2016 Mazda CX-5

THE SAME STORY HAPPENED ON MY 2016 CX-5. I PURCHASED MY CAR ON JULY 8TH 2015. I ONLY HAD 2000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT AND I STEP ON THE GAS TO GO, THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND JUST REVS VERY LOUDLY. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR ACCELERATES AND THE CAR JERKS PRETTY VIOLENTLY. THIS WAS VERY CONSISTENT ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. WHEN I WAS DRIVING UP AN INCLINE, THE CAR'S TIMING SEEMED TO BE OFF AS IT NEEDED TO DOWNSHIFT BUT COULDN'T WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. I MADE IT HOME AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP IN IRVINE, CA. THE DEALERSHIP JUST TOLD ME THAT THE CAR NEEDS A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY DO NOT WHAT IS THE REASON. AND THEY COULD NOT TELL IS THE REPAIR TOTALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST DID WHATEVER MAZDA TOLD THEM TO DO. AFTER THREE WEEKS, FINALLY I GOT MY CX-5 REPAID. IT WAS A REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MAZDA ANYMORE. THERE ARE MORE AND MORE SAME CASES ABOUT CX-5 POWER TRAIN.FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS ARE STRONGLY NEEDED.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ALONG A MOUNTAIN ROAD I DRIVE ON TO COMMUTE TO WORK, SUDDENLY I HAD NO FORWARD POWER, IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WAS IN DRIVE. THE CITY BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON ALSO. I WAS LUCKY IN THAT I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN BUT STILL HAD NO FORWARD MOTION HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD OPERATE IN REVERSE. I DID SOME ON LINE RESEARCH WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK AND DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO. THE CAR ONLY HAD 17,000.00 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION BUT COULD NOT OFFER ME ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT EXACTLY WENT WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY SENT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION BACK TO MAZDA. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT MINE WAS NOT THE FIRST TRANSMISSION THEY HAD REPLACED. I AM LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED IN AN AREA WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. AS I STATED THERE WAS NO ADVANCE WARNING OF THIS IT JUST HAPPENED. IN FACT I HAD JUST HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP THE WEEK BEFORE FOR THE 15,000.00 MILE SERVICE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND CERTAINLY DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT DRIVING AROUND IN MY CAR ANY LONGER ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON A CLEAR DAY WITHOUT ANY INFLUENCE FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE, IE: ROCK/DEBRIS, A CRACK FORMED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT ORIGINATED FROM THE VERY BOTTOM/BASE OF WINDSHIELD AND IS CURRENTLY ABOUT 20" LONG - ALMOST TO EXACT MIDDLE OF WINDOW. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. IT IS A 2016.5 YEAR. I TOOK DELIVERY OF CAR ON FEB. 13.

BOUGHT NEW CAR; DRIVEN LESS THAN 400 MILES; THUDDING NOISE NOTICED PRETTY MUCH FROM DAY 1. GOT LOUDER. TOOK IT IN. THE RIGHT REAR HUB, AND BEARING ASSEMBLY WERE FAULTY AND HAD ALSO DAMAGED INNER DISC. THE DEALER FIXED IT BUT ASSURANCE OF "FAULTY PART, DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH MAZDA" NOW DOES NOT RING TRUE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME HAD I BEEN DRIVING LONG DISTANCE, FOR WHICH THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED.

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CX-5 GRAND TOURING ON FEB 14, 2016. AFTER ONLY 1,300 MILES AND ABOUT 3 WEEKS, MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE DECIDED TO NEARLY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON ITS OWN AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN. IT WAS AS IF I HAD SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING. ABRUPT STOP. HEARD A COUPLE BEEPS, SAW A WARNING LIGHT COME ON. DRIVER BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR ENDED ME. PULLED OVER, TURNED ON FLASHERS, GOT MY WHITS ABOUT ME. BEEPING GONE. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON. LOOK AROUND, FOOT OFF BREAK, MERGE BACK ONTO ROAD. CALL THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT DAY. DROP OFF CAR, TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED, ASK FOR LOANER WHILE THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT. NOPE, NO LOANERS BUT CAN ARRANGE RENTAL FOR $35/DAY. TELL ME THEY CAN DEFINITELY FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE IF WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IT WILL STORE THE EVENT IN THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. BORROW WIFE'S CAR CAUSE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR RENTAL. SPEAK WITH THEM NEAR END IF DAY. WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NO STORED EVENT IN ONBOARD COMPUTER. TELL ME IF YOU CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM FOR US NOTHING WE CAN DO. OH WELL. TAKE CAR HOME. DRIVES FINE FOR 2 MORE WEEKS. ITS NOW MARCH 18, CAR OWNED ABOUT 6-WEEKS, WITH APPROX 1,600 MILES. DAMNED IF IT DOESN'T DO EXACT SAME THING AGAIN 3:30PM ON FRIDAY. AMAZED DRIVER BEHIND ME DOESN'T REAR END ME. THIS TIME NO BEEPS OR WARNING LIGHT. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE

PURCHASED NEW 2016 MADACX5 IN APRIL 2015. WIFE WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE AND WAS ABOUT STOPPED WHEN IT LUNGED FORWARD STRIKING THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. CAR WAS MOVING AT LESS THAN A MILE PER HOUR WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE.DAMAGE DONE TO VEHICLE AND GARAGE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO KEPT THE VEHICLE AND DROVE AND MONITORED IT FOR A WEEK. THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM. MAZDA TOLD ME TO RETURN MY LOANER AND PICK UP MY VEHICLE. I TOLD THEM IT WAS UNSAFE. THEY WILL GIVE ME A DEAL ON A NEW VEHICLE. I WAS OUTSIDE WHEN MY WIFE ENTERED THE GARAGE AND WITNESSED THE INCIDENT.
