The car stalled while in motion on the highway with 56 miles left in the gas tank. This caused a very dangerous situation due to the fact that I could not accelerate at all, as the traffic was speeding past. I had to coast through traffic to the safety of the shoulder of the road. Once the vehicle came to a stop, it wouldn't restart and it seemed as if it never actually stopped trying to restart. I noticed a few things during this situation. 1. the check engine light came on 2. all the dash board lights appeared to come on 3. the emergency brake and hold button for city parking brake were flashing at the center counsel 4. the dashboard warnings rotated between, city parking brake, parking brake, cruise system disabled 5. the battery finally died after several minutes of this happening my family and I were brought to safety by a state trooper and had the vehicle towed to a gas station. We filled the gas tank, jumped the car and it has not had the issue since. Unfortunately the rear lift gate has only worked one time after the event but I am not sure what is going on there. I had this same issue happen once in 2019, and the vehicle restarted. I took it to a Mazda dealer and they said it may have been bad gasoline. The vehicle issue seems to match a similar issue mentioned in recall 3719F.

Known ghosting issue caused by manufacturing and diagnosed by Mazda. The lights inside flicker, the radio/navigation/telephone (bluetooth) starts, stops, and moves as it wants to. This causes distractions and is unsafe while driving. There are recalls on other model cars for this, however, Mazda won't fix my car even though they acknowledge this was a manufacturing problem.

The back up camera fails to operate at times for a day or half a day. Sometimes it appears black and other it just shows the volume with an X over it, but no picture of the rear. I have checked each time and there is nothing blocking the camera in the rear. The first time it occurred there was just a few thousand miles, then again about 5,000 and then again at 9465 miles. I was in park with foot on the brake and in reverse. No image appeared and then when backing up in motion it did not work either. It has happened over 3 times in the first 10 months of owning the vehicle and the dealer will not fix it because they cannot reproduce it. It is intermittent. The car had a similar problem with the front camera which was finally replaced after 7 months after my many trips to dealers. It was reported to you also.

While driving my 2017 Mazda Cx-5, the smart city brake support (scbs) indicator illuminates on the dash. This has happened multiple times over the past several months, on clear, sunny days and in rain and/or snow; on city streets and highways. The rate of driving speed varies from approx 10 to 65 mph. The indicator stays on for anywhere from 20 seconds or until the vehicle is stopped (upwards of 20 minutes). Service techs at local dealer were able to pull the fault code from the computer, but it was generic and gave no guidance. Mazda initially acknowledged this was a problem and replaced the camera that controls the system (mounted interior of car at windshield), but when problem persisted with the new camera, Mazda said it's "normal" for the lamp illumination to display on the dash under various driving conditions and referenced service alert sa-052/17, which discusses fog, rain, exhaust gas from vehicle in front, etc. Triggering the scbs. According to this service alert, a dirty windshield will also trigger the warning light to illuminate. This is a safety concern because not only is the scbs not functioning properly, when the light illuminates it distracts from the act of driving.
