general problems of the 2014 Mazda MAZDA6 - part 1

The shifter park switch failed, causing the vehicle to say on when turning the vehicle off. This causes the battery to drain and created a bad cell battery. This caused the vehicle to turn off while in motion driving multiple times putting the driver and surrounding vehicles at risk. This vehicle has been inspected by the Mazda dealership/manufacturer.

When I put the car in park and push the push start/stop button, the car shuts off but the accessories and middle console display stay on. I have to keep shifting the car between the park position and the drive position before I put it back to the park position for the car to completely shut-off. This car is available for inspection. As far as safety is concerned, the only thing I can think of is that if the car does not completely shut off the battery would drain and not be able to start the car. I took the car to my mechanic and he said that I need to take it to the dealer. The dealer was informed and the dealer said that it was not a recall. The car was only inspected by my mechanic. There were no warning lights or messages in the car or symptoms prior to this happening.

Ignition does not turn off when pressing start/stop button draining battery with car completely shutting down while driving, coasting to the side of road almost causing an accident. Second time, car was parked, would not restart, had to get a jumpstart as battery was drained once again. Third time, car wouldn't restart at all and car had to be towed.

The vehicle wont shut completely off when you press the start/stop button after shifting into "park". The relay that tells the car it's in park is faulty and the car wont shut off all the way. This will drain the battery and not allow the driver to lock the doors when they exit the vehicle. This is stranding hazard I've seen lots of youtube videos and online forum complaints about this problem. It should be added to the recall list.

The contact's son owns a 2014 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated that while her son was attempting to shift into park, the vehicle failed to recognize the gear selected, causing the battery to drain over time. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.

I think it is unfair that a manufacturing problem has been unnoticed and left to people to pay for. I am already paying enough for this car to also have to worry about a manufacturing problem that has been left unattended by the company. This certainly is very dangerous as I might have the cars battery die and have no way of getting immediate help and right now it's just the car not acknowledging the parking mode but what if one day the car starts using the wrong shift unknowingly to me and I end up in a car accident because of this? I wont be able to do anything as this has been left unnoticed and no recall has been made even with the dangers it presents to the driver and the car itself. Some of this informations was found on https://Mazda. Oemdtc. Com/665/ignition-does-not-turn-off-when-pressing-startstop-button-2013-2014-Mazda.

When pressing the start stop button, the ignition may not turn off the accessories, even with the shifter in park position, and the vehicle engine shuts off normally the ignition stays on in accessory mode. This can cause battery drain/dead, possibly leaving me stranded in the dangerous situation. This has been unknown problem that is been refused by Mazda to create a recall. Right now it’s the car not acknowledging it’s in park because of a faulty switch, that Mazda clearly knows about and has had tons of complaints about and is well documented with NHTSA. How bad does this need to get before Mazda puts out a recall for all vehicles affected. Eventually, it will never be able to go to park and I may get in my car to drive it and it starts off in the wrong shift the wrong and I end up in a car accident. I’m sure Mazda wouldn’t want any crashes, fires, injuries or deaths on their hands do this well established faulty switch that they refused to recall.

Radio and accessories do not always shut off when engine is turned off causing electrical drain on battery. Has happened many times. Dealers think it could be park switch. Any recalls on this issue?.

As many of us have experienced, I also have an issue with the accessory mode staying on after turning the car off. Based on my research, it appears to be the parking switch inside the shifter wears off and the car doesn't register the car is in park. Mazda should issue a recall on this, as I have experienced battery drainage and it seems to be getting worse with time. It seems to happen right around the the 50-75k mileage, just outside the warranty period. It just seems too premature and not something that happens after 100k miles. It happens when the car is stationary.

As I put in park mode to turn off (push button) vehicle stay on accesery , radio and alarm beeping stays on and does not go off. . . I have read numerous complaints and reviews on Mazda 6 & Mazda cx5 experiencing the same problem, going back from 2012 and I just had a recall done on my calipers, and they said they replaced the door padding but nothing showed of new material. When I asked them about the start /stop problem they said they had never heard of this problem. . Today I have been doing research on this problem and read lots of this same problem. Why is it not a recall issue their has been so many complaints. . . Thank you for reading my issues.

When you turn the car off the accessory stays on. In other words it doesn’t shut off all the way. That is a hazard because the battery will go dead in time. I looked on the internet and found a lot of complaints about this issue with these cars. The car has a defective shifter switch. Mazda won’t recall the part even though there have been many complaints. This is a defective part. If a part is defective they should recall the part. I don’t see why I should have to pay $400. 00 to put a $50 part in my car that is defective. My car is available for inspection upon request.

It has happened a lot. Some of the electrical systems of the car such as radio, display, etc stay on when it is turned off. I spend several minutes moving back and forth to shut it down successfully. This might cause a serious problem like battery drain on a cold day when I am in a rush to leave the car quickly.

The park position sensor doesn't work. The car doesn't recognize that the car is in park and will not turn off. This is a known issue with the Mazda 6 2014 and I do not know why there hasn't been a recall. I shouldn't have to pay to have this fixed. Started in 2019. Sometimes it takes 20 or more times to get the car to turn off by shifting in gear and back into park or starting and turning off the car. If you can't get the car turned off you cannot lock the doors and it will run the battery down. I just want this to be recalled so the dealership will repair. Thank you, this is a very frustrating situation. Literally my arm gets tired from slamming the gear shifter into park trying to get the car turned off.

Fow (forward obstruction warning) inspection required flashes on dash as if a loose connection. Only flashes for about 3 seconds then goes away. I manually turned off fow to stop the flashing. But will turn back on once I restart the car. The cruise control off/on switch seems to affect the warning flashes as well. Once the car warms up, things seem normal. During driving this effects the cruise control and system overall. Happens every time I start the car and start driving.

