2017 MAZDA CX-5 Complaints

DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY 65MPH WITH JUST UNDER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS AND ENGINE CUT OFF ON ITS OWN. MY SON WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT WAS A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. I FEEL THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS DEFECTIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAD VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TOWED TO CLOSEST DEALER. I WAS CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. AGAIN, I FEEL IT IS A WEAK DESIGN OF THE FUEL PUMP AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

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.

THE INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY WILL REBOOT CONTINUOUSLY, IN WEATHER BELOW 60 DEGREES, AND WILL NOT STABILIZE UNTIL THE CAR IS WARMED. DURING THIS TIME YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS ANY OF THE FEATURES. THIS CAN TAKE 20 MINUTES OR MORE. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION OR EXPLANATION.

LOSS OF POWER TO A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60-70MPH WITH FUEL TANK READING 30 MILES TO EMPTY. TOW WAS NECESSARY TO DEALERSHIP. REPLACED FUEL PUMP. 2ND OCCURRENCE WITH 60 MILES TO EMPTY. BROKE DOWN AGAIN WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOWED A SECOND TIME TO DEALERSHIP. REPLACE HIGH/LOW FUEL PUMP. WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO OPERATE VEHICLE BELOW 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH DIFFICULTY MOVING TO A SAFE AREA. SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN OR FUEL PUMP ISSUE.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. THANKFULLY, ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. COINCIDENTALLY, I ALSO OWN A 2018 MAZDA CX-5 AND IN OCTOBER OF 2019, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (3719F, NHTSA #19V-497) FOR THE 2018 CAR. THE DESCRIPTION IN THE RECALL SOUNDS LIKE THE EXACT ISSUE I HAVE FACED WITH MY 2017 MAZDA YET THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF NOW ON MY 2017.

KNOWN GHOSTING ISSUE CAUSED BY MANUFACTURING AND DIAGNOSED BY MAZDA. THE LIGHTS INSIDE FLICKER, THE RADIO/NAVIGATION/TELEPHONE (BLUETOOTH) STARTS, STOPS, AND MOVES AS IT WANTS TO. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTIONS AND IS UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER MODEL CARS FOR THIS, HOWEVER, MAZDA WON'T FIX MY CAR EVEN THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM.

MAZDA INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM KEEPS REBOOTING WHILE DRIVE, STATIONARY, IN MOTION & ON A CITY/HIGHWAY, USING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM BECOMES DANGEROUS, CAN'T USE THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AT ALL.

THE SUNROOF ON MY MAZDA CX-5 JUST SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. NOTHING HIT IT. IT JUST SHATTERED ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY.

REAR BUMPER MARKER IS NOT DONE PROPERLY BECAME DETACHED WHILE STATIONARY. MY FRIEND HAS THIS CX-5 2017 AND SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIS CAR.
