YESTERDAY MY WIFE TRIED TO STOP OUR CX5 IN OUR DRIVEWAY BUT IT KEPT A SLOW GLIDE FOR A FEW YARDS THUS CRASHING INTO OUR GARAGE DOOR. SHIFTING INTO PARK A 2ND TIME (1ST TIME DIDN'T WORK) AND POUNDING THE BRAKE PEDAL FINALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AFTER PUSHING IN THE GARAGE DOOR A FEW FEET. ENGINE REMAINED IN LOW IDLE (NO ACCELERATION) AND BRAKE FEEDBACK WAS NORMAL (NOT MUSHY) THE WHOLE TIME. THIS IS 2ND OCCURRENCE. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AS THE CX5 GLIDED PART WAY INTO AN INTERSECTION. ALL SYMPTOMS LISTED ABOVE WERE EXACTLY THE SAME.
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2017 CX-5 vehicles equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Contact with the muffler may damage the trailer wiring harness, potentially resulting in the trailer lighting being inoperative, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
