2015 Mazda CX-5 Vehicle speed control Problems

“My foot was solely on the brake as my car was coming to a stop in a parking space. Then suddenly with no reason, the car accelerated, jumping the cement tire stopper, hit against the concrete parking column, went down a slight hill and hit another concrete parking column before stopping. The whole right side (passenger side) was completely totaled. Fortunately I only had bruises and no other cars were damaged. This is a serious safety problem and should be investigated.”

“Driving normally, suddenly at an on-ramp, car would no longer accelerate. I hit the gas a couple times and engine just revved, and the car was jerky as if struggling to change gear. Anything over 3,000 RPM it would not drive. I also noticed electrical problems with radio and lights at the same time. Thankfully, I was able to coast to pull over. Turned off car and re-started. Test drove the vehicle around the area and it happened again at over 3,000 RPM. Luckily this didn't cause an accident.”

“While driving through stop and go traffic near a traffic light on a downward slope (maybe 10-15 degrees), I attempted to apply the brakes in order to come to a stop. When doing so, the brake pedal was being applied normally but the vehicle wasn't slowing down like it normally does. As a result, I pushed down on the brakes as hard as possible and while the vehicle slowed down more than it previously was, it attempted to lurch forward more and more. …”

“The car accelerates to high RPM's without touching the gas pedal. As soon as car was started engine roared and could not be contained when in gear. When put in drive the car reached over 50 MPH without my foot touching gas pedal. When put in neutral the RPM's were revving excessive near the top of the dial. The only thing to get the engine to stop revving was to turn the car off. I had a hard time getting the car to stop. Problem happened both in the city and on the freeway. The first time it happened it was a hot day (100 degrees outside). …”

“I have experienced intermittent problems with the steering wheel buttons, especially with regard to the cruise control (cc). Sometimes, the buttons appear to change functions with each other. Here is an example: 1.I am driving along on the highway, and I turn on cc ' the dash indicator appears in yellow. 2.I set the cc to my current speed, the dash indicator changes to green, and my speed is regulated. 3.I decide to reduce speed, so I press the minus (-) button once. 4.my speed increases by about one mile per hour. 5.I press minus (-) again, and I speed up another mile per hour. …”
