Problems with 2014 Mazda CX-5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The dashboard indicators suddenly came on all at once while driving on the highway. after pulling over to the breakdown lane and putting it in parl, the engine would not turn off when pressing the on/off button. after arriving at our destination, we needed several attempts of putting it in drive and back to park before the engine finally shut off. but the dashboard indicators remained on and would not turn off, draining the battery all the way down. the following morning, we had to have the vehicle towed to a nearby mazda service center.

When i turn off the car it doesn't do it and i can't close the doors i have to turn on and turn off many times until it will work. the main problem is i can't close the doors

My vehicle electronics does not turn off after the ignition is turn off due to shifter switch - mazda (kdy0-46-040). vehicle only has 40k miles and is a concern for not having the vehicle long. it's a safety risk and will lead issues with the transmission in the future.

When turning off the car, it does not recognize that you are in the park position and it does not shut down properly. accessories such as the radio and displays do not turn off. there are numerous reports online saying this is due to a faulty shifter switch.

When shifting into park, unable to shut off engine as car does not recognize it is in park

When putting the vehicle in park, the vehicle often does not fully turn off (goes into accessory mode). it seems to be a shifter issue, or it does not know it's in park. i have seen many similar reports on this at https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t49115_ds799849

Faulty (defective) shifter switch (part# kdyo-46-040.) prohibits the car from turning off reliably when put "in park." this needs to be categorized as an official recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 mazda cx-5. after the engine turned off, the electrical power remained active. in order for the electrical system to turn off, the contact had to press the start button and maneuver the gear shifter numerous times. in addition, the doors failed to lock. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 1-2242523981. the approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

When turning the car off, the engine stops but the car does not completely turn off. i have to put the car in reverse, move it, put it back in park, and try again. it has taken up to 5 times to turn the car off.

Radio will not turn off when the car turns off. vehicle is in park and after pressing the start/stop button the radio will not turn off. leaving the radio on drains the battery. if i start the car in put in another gear and back to park and pressing the start/stop button it sometimes turns the radio off and other times it does not. the engine however will turn off. the car is stationary when this happens. i did look online and it happens frequency to mazda cx-5 2014 vehicles because there is a video on how to replace the park switch part to correct the issue. also, the technician at the mazda dealership where i got the park switch installed commented that he sees a lot of customers with this issue. that is why i think it should be recalled and fixed by mazda. thank you.

I parked the car in my garage and turned the car off but the radio console stayed on so i started the car and shut off 4-5 times then went in the house. this morning the battery was dead. i checked this problem online and found many people having the same issue and it seems to be a parking sensor part # kdy046040

Car will not turn off.

When the weather is hot, the car won't shut off. this happens mostly on short trips. the engine turns off but the door locks don't function and the radio and other stuff stays on. it can run your battery down which is unsafe, it happens when the car is in park and you push the power button to shut it down. they said i had to agree to $150 for diagnose. they said the shifter has to be replaced for $600. they let the air out of my tires. i had them at 34. they wrote 34 but the light came on to indicate low tire pressure. three tires had 30 psi and one had 34 psi.

After shifting the gear to park, electrical will not shut off. formal complaint was made to mazda, but they will not help. battery will be drained if not able to shut off.

Auxiliary system will not turn off when the car is turned off! the engine shuts off but the ignition stays in accessory mode. have to tap brakes, gear shift, and sometimes stop/start car again,while repeatedly pressing the ignition starter button. it's completely random and it has drained my car battery to the point where it died and my car had to be jump started. there are multiple online forums from other people having these exact same issues with this mazda. the dealership is trying to charge $145 just to run diagnostics on this. this is a serious problem and a safety liability. i can't believe that mazda has not recalled this malfunction. they should be 100% responsible for replacing the switch unit. this has happened to way too many people!!

Vehicle would not shut off even when in park. defective shifter module part number kd31-46-100f.

Transmission safety switch which allows recognizes the gear selector switch is in the p position is faulty/defective. defective switch is a safety concern as will not allow vehicles to completely turn off. mazda is aware of the problem and has issued a maintenance bulletin on many affected 2013 and 2014 model vehicles. this started happening randomly 3 years ago, but has progressed to 3-4 times per week.

Cars electrical will not shut off after putting in park. car can be put into gear after being put into park. this is a known issue to the dealer, and was told to call and make formal complaint to mazda. they will.not help. this is a serious issue, battery could die, leaving person stranded or car could roll away.

We've had this problem for about 4-months and finally had to take the vehicle to the dealership to be repaired which costed me $340. we had a problem with the push button which starts and turns the car on/off. it will start fine but when you go to turn the car off it kills the engine but the radio and dash lights stay on ? we have to keep starting the car about five times and trying to turn it off before it finally turns off everything completely. this happens every time we get into the vehicle. i'm really shocked that mazda has not recalled this problem ? the dealership acted like they never seen this problem before ? i have read hundreds of complaints about this problem on nhtsa. please get them to recall this problem so i can get my money back ! thx you for your help. i do have a copy of the invoice where i had it repaired.

