On several occasions, most of which happened while in motion, my vehicle has stalled out of the blue with no warning. It seems to mostly happen when I’m slowing down or when I’m making a right hand turn and try to accelerate, suddenly there’s no power to the engine. I have to put the vehicle into park and restart it. Twice while slowing down for a red light. Twice immediately after making a right handed turn, and once, when entering roundabout, after yielding. This is happened at least five times. The most recent incident occurring in August 2023.
My check engine light came on. We took it to a mechanic who hooked it up to the computer. It read dtc p2096. When the mechanic looked it up, he noticed that there was a recall issued previously on this specific problem. The description said target ef feedback system to lean- manual and automatic transmission. When plugging in my VIN number it said it was not affected. But my question is if I'm having the same problem and it affected the same year that my vehicle was made, why is my vehicle not on that recall list?.
The glue and seal around back windshield glass is separating. Glass is loose and rattles. This appears to be an ongoing issue with Mazda. The defects can cause window to separate while driving resulting in flying debris hitting another vehicle.
Vehicle has a several rust problem for last 3-4 years. It develops mostly on the body panel surrounding the rear wheel on the passenger side. I have come across several other Mazda 5 with similar issue. A mechanic also confirmed noticing this issue with Mazda 5s. The Mazda 5 models after 2010 does not seem to be impacted by this problem though. Additionally my other car, Suzuki aerio which is much 6 years older (2004 model) that was subjected to similar handling and parking conditions does not have an iota of rust on the body.
All car locks and doors were inaccessible due to condensation and freezing. Spouse and child were unable to enter car in freezing temperatures.
The passenger side rear slide door would not stay close. Happened twice now.
My check engine light when on and I went to the dealer and they said my evaporative emission system leak detection pump (part# aj51-18-581a) needed to be replaced. This happened again and again; I replaced it a total of 3 times in less than 5 years. First time was in 11/21/2011, then again on 7/31/2013 and again on 1/2/2015. There is an obvious defective in craftmenship if I had to change the part 3 times in less than 5 years. Please help me.
