2016 MAZDA CX-5 Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE DAYLIGHT LED HEADLIGHT QUITE WORKING. THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. MAZDA IS IGNORING THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER THEY WILL GLADLY TAKE YOUR $1200 AND REPLACE THE LIGHT. THIS ISSUE SMELLS LIKE A MAZDA SCAM TO ME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT EARLY FAILURE. ADVISED ONLY SOLUTION IS COMPLETE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ESTIMATED AT OVER $1000 COST. SAFETY ISSUE & I SEE ITS A COMMON PROBLEM. MAZDA AS THE MFG SHOULD CALL ON ITS SUPPLIER TO MAKE IT RIGHT AND ITS DRIVERS SAFER ON THE ROAD. I ALWAYS LIKE TO RUN THESE AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION AS THEY ARE INTENDED.

MY 2016 MAZDA CX5 GRAND TOURING HAS LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND HAVE BECOME DIM ON DRIVER SIDE AFTER ONLY 36,620 MILES, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THEY ARE JUST OUTSIDE THE 3 YEAR/36K MILE WARRANTY AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT WHOLE HEADLIGHT UNIT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST $1000-1100 (ESTIMATE). MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MANY OF THESE LED HEADLIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NUMEROUS OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES (HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/MAZDA/CX-5/2016/LIGHTS/EXTERIOR_LIGHTING.SHTML)

DRIVER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AFTER 3.5 YEARS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE MAZDA CX-5 2016 MODEL YEAR. MAZDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL. THE COST TO REPAIR THE ISSUES IS OVER $1,000.00 JUST TO REPLACE THE WORN OUT LED'S.

THIS WINTER, IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS OF APPROX. -4 TO 14 DEGREES F (-20 TO -10 DEGREES C), WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE CAR EXHIBITED THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) LIGHT FLASHING, ALONG WITH THE RED FLASHING BRAKE ICON AND THE PARKING BRAKE ICON ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH. THAT WARNING WOULD BE ON EVEN THE DAY AFTER, WITH THE CAR OFF, UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE BECAME WARMER.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY FAILED AT JUST 27,500 MILES. IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE LEDS, THE ENTIRE LIGHT UNIT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OUT, AND CAN ONLY BE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF OVER $1200. THIS IS A VERY QUICK FAILURE OF A LONG LASTING LED LIGHT AND AT A HIGH COST TO THE OWNER. THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER A RECALL.

PASSENGER RUNNING LIGHT -HALO- STARTED FLICKERING/ DIMMING AND NOW IS COMPLETELY BURNT OUT WITH 33000 MILES ON VEHICLE. SAFETY HAZARD AND REPEATED ISSUE KNOWN BY MAZDA SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY MAZDA. $1000+ TO REPLACE A LIGHT IS RIDICULOUS WHEN TYPICALLY LIGHTS CAN BE REPLACED VIA BULB REPLACEMENT, THIS LED IS A CLOSED ASSEMBLY AND REQUIRES DEALERSHIP REPLACEMENT. EVERY 2-3 YEARS OWNERS SHOULD PAY $3000 TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS? REALLY!? NOT OK. THIS IS A FAULTY PART/DESIGN FLAW THAT CREATES SAFETY HAZARD WHEN USING RUNNING LIGHTS THAT ARE NOT FULLY OPERATIONAL, ESP IN THE PACNW WITH RAIN/POOR VISIBILITY.

MANY 2016 MAZDA CX-5S ARE EXPERIENCING FAILURES OF ONE OR BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THESE ARE SEALED BEAM LIGHTS, SO IT COSTS ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE AND ARE NOT COVERED BY ORIGINAL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. RUNNING LIGHTS ARE A SAFETY FEATURE - SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL ITEM? MY PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT AT JUST OVER 37,000 MILES - JUST AFTER THE 3-YEAR / 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NEITHER COVER THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 MAZDA CX-5. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A YIELD SIGN. DURING THE CRASH, THE YIELD SIGN CAME THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SEVERE DAMAGE; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG DID NOT IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED MOMENTS AFTER THE CRASH OCCURRED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A LEFT ARM LACERATION THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED AWAY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

DRIVERS SIDE RUNNING LIGHT NOT WORKING. DEALER REPLACED AFTER 37 MONTHS 38921 MILAGE. ONE YEAR OUT OF WARRANTY. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED PROBLEM.