Vehicle won't shut completely off. infotainment system remains on, doors won't lock and key fobs won't work. all after pressing the start button in order to shut it off.

The bluetooth pandora usb aux cd does not light up on the stereo screen everything else work except all that

When turning the car off, the car doesn't turn off all the way and drains the battery. . i had to buy a new battery and ended up getting having to have my car towed in. mazda issued a service bulletin for this in 2015 (for 2013 models) and updated in 2016 to include 2014 models: http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/yhst-24809172479195/kdy0-46-040.pdf. the warning lights all come one while you are driving. very scary

My wife complained about how she tried to accelerate and it didn't work one random time while she was driving. i took it around the neighborhood to test it out. i wasn't even out of my block before the incident happened. i was in the middle of a turn and everything just stopped. i was going less than 10 mph when it happened. several lights came on on the dashboard. the traction control light, the at light, the tpms light, and the check engine light. something bad happened and this could have killed someone had it happened on the highway. i turned the car off and on and now only the check engine light is on. i was able to drive it again at that point.

Replaced battery january 29, 2019. battery not holding a charge it goes completely dead after not driving one day. there is no obvious cause as to why the battery is drained dead no lights on no dash lights no nothing indicating that the battery should go dead . upon checking the internet there have been many other instances where this problem has also happened with this year make and model. problem may lie within the mazda electrical system itself and hard for the manufacture dealer or car owner to identify .

Vehicle sometimes does not completely shut-off when shifting into "park" and pressing 'start/off' button. accessory functions remain 'on'. warning light states "please shift into 'park'". sometimes requires multiple attempts shifting out of and back into 'park' before all systems shutdown when pressing 'start/off' button. based on numerous other drivers having similar issues, appears to be problem with the shifter switch (part# kdy046040). very irritating having to deal with this problem...mazda needs to do recall on this, imo!

When the ignition button is pressed to shut the car off it stops the engine but the radio stays on and the doors cannot be locked. the shifter is in park when this occurs. forced to leave vehicle unlocked and "on". this happens 3-4 times per week.

There is a faulty sensor issue with mazda cx-5 circa 2014 where it doesn't register the car is in park and thus the electronic on/off won't turn the car off properly. it turns the engine off but leaves the rest of the electrical system on and can lead to many dead battery situations. here are several forums detailing the situation: https://www.carcomplaints.com/mazda/cx-5/2014/electrical/will_not_completely_shut_down.shtml https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t49115_ds799849 this can lead to unsafe conditions stranding people with a dead car through a faulty part. imagine, someone needing to escape the california wildfire or evacuate only to be blocked by this issue.

Pressing the push-start button does not shut off vehicle. car is in park. have had to walk away with car still "on", draining the battery.

When the car is stationary and in park the engine doesn't completely shut down, the radio anddash lights stay on. also the doors do not lock because the car will beep consistentlyand i fear the battery may die. i have to move the car in and out of park and then move the gear shift left and right quickly multiple times and then maybe it will cut offcompletely. sometimes it takes me up to 10 minutes and 8-10 tries of moving my car out of park and back to park and move the gear shift left and right to get my car to shut off completely. i know the problem is the gear shifter. there is a sensor that tells it when it's in park, and in my car it stopped working. there should have been a re-call because according to several forums there have been many complaints regarding this specific issue with this mazda cx-5 make and model.

The start/stop button flashes amber instead of green when starting car. dealer said my batteries in my keyless entry needed to changed which they did and it didn't solve the problem. someone on a mazda board said to disconnect the negative side of the battery for just a minute to reset the computer and it will go back to green which i did but they lasts about 3-4 days then you have to do it again. some sensor must be bad that it doesn't recognize that the keyless entry is in the vehicle or thinks the batteries always need to be changed. very aggravating to have to keep doing this.

When powering off the car using the push ignition, the electronics stay on

Vehicle will not shut off completely when the start/off button is pushed. accessories stay on. i see other complaints regarding this same problem to the shift switch part #kdy0-46-040. have to jiggle shifter 10 to 15 times to get it to shut off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 mazda cx-5. while attempting to turn the vehicle off, the shifter would not immediately change into the park position and the vehicle would not completely shut off. on several occasions, the battery drained due to the failure. the cause of the failure was not determined. the local dealer was not notified of the failure. the manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 75,000.

My mazda will not turn off when i put it in park. the engine stops but all my other controls are on. sometimes it takes me 30-40 minutes to get it to completely shut off.

Vehicle will not shut off completely when placed into park position (an issue with the transmission sensor in the gearbox according to online forums). problem is when vehicle is stationary. this leads to the battery being drained and needing to be jumped. forums with hundreds of similar stories where their vehicle will not properly shut off have revealed that there is a part number for the defective switch/sensor (kdy0-46-040). mazda needs to do the right thing and repair this defective part. for example, no one should have their car parked via valet and discover that their vehicle is dead when they return to it (especially when it is no fault to the valet driver). i have been dealing with this issue for over a year now, enough is enough.

