2014 Mazda MAZDA6

I think it is unfair that a manufacturing problem has been unnoticed and left to people to pay for. I am already paying enough for this car to also have to worry about a manufacturing problem that has been left unattended by the company. This certainly is very dangerous as I might have the cars battery die and have no way of getting immediate help and right now it's just the car not acknowledging the parking mode but what if one day the car starts using the wrong shift unknowingly to me and I end up in a car accident because of this? I wont be able to do anything as this has been left unnoticed and no recall has been made even with the dangers it presents to the driver and the car itself.

AS MANY OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED, I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE ACCESSORY MODE STAYING ON AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE THE PARKING SWITCH INSIDE THE SHIFTER WEARS OFF AND THE CAR DOESN?T REGISTER THE CAR IS IN PARK. MAZDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS, AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED BATTERY DRAINAGE AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE WITH TIME. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN RIGHT AROUND THE 50-75K MILEAGE, JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. IT JUST SEEMS TOO PREMATURE AND NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AFTER 100K MILES. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. *TR

AS I PUT IN PARK MODE TO TURN OFF (PUSH BUTTON) VEHICLE STAY ON ACCESSORY , RADIO AND ALARM BEEPING STAYS ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF... I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND REVIEWS ON MAZDA 6 & MAZDA CX5 EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, GOING BACK FROM 2012 AND I JUST HAD A RECALL DONE ON MY CALIPERS, AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE DOOR PADDING BUT NOTHING SHOWED OF NEW MATERIAL. WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE START /STOP PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM.. TODAY I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND READ LOTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS IT NOT A RECALL ISSUE THEIR HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS... THANK YOU FOR READING MY ISSUES. *TR

I OWN A 2014 MAZDA 6 GRAND TOURING. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 72K MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO AND STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY AFTER HITTING THE IGNITION BUTTON. THE CAR PANEL WOULD SAY THAT I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARKING EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS ALREADY IN PARKING MODE. USUALLY I WAS ABLE TO SIMPLY MOVE THE SHIFT STICK A BIT AND IT WOULD ALLOW ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY. BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORST OVER TIME AND IT'S BEGINNING TO AFFECT MY BATTERY LIFE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. BASED ON THE INFORMATION I FOUND MANE OF THE 2014 MAZDA 6 MODELS (SPECIFICALLY THOSE MANUFACTURED LATE 2013 AND EARLY 2014) HAVE BEEN SHOWING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH UNIT. MAZDA FOUND THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT IN THE NEWER CARS BUT A RECALL WAS NEVER MADE FOR THOSE CARS WITH THE BAD SWITCH UNIT. I TRIED CONTACTING THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEM TODAY AND THEIR ANSWER WAS THAT BECAUSE A RECALL HADN'T BEEN DONE THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM HAS BEEN UNNOTICED AND LEFT TO PEOPLE TO PAY FOR. I AM ALREADY PAYING ENOUGH FOR THIS CAR TO ALSO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN LEFT UNATTENDED BY THE COMPANY. THIS CERTAINLY IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I MIGHT HAVE THE CARS BATTERY DIE AND HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING IMMEDIATE HELP AND RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST THE CAR NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PARKING MODE BUT WHAT IF ONE DAY THE CAR STARTS USING THE WRONG SHIFT UNKNOWINGLY TO ME AND I END UP IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS? I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AS THIS HAS BEEN LEFT UNNOTICED AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE EVEN WITH THE DANGERS IT PRESENTS TO THE DRIVER AND THE CAR ITSELF.

I WAS AT WALMART ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND WHEN I FINISHED SHOPPING I CAME OUT TO MY VEHICLE IN AN ALMOST EMPTY PARKING LOT AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. WITH PEOPLE ALREADY SCARED ABOUT THE CORONA VIRUS NO ONE WAS WILLING TO HELP. SINCE THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE I ENDED UP HAVING TO CALL A RELATIVE FROM TO COME AND HELP ME HE TOLD ME THAT MY BATTERY HAD DIED, I TOLD HIM THAT THAT COULDN'T BE THE PROBLEM WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND I SAW WHERE THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF MAZDA CAR OWNERS WHO WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN IN PARK DRAINING BATTERY. I JOINED THE LONG LIST OF MAZDA OWNERS BY CALLING MAZDA COMPLAINING ABOUT THE APPARENT MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND WAS MET WITH THE SAME SCRIPTED SCRIP. "SORRY BUT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FOR A RECALL AND THEY FELT THAT THIS WAS REALLY NOT A "SAFETY" ISSUE, REALLY? A WOMAN BEING STRANDED IN AND EMPTY PARKING LOT AT NIGHT WITH NO SECURITY IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, I DON'T SEE WHAT IS. MAZDA KNOW AND HAS KNOWN FOR YEARS ABOUT THE GEAR SHIFT BEING DEFECTED BUT HAS IGNORED THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN CALLED IN BECAUSE WHEN WE CALL IN TO CS THEY DON'T RECORD COMPLAINT SO THEREFORE NEVER ENOUGH REGISTERED COMPLAINTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MAZDA 6. WHEN THE PUSH TO START BUTTON WAS PRESSED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, BUT THE ELECTRICAL FEATURES CONTINUED TO OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ORANGE LIGHT ON THE PUSH START BUTTON ALERTED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN ACCESSORY MODE. IN ORDER TO FULLY TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WOULD RESTART THE VEHICLE, PLACE THE GEAR IN DRIVE, ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND PLACE THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS METHOD DID NOT ALWAYS WORK AND THAT HE WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE TO MAKE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10160553. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

ENGINE WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN ENGINE STALLS OUT AND THEN I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL AND WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ENGINE WILL SPUTTER ON START UP WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A FAULTY MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR THIS IS A 2014 MAZDA MAZDA 6 WITH 57000 MILES
