to be a faulty gear sensor switch which is not allowing the vehicle to go completely into the park position. The cost for parts and labor is approx. $400.

I am often unable to turn car off using the keyless ignition switch. The engine will stop but all interior power remains on, and I must restart the engine, shift gears, return to park and try again. Sometimes it takes 5-8 tries to kill power. This is a safety hazard as it could leave you stranded with a dead battery. I've seen many similar complaints on your website, but Mazda claims no ownership of the problem and have not issued a recall. How can you rectify this situation?.
