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.

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!!