There is a red light indicator saying that the tires are not balanced. The light on the radio panel is on even after the car has been switched off.

Fow inspection light comes on when going above 55 mph. Cruise shits off and brakes are pressed.

With no consistancey, the car would loose power. At times, I thought the car would loose full power, in the middle of my commute, I would be forced to pull over and shut the car off. Most times, the car would return to normal conditions. When I brought it in for repair, byers Mazda of columbus, told me it needed a tune-up. Once again, the car almost stalled out and I managed to coast into a parking space. Now the same dealership is informing me for the first time that the car has an I-loop system and the battery that should have lasted five years, now less than the 3 years old, needs to be replaced for over $500. 00. I bought this car used with an extended warranty and although it was my mistake, the dealership never disclosed the I-loop system and the problems that go with it. This I-loop battery will apparently last 2-3 years only and is very expensive. I guess it is legal for dealership sales reps to misrepresent the car maintenance because they say it is my responsibility to know what I purchased. I will never buy from byers auto for any model car!.

When placing the car in park and pressing the push start/stop, the car will not turn completely off. I have to repeatedly place the gear in all dnrp several times(5 or more) before the car realizes it is fully in park and all power turns completely off. I should not have to do this in order to turn the vehicle completely off. The vehicle is in stop position and in park. The vehicle will not power all the way off. Leaving the radio and lights on and disables the ability to lock the doors or set the alarm.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Mazda 6. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to coast to the side of the road. The contact powered off the engine, the vehicle was restated and was able to drive. The failure recurred twice, the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where a diagnostic testing was completed but could not find a failure code. The vehicle was taken to d, dahle Mazda of murray dealer, located at 4595 state st, murray, ut 84107, (801) 266-0033, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000. Aw.

My vehicle will not turn off completely off when I park it. The engine will stop but all the panels and radio will continue to go. Sometimes I have had to try for over 20 minutes to get it to shut completely down. My spouse's Mazda and daughter's Mazda are doing the same thing. It's very frustrating.

When placing the car in park and pushing the off/on button an error message will appear saying the vehicle must be in park when it is and shows that on the dashboard and by looking at the gear shifter. The only way to fix it so you can turn off the electricity to the accessories and be able to lock your car is to start it again, put it into a different gear, and try again. Sometimes it will work one the second attempt but most times it takes 4 attempts for me to get it to recognize that it's in park.

Accessory power not shutting off upon turning off ignition.

Often when shutting off the car, the engine shuts off but the ignition and auxiliary power remain on. There is a message on the dash requesting to shift lever to p (park) but the lever is already positioned in p. It will take several attempts of shifting in and out of p to get the car to completely shut off all power.

The car will not power down when you shut off the car the shift is not working properly and it is manufactor defect.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Mazda 6. The contact stated that the push button start function failed to work to shut off the vehicle. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by a dealer yet. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the switch unit failed and was to replace the part. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, had not issued a recall but had a TSB-0500416. The contact was not sure if the same oem part was replaced if the failure may happen again. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Dyd.

When shifting the car to park, the electricity will stay on to the vehicle. Sometimes after forcefully putting the shifter into park will the car shut off completely. I have had times where it takes 30+ tries to shut the car off completely. This has resulted in 2 dead batteries when others are driving my car, and the problem is not known to them.

When pressing the start/stop button, the ignition is not turning off. My Mazda is equipped with a gate- type at shifter. Although the shift lever is in �p� posit ion and the engine shuts off normally, the ignition is staying on (in accessory mode). From reading online and many similar complaints not just with the Mazda 6 (2014) but with the Mazda cx-5 (2013-15), this concern may be caused by a worn shifter switch unit. .

The a/t shifter switch when the car is put in park the car battery stays on the radio stays on when the on/off push button is pushed draining battery and killing it. Dealership states it happens commonly but this part kdyo-46-040.

I could not ignite my car due to a dead battery in a winter night!.

Vehicle push to start fails when shutting off car. The car's not reading that it is in park. Engine will shut off but all vehicle electronics will stay on and car can still be shifed out of gear. Dealership replaced gear selector switch which they said had a faulty spring.

Ignition does not turn off when start/stop button is pressed--intermittent problem. The vehicle may not start or may not turn off when the start/stop button is pressed. It may not be possible to secure the vehicle if the ignition does not turn off. The problem began a few months ago, has become more and more frequent. We are concerned the vehicle will fail in some unanticipated way while we are driving it. Mazda has identified the problem as relating to the transmission shift switch. The original part material has been replaced by more durable material, so the manufacturer recognizes the original part was not durable enough. For details, please go to https://Mazda. Oemdtc.

When putting the car in park and pressing the start/stop button to turn of the car, ignition will not turn off. The car will remain in auxiliary mode instead of turning completely off. The car cannot be left in this state because the battery would continue to drain the and doors cannot be locked while in auxiliary mode. The issue is described here: https://Mazda. Oemdtc. Com/665/ignition-does-not-turn-off-when-pressing-startstop-button-2013-2014-Mazda I was told by dealer that the replacement part is usually backordered because this happens to pretty much all vehicles from that model year. Eventually this happens about 90% of the time the car is parked.

When putting the car in park and pressing the start/stop button, the car does not shut off. This has been going on for about 6 months now that I know of and persistently gets worse.

Ignition does not turn off when pressing start/stop button � 2013-2014 Mazda.

Ignition does not turn off when pressing start/ stop button when I park the car I. E. Set the gear to park position it doesn't turn off completely. The electricals in the car are on and this is noticed for multiple Mazda 6 and Mazda cx-5 cars and despite complaining to the dealers there is no resolution from Mazda.