Vehicle will not shut off completely when the start/off button is pushed. accessories stay on. i see other complaints regarding this same problem to the shift switch part #kdy0-46-040. have to jiggle shifter 10 to 15 times to get it to shut off.

Went in for a service around 55,000 miles and was told that new rear brakes were needed. got a second opinion and was told that they could go a little longer. started hearing squeaking, took them back to the mechanic who said they needed replacing. replaced at 59,000 miles. went in today 7/26/18 and was told my rear brakes were at 4% and would need replacing by my next visit. this would mean 2 rear brake replacements within 10,000 miles. my front brakes are still fine. i see many complaints about this for the cx 5, there a several tsbs out. called mazda who said they weren't aware of this problem and that brakes are considered a normal part of wear and tear. my second issues is that when i put my car in park and attempt to shut if off but it will not power off. this doesn't happen every time, but probably every 4th or 5th time. i read online that it's a transmission sensor issue and that the transmission sensor needs replacing. both of these issues are very prevalent and i'm hoping there can be a recall on both.

Due to a faulty at position switch (part #kdy0-46-040) in the gearshift, my vehicle will not reliably fully turn off. the issue causes the vehicle to remain in accessory mode until i restart the engine and attempt to turn the vehicle off a sufficient amount of times. this is a danger to drivers since it could leave them stranded with no battery charge if they must restart their vehicle over and over.

When pressing the start/stop button, the ignition often will not turn off. although the shift lever is in 'p' position and the engine shuts off normally, the ignition will stay on (in accessory mode).

For the last few weeks the vehicle will not shut off completely. i have to turn the car on and off several times before it works. due to this issue i cannot lock the vehicle and it had drained the battery.

When i push the button to turn off the car the engine shuts off but the radio and everything inside the car doesn't turn off. my car's battery has died because of it not turning off. i called the dealership they knew exactly what was wrong. they said it was a common problem in the cx5. my car's battery has been dead several times because of this issue.

When i turn off the car- it says - shift to p- it is already in park and the vehicle will not turn off- the auxiliary stays on- first time this happened, i didn't realize it and came out to a dead battery. now it happens all the time and i have to keep starting and stopping the car and jiggling the shifter to get it to turn off. googled the issue and it is a defective shifter switch that mazda will not recall

Vehicle will not turn off completely as it should. i am the first owner and problem has been going on for about a month. engine will shut off but electronics inside of the vehicle will stay on. i checked online to see what it could be but there is no answer various other owners have the same issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 mazda cx-5. after switching the shifter to the park position, turning the engine off, and removing the ignition key, the radio would remain activated. also, an erroneous audible alarm was activated, which warned the contact that the ignition key was not removed from the ignition switch. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ignition switch was faulty. the vehicle was not repaired. the local dealer (jake sweeney mazda west in cincinnati, oh) was notified of the failure, but the manufacturer was not. the failure mileage was 53,000.

The vehicle does not totally shut down when the vehicle is placed in park and the starter button is pressed. the engine will shut off but defaults to accessory mode leaving the radio on. prior to this occurrence, the vehicle had sat outside in extremely hot weather with the outside temperature being 99 degrees for approximately 6 hours. several attempts to turn on then turn off vehicle did not remedy this. the final attempt was to start the vehicle and drive the vehicle around the block with the air conditioner on at the highest level. upon return to the residence, the vehicle was placed in park and the starter button pressed and the vehicle did shut down completely.

Happening more frequently, the car will not shut off: engine shuts down, but center console (radio console) does not shut off even when in park. starting the car up again, shifting to another gear, putting back into park and then attempting to turn off again usually fixes issue but can take up to 10x to accomplish! if you don't get the radio to shut off, the battery will die.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 mazda cx-5. the contact stated that the engine failed to turn off when the keyless ignition button was depressed. the contact stated that the button had to be depressed several times until the engine turned off. the instrument panel gauges would still function and the green ignition light remained illuminated. the vehicle had not been repaired and was scheduled for maintenance at ray brandt mazda (1884 westbank expy, harvey, la 70058, (504) 372-6131). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000. the vin was not available.

A few weeks ago my keyless system began malfunctioning. when i push the car off button and go to get out of car a warning beep gets my attention that the dash is still on. the only way i have found to get everything to shut off completely is to restart the car and put it in reverse or drive and i may have to do this several times before everything shuts down.

When i place my gear shifter into the park position, the engine turns off, but radio remains on. i then have to turn the car back on, jiggle the gear shifter again, then everything will turn off. before i realized what the problem was, my car battery died several times, and eventually had to replace it. it is occurring more often and i'm worried that i will be stranded somewhere and not be able to completely turn the car off.

Will not shut down when ignition is shut off have to make several attemps at reatarting to shut down and remote does not react propperly in opening and closing on going know for 6 months todays date 10-04-18 car is parked
