2016 MAZDA CX-5 Complaints

THE DRIVER SIDE LED RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT AROUND 45,000 MILES. THE REPAIR INVOLVES AN ENTIRELY NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY; MY LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $934 FOR THIS PART AND THE WORK REQUIRED. THE RUNNING LIGHT IS A SAFETY FEATURE OF ALL NEWER-MAKE CARS, AND IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT MAZDA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART. I'VE SEEN DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME YEAR/MAKE OF CAR WITH DEFECTIVE RUNNING LIGHTS.

2016 MAZDA CX5 HEADLIGHT PROBLEM THE LEFT ONE WENT OUT AND WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. NOW THE RIGHT ONE HAS GONE OUT AND THEY WANT $1200 TO FIX IT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 48000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE HEADLIGHTS SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING THIS SOON.

PASSENGER SIDE LED MODULE DRL LIGHT STRIP IS DIM/FLICKERING. HAPPENED IN YEARS 3-4 SHORTLY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. DEALER OFFERED ZERO ASSISTANCE. LED LIGHTS SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER. A QUICKER INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON MY MODEL YEAR. IN FACT, I HAVE SEEN MANY VEHICLES WITH FAULTY LIGHT IN M DAILY DRIVING.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ISSUE - SEEMS LIKE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, LIGHT FLICKERS BEFORE IT FINALLY BLOWS, DRL ONLY COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IS IN "DRIVE", SO ONLY WHEN IN MOTION, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ROAD, OR DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. THE FLICKERING IS A HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS, AND IS MAJORLY ANNOYING TO OWNER, THE FIX IS NEARLY $1000 TO REPAIR. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE TO GO, THE FIRST (ON DRIVER'S SIDE) BLEW WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, LESS THAN 36K MILES, SECOND ONE HAS NOW GONE, AT 71K, WELL OUT OF WARRANTY.

DRIVER SIDE LED DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT IS FLICKERING AT 25% BRIGHTNESS, PASSENGER SIDE LED DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT IS NOT FUNCTIONING. CAR HAS ONLY 56,000 MILES. LED LIGHTS SHOULD NOT FAIL THIS EARLY. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET. I WILL NOT REPLACE DUE TO EXTREMELY HIGH COST OF OVER $1000 PER HEADLIGHT. VISIBILITY OF THESE VEHICLES HAS BEEN SEVERELY COMPROMISED DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF SOMETHING THAT SHOULD LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, THEN I MOVE GEAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE, OR REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE STALLS TO GO INTO TO DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS, THE ENGINE REVS THEN THERE IS A FORCEFUL JOLT WHEN IT FINALLY KICKS IN TO DRIVE. ALSO, WHEN I'M AT A STOP FOR A WHILE, THEN PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIVE, IT TAKES A COUPLE OF SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO DRIVE. THIS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE A DELAY WITH THE DRIVE GEAR.

WHEN STARTING CAR AND PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE, THEN PUSH THE GAS, THE CAR HESITATES TO GO INTO DRIVE THEN JOLTS WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR FROM PARK. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT TAKES LONG TO GO INTO DRIVE FROM PARK, AND THE ENGINE REVS AND JOLTS VIOLENTLY WHEN IT FINALLY READS THE DRIVE GEAR WHICH IS NOT NORMAL AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME.

42K MILES LEFT REAR WHEEL BECAME SUPER HOT, TOOK TO MECHANIC, LEFT YEAR CALIPER WAS LOCKED UP , CALLED MAZDA THEY CAN DO NOTHING CAR OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE CARS WITH SAME ISSUE

IT WAS ONLY DOING THIS AT START UP HOWEVER NOW IT SEEM TO DO IT AT RANDOM EVEN WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS VERY SCARY TO THINK YOUR BRAKES COULD ACTUALLY LOCKUP. CALLED MAZDA USA, AND THEY SAID WELL IT MUST BE DIAGNOSED BY ONE OF THERE DEALERSHIP AND EVEN THEN WOULD NOT PROBABLY CONSIDER COVERING ANY PART OF THE BILL WHICH CAN RUN UP TO $1000.00 FOR THE EPB MODULE.
