We have classified the 113 complaints from 2016 Mazda CX-5 about EXTERIOR LIGHTING into the following categories.
The "auto" for headlights / daytime running lights were turned off while driving in raining days or in dimmed lighting condition in the evening, on local road and highway.
Led daytime running lights do not work causing my vehicle not to be as visible as it should be on the road during daylight hours . all the other lights are also led . i am worried about future performance . just purchased vehicle 2/3/2020 , do not know when lights first malfunctioned .
One daytime running light is now flickering. it is not serviceable and the entire headlight capsule must be replaced at about $1300 per side. i am sure the other one will fail soon also! car has 61000 miles and is 4 years old. as drl`s are oem, it must be fixed to pass nys inspection. of course it is also a proven safety feature!
Led running lights flickering only 29000 miles, past the 36 month warranty. requires replacement of the entire headlight assembly at a cost of$1000+.many complaints online about this problem.mazda should extend warranty to 100,000. not safe and to costly to repair
At 76,000 the driver's daytime running light failed to illuminate when the car is running. this is a safety hazard. before it went completely out i noticed it flickered.
The daytime running lights on the passenger side failed. the process to repair the lights is exorbitantly expensive and i believe will dissuade consumers from getting them repaired due to the high cost. dissuading customers from getting this repaired is a serious safety issue. to repair the light bulbs costs more than $1000. the repair requires the entire headlight to be replaced, and also requires removing and reinstalling the front bumper assembly. this is just to replace a light! this is a very poor design and will impact owner safety in my opinion.
Driver side headlight day time led light flickers and it has half of the intensity compared with the other headlight if driven or stationary. this condition started to become noticeable two months ago and it is getting worse and close to the point that the dtl led is not visible anymore and the entire headlight unit must be replaced. mazda knows about the condition and claims that this is not a safety issue and refuses to replace it.
Many complaints on google of flickering daytime running lights on headlights that are a hazard and distraction to oncoming drivers, may cause seizures for some. many people with the same car have only had this car 3 years and mazda will not respond to this or acknowledge the need for this recall, to have this fixed is a minimum of $1200. lighting is necessary and if it is faulty, it becomes dangerou.s this needs to be corrected and mazda needs to take respinsibility. too many vehicle owners are having this problem.
Noticed passenger side led headlight flickering while stopped behind another car at traffic light. inspected the light once i get home and found the day time running portion of the head light assembly is the problem. it now flickers at all times since this comes one during the day automatically. service department from dealer the car was purchased said this is not covered by mazda and it would be out pocket repair ($1,200).
The daytime running light on my 2016 mazda cx-5 grand touring started flickering on the driver's side a few weeks ago. i've had other drivers honk or flash their lights at me during the day (oncoming traffic) most certainly due to the annoyance of the flickering led. this seems to pose a safety hazard to others and myself. the only solution mazda currently has is to replace the whole headlight assembly at an approximate cost of $1,200. i cannot afford this fix especially with the passenger side led light likely to fail at any time bringing the cost to $2,400. i believe this is a safety concern to other drivers especially those that have an adverse reaction to the strobe-effect nature of the flickering light that can trigger seizures. it is also a safety concern to me if i'm less visible to oncoming traffic. i have viewed 100's of complaints for this very same problem and it seems only appropriate for mazda to take ownership of this poorly designed/manufactured component.
Passenger side front daytime running light failed at 40k miles, just outside of warranty period. took to dealership and was offered no assistance and required $1200 to fix/replace the entire headlight assembly. unacceptable to pay for the technology package for led daytime running lights only for them to die at just over 3 years. wrote a letter to mazda north america corporate office 4 months ago but no response.
The led daytime running light in both the right and left headlight assembly have failed. on one side the entire led strip has failed and on the other side the led strip is flashing. this lends itself to my car being less visible: as well as' being a distraction to other drivers seeing the flashing in the rear view mirror. these problems were not the result of any incident, the led strips just failed from normal use in a much shorter span than appropriate.
At 30,000 miles, but out of warranty the driver's day time running light started flickering and at times was completely out. i was told by the dealer that the entire light module needed to be replaced and the part was$1000.00. daytime running light flickering occurs while driving & when car is parked with motor running.
Daytime running light (led halo) on rider's side flickering. vehicle has under 50k miles. has aged out of warranty. entire unit must be replaced at a cost exceeding $1200. a flickering light is a safety concern and reduces visibility. can also be seen as a distraction to other cars on the road.
Drivers side led headlight not working after 3 years and ~25k miles. i see so many complaints with the headlights on online forums and no recall has been made by mazda over this issue. this is obviously a manufacturing defect and needs to be fixed via a recall and not charge customers for an expensive full headlight console replacement. what is the use of getting a more expensive tech package for these lights at the time of purchase when they don't even work for 3 years.
