“My 2014 CX-5 will not completely shut off. After putting into park and pushing the button to turn off, the engine will turn off but the aux power to the radio and dash do not turn off. I had to turn the car back on and put the car in gear and back to park multiple times before it will turn off completely.”
NHTSA complaint #11240581, filed 2019-07, 113,000 miles“I was traveling about 35mph up a slight incline when the engine lost power and started shaking. The traction control system, tire monitoring, and check engine light all came on at the same time. The engine didn't have any power even when I pressed all the way on the accelerator I couldn't get it to go any faster than 45mph.”
NHTSA complaint #10853026, filed 2016-04, 55,000 miles“When I put my car in park, and try to turn off the car, the battery still stays on (radio, etc). I've had my car's selector switch replaced at a cost to me ($300) after the dealer said that was the problem. I am now having the problem again. I am a mom with 2 little kids and I am petrified of being stuck in this car that won't turn off. I have a video of the car acting in this action but am unable to attach it in this forum. I would be happy to email it.”
NHTSA complaint #11099117, filed 2018-06, 58,000 miles“When the car is parked, with my foot on the break and the shift lever in p position pressing start/stop button the engine shuts off but the ignition remains on. This has caused my battery to die on two different occasion due to this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11112222, filed 2018-07, 68,000 miles“The dashboard indicators suddenly came on all at once while driving on the highway. After pulling over to the breakdown lane and putting it in parl, the engine would not turn off when pressing the on/off button. After arriving at our destination, we needed several attempts of putting it in drive and back to park before the engine finally shut off. But the dashboard indicators remained on and would not turn off, draining the battery all the way down. The following morning, we had to have the vehicle towed to a nearby Mazda service center.”
