Mid/rear Seats Assembly Problems of Mazda CX-5

Latch on the driver-side, rear folding seat won't engage. I folded the seat-back forward to create more cargo room. Afterward, when I folded it upright the latch that is supposed to lock it in an upright position would not engage. I tried many times to have it latch and lock, but it would not do so and it just flopped forward. I went on-line and found that other Cx-5 owners have had the same problem. This creates a safety issue for persons riding in the rear seat.

When the vehicle is powered off, the back rest of the driver's chair will fall back completely taking 2-10 seconds to hit the rear seating. After turning on the vehicle, I will have to readjust the chair taking about 1-2 minutes to adjust the back rest into an upright position. This happened numerous times and sporadically, happened once while driving at slow speed about 15-20 mph. Also, head rest to too far forward making it uncomfortable. Company should look into electrically motorized head rest for angle and elevation.

Rear seat latches failed when the vehicle brakes. Seats will unlatch when the vehicle brakes, rendering the back seat unable to be used for safety concerns. Edmunds. Com included a comment about the rear seat latch failing in their review of the Mazda Cx-5 2013. Mazda service has included their need for replacement on the attached invoice. I have not repaired the latches yet because I believe they are a defective device and I do not want them replaced with a part that may fail when a passenger is riding in the rear seat.

The drivers seat reclines without anyone pressing button while the car is parked. This has happened irregularly for years. I have a car seat in the back seat and this shifts the car seat which becomes a safety hazard. This is a known issue and Mazda refuses to acknowledge and correct it. It has nothing to do with mileage on the car. It was always a glitch in how it was made. They said the only way to get it fixed is to have the problem diagnosed at the dealer first. I know they are aware but do not want to pay until the recall is official and they have to. Please help us keep our kiddos safe!.
