2016 Mazda CX-5

2016 MAZDA CX-5 SUV PASSENGER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING AND BECAME DIM AT ONLY AROUND 12K MILES. MY WARRANTY HAS ALREADY EXPIRED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I BOUGHT IT IN 2015 TIME FRAME. THE FACT THAT MANY OTHER CX-5 OWNERS ALSO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM, AT VERY LOW MILEAGES, SUGGEST THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A PRODUCT DEFECT WHICH IS ALSO A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM, GIVEN MORE TIME DOWN THE LINE.

IN A PARKING SPACE, FOOT ON BRAKE, MOVING GEARSHIFT TO PARK, ENGINE REVVED AND CAR LUNGED FORWARD WITH CAR IN PARK AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IT JUMPED THE CONCRETE BUMPER, RAN OVER HANDICAP PARKING SIGN AND HIT CAR IN ADJACENT PARKING SPACE HARD ENOUGH TO MOVE IT BACK INTO THE DRIVING LANE OF PARKING LOT. AT THAT POINT THE CAR STOPPED. WE PULLED IT BACK INTO PARKING SPACE TO HELP MOVE OTHER HIT CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 MAZDA CX-5. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE BRAKE AND ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOE MYERS MAZDA (713-587-9948, LOCATED AT 16500 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77040) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT A "SAFETY CONCERN" WOULD BE SUBMITTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

2016 MAZDA CX5 GRAND TOURING W/LED LIGHTING RIGHT DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT (DLR) HAS FAILED. MY 2016 CX-5 HAS 25,400 MILES AND IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. THESE HEADLIGHT UNITS ARE SEALED, IF ANY LIGHT IN THE UNIT FAILS, I AM TOLD BY MAZDA THRE IS NO REPAIR EXCEPT FOR A COMPLETE HEADLIGHT UNIT. IF A BLUB FAILS THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT MUST BE REPLACED AT A $1600 COST. ONLY A MAZDA DEALER CAN REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT UNIT. GOOD LUCK IF THERE IS NO MAZDA DEALER NEARBY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME BECAUSE THIS IS COMMON FAILURE IN MANY OTHER CX-5'S. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ITEM, DRIVING AT NIGHT AND A ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT FAILS, WILL OTHER UNITS FAIL? I THINK SO, BECAUSE THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH ALL MAZDA HEADLIGHT UNITS. I WOULD HOPE THAT MAXDA WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER A RECALL PROCEDURE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO FORCE MAZDA TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT

THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON EACH SIDE AND I AM WAITING ON BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY KITS. THEY TELL ME IT IS A 1000.00 PLUS COST TO ME. AFTER SPEAKING WITH NATIONAL MAZDA (NOT NAPLETON) I WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO MAKE A CHANGE. SHOUOD THEY NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS, WHILE WAITING FOR MY LEFT HEADLIGHT MY RIGHT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT. I NOW HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS FOR A 30K CAR. HELP

2016 MAZDA CX5 GRAND TOURING W/LED LIGHTING OUR LEFT LED HEADLIGHT UNIT DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT HAS FAILED. WE SOON LEARNED THIS A COMMON FAILURE WITH OURS AND MANY OTHER CX5'S DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. THERE ARE UNITS THAT HAVE FAILED AND UNITS THAT WILL FAIL. FURTHER WE LEARNED THERE IS NO REPAIR EXCEPT FOR A COMPLETE HEADLIGHT UNIT REPLACEMENT. THE UNITS ARE "SEALED." THERE IS NO ACCESS EVEN TO REPLACE A SIMPLE HEADLIGHT BULB. SHOULD A LIGHT FAIL FAR FROM A DEALER, AT NIGHT, ONE IS STUCK. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY DEFECT AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY THE NHTSA TO REQUIRE THE MANUFACTURER (MAZDA) TO REPLACE BOTH DEFECTIVE SEALED LED HEADLIGHT UNITS. OUR MAZDA DEALER REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE ON A WARRANTY BASIS. BASED ON OUR RESEARCH THIS FAILURE GENERALLY OCCURS AROUND THE 36,000 MILE MARK. IF A HEADLIGHT CANNOT BE REPLACED, AT NIGHT, FAR FROM A DEALER, THEN A SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS. THE DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT IS A MANDATED SAFETY ITEM AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE RELIABLE AND FUNCTIONING . PLEASE NOTE THE MANY OTHER MAZDA CX5 OWNERS WHO HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED. WE FIRST NOTICED THIS FAILURE BY OBSERVING OUR REFLECTION IN A BUSINESS WINDOW. THE LED DAYTIME LIGHTS ONLY COME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE FIRST STARTS ROLLING PRECLUDING PERFORMING A PRECHECK.

MY FIANCE STARTED TO HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM MY REAR WHEN BRAKES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD ROCK WHEN I TOOK THE PARKING BRAKE OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN DOWN, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE HAD SLIGHTLY MORE WEAR THEN THE THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. NEW PADS WERE INSTALLED AROUND 32,000 MILES. ABOUT 8,000 MILES LATER I STARTED TO HEAR THE SAME NOISE AGAIN, THIS TIME IT WAS WORSE. I TOOK IN AGAIN TO GET LOOKED AT AND THE REAR PASSENGER PADS WERE COMPLETELY WORN DOWN, WHILE THE REAR DRIVER PADS BARELY HAD ANY WEAR TO THEM. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MOST LIKELY A MALFUNCTIONING CALIBER. MAZDA RAN MY VIN AND STATED THAT IS CAME UP AS A TSB BUT STATED THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE MY BRAKES WILL MALFUNCTION CAUSING ME GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WHICH MAY RESULT IN DEATH.
