2013 Mazda CX-5

DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, I FELT A CLUNK THROUGH THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S NOSED DIVED TO AROUND 1500. SNAILED IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER, PUT IN PARK, STEPPING ON THE GAS WOULD REV UP TO 2000 THEN DROP TO 1500 ON IT'S OWN REGARDLESS OF GAS PEDDLE POSITION. IN PARK, SHUT OFF, RESTARTED, LOTS OF PRETTY LIGHTS ON THE DASH (AT, TIRE PRESSURE, ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL, PLUS OTHERS), NO CHANGE, RPM TO 2000 THEN DROP TO 1500. STILL IN PARK, SHUT DOWN, RESTARTED AGAIN, RPM'S WERE NORMAL BUT NO FORWARD GEARS IN AUTO OR AUTO-MANUAL (COULD SHIFT TO 'D' OR +/- BUT WOULDN'T ENGAGE). WHILE IN 'D' WAS ABLE TO REV ENGINE BUT TRANSMISSION OBVIOUSLY NOT ENGAGED AT ALL. REVERSE WORKED FINE, SHIFTED BACK TO 'D' BUT STILL NO RESPONSE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. SHUT DOWN A 3RD TIME AND RESTARTED. CHECK ENGINE ON BUT RPM AND TRANSMISSION NORMAL. DROVE TO DEALER AND DROPPED IT OFF. SERVICE DEPT. CALLED LATER TO SAY ORDERING A VALVE BODY FOR TRANSMISSION. *TR

WALKED OUT TO CRACKED WINDSHIELD (1/4 WAY ACROSS VEHICLE) 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASED. WAS TOLD BY DEALER WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF SMALL NICK AT END OF CRACK WAS THICKER THAN DOLLAR BILL. 4 MONTHS LATER, DISCOVERED CHIP IN WINDSHIELD. DURING FIX, CRACK PROTRUDED FROM CHIP AND WHOLE WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. *TR

2013 MAZDA CX-5. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DECELERATED WHILE DRIVING AND TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT,TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. *SMD THE DEALER ONLY ON REPLACED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY REPLACED, AS FLUSHING THE FLUID, WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX.

I TRIED TO TURN ON MY CAR BUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD FOR NO REASON (DID NOT LEAVE THE CAR OR STEREO ON). AFTER I JUMPED THE BATTERY AND GOT THE CAR RUNNING THE ENGINE SOUNDED DIFFERENT AND THE ENGINE WOULD BARELY MOVE THE CAR. I LET THE BATTERY CHARGE FOR A WHILE AND TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WILL HAD NO POWER COMING FROM THE ENGINE, IT WOULD ONLY GO MAYBE 20 MPH. I DROVE HOME TAKING BACK ROADS BECAUSE I COULD NOT MAINTAIN ENOUGH SPEED TO TAKE A MAIN ROAD. I PLAN ON CONTACTING MAZDA TOMORROW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT TO FIX THIS. *TR

THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WHERE IT JOSTLES AND CLICKS. MY LOCAL SERVICE CENTER CLAIMS THAT A LOT OF CX-5 MODELS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT MAY BE NORMAL. TO ME, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A NORMAL ISSUE AND HAD ONLY STARTED HAPPENING, RECENTLY. OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE SEAT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE SAME SEAT. THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED MY CX-5, I REALIZED THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT CUSHION WAS COMING COMPLETELY OFF OF THE FRAME. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY DID SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE SURE THE CUSHION STAYED IN PLACE. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND NOW THE SAME EXACT SEAT IS JOSTLING AND CLICKING. THERE IS APPARENTLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS SEAT AND IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE IF MAZDA DOESN'T ADDRESS IT SOON. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT ALMOST A MONTH AFTER MY INITIAL COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO MY LOCAL SERVICE CENTER, THEY HAVE YET TO EVEN LOOK AT IT OR REPAIR IT. APPARENTLY, MAZDA IS NOT TAKING THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING TO 70 MPH ON AN ON-RAMP TO I-40, I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. I HAD MY SUNROOF COMPLETELY OPEN (WITHDRAWN INTO VEHICLE ROOF) AND WINDOWS DOWN AT THE TIME. AFTER HEARING THE LOUD POP, I CHECKED TO SEE IF A ROCK HAD STRUCK MY WINDSHIELD, AND COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE OF SUCH. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE MY SUNROOF, I LOOKED UP TO SEE THAT THE GLASS HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED IN-PLACE. I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETELY CLOSE THE SUNROOF AND PULL THE INTERNAL COVER CLOSED, AND PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TOWED TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP, WHO IS CONTACTING MAZDA TO WORK ON THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE ON A VERY BUSY ROAD, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING AND MY SPEED BEGAN TO DROP RAPIDLY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED ALL OF THE TIRES AND THEY WERE FINE. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON AND THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. *TR

I HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY AFTER DRIVING 25 MILES AND WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVVED HIGH AND DID NOT SHIFT GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF FIRST GEAR OR OVER 20 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION AND ONCE IT HAD COOLED OVERNIGHT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED NORMALLY. I DID NOT DRIVE IT MORE THAN A BLOCK FOR FEAR IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. *TR

WHILE CHANGING LANES ON HIGHWAY FROM A STOP, IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF DRIVE. THE RPM INCREASED BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED UPON SUDDEN ACCELERATION FROM AROUND 30 THAT I GET A SIMILAR RESPONSE. MAZDA STATES VEHICLE PERFORMING AS BY DESIGN. CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO DOWN SHIFT QUICK ENOUGH ON ACCELERATION. *TR
