The driver's door on my 2016 Mazda Cx-5 has a malfunctioning sensor that sometimes indicates the door is closed even when it is open. Since the door could be unlatched without an audible chime sounding, it's possible that an owner could be unaware they are driving with the door open. Thus, this vehicle fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) no. 114, "theft protection and rollaway prevention."

Large fish hook shaped crack on windshield of my 2016 Mazda Cx-5 with 23000 mles. The crack appeared on a 55 degree morning after I pulled my vehicle out of the garage and drove half a block to a stop sign and I watched the crack appear. The crack starts at the top center edge of the windshield goes down about 6 inches, then goes into the view of the driver. It was about 18 inches that morning and has grown to about 30 inches and a huge fish hook shape in the view of the driver. I went to the dealer and was told it was caused by a stone impact. It was not an impact, I should know, I was driving. The dealer also told me that it was not covered under warranty, even if it is a defective windshield or installation at the factory. With a little research I am seeing a lot of Cx-5 owners are reporting similar issues with the windshields cracking for no apparent reason. This is a safety concern the NHTSA needs to investigate.

I was pulling into a parking space at natural grocers. When the car was going 2-3 mph into the space getting ready I thought to stop, the engine revved up like a jet engine. The car then jumped a concrete side walk, hit the brick building, and broke a gas line. The car then came to rest back in the parking spot. The air bag deployed, my first reaction was "what the hell just happened". a man walking out of a store heard the hiss of the gas line and then called 911. He came to the car and told me to move away because the gas line could blow up. He noticed that my glasses were backwards on the back of my neck and asked if I was hurt. Shortly a firetruck arrived, two police cars, and a store manager. The firemen shut off the gas line. The policeman interviewed me and observed the setting. After some time the policeman said "this was not your fault" and "I am not issuing a citation". something clearly went wrong with the car. He encouraged me to take pictures of both the sidewalk and the car for my records. I had the car towed to the dealership from whom I had leased the car.

The passenger side mirror folded in by itself while I was driving my Mazda 2016 Cx-5 on a local city street at about 15 mph. The plastic outside housing of the mirror popped out and fell onto the road. I retrieved the trim pieces of the housing but one piece of trim was cracked. I reinserted the trim and taped up the cracked piece. Mazda says it does not sell the replacement piece of trim and wants to replace the whole mirror for a cost of $500.

Liftgate recall by Mazda in October 2016 was never completed as "parts not available", but their web site shows this VIN as having completed the repair, which is erroneous. This indicates that someone at Mazda changed the data to show it as completed when it wasn't completed.

Parked my car. Open up drivers door, radio and dash lights came on. Standing on driveway now push button to turn off radio and dash. Everything came back on. Did it three times and on the third time vehicle started to roll backwards. Had to curly on the floor bard and door wide open. Vehicle gaining speed, engine off, look at gear shift saying it's in park still. I had to jump out of vehicle because I thought I was going to die. Neighbor came to help me out and called 911 who sent an ambulance and police. Paramedics attended to my needs and rushed me to the hospital. Police ask the neighbors if someone was inside the vehicle and they said no. Police report shows vehicle still in park. Vehicle hit a tree and high center on a pge electrical box. Now vehicle is at a dealership who told my father under the table they were able to duplicate concerns but will not note it on the repair order. They looked at sensors and know codes appeared. Once my father mention he worked at a dealership they mention that I must have had the vehicle in reverse. If I stand outside of the vehicle and for a good minute to two minutes and it showed in park the whole time, there is something electrical going wrong with the vehicle. If you google radio is staying on when vehicle is shut off regarding these make and model there are several cases of this happening. People say they have to slam the vehicle into park to get the radio to work. Some people had a brake sensor replace which finally fixed the concern....updated 03/29/17
