I love this car, but it has a bad habit, the vehicle accelerates on its own. If you take your foot off the gas, the car will intermittently lurch, almost jump forward. I-??ve learned to deal with this by simply keeping a strong push on the break, but it is definitely is an issue. Another issue I-??m having is the back lift gate. I-??ve been told that the sensors are on each side of the gate and perhaps when drying the vehicle, I touch them? they run along each side of the liftgate fully visible. I have 17,000 miles on my car right now and when the lift gate opens closes it stops halfway and it beeps. I then have to push it down to close. I took it to the dealer and they say it will cost me if they have to check the sensors. This is extremely annoying to have an automatic lift gate, and I have to push it down myself.
Mazda CX-5 Premium Between May and September this year, the MyMazda app has alerted me two times that the oil level was low. I manually checked and it was indeed low. The first time I brought it to a Firestone service center to have it checked and they verified that the level was down considerably to the bottom dot on the stick. They said to bring it to the dealer. I brought it to the dealer and they said they could not find any leaks and to come back in 1000 miles. I did that and they only checked the dipstick to make sure the level was fine and sent me on my way. The same exact thing happened again a week ago and I topped off the oil then made an appointment. The dealer said that I should not have done that and now they could not verify for themselves that the oil was in fact low. They disregarded the message that the MyMazda app sent me and did not care that I documented and took photos of the dipstick. They had to see it for themselves. They said to come back 1000 miles and not add oil if it is low. I said to the representative at the dealer that I had seen mentions about high oil consumption online and they stated it was only turbo models. I bought my car October 2022 and it has had this oil issue twice in 20,000 miles. That is scary and unacceptable.
When applying the brakes car surges forward. If put in neutral engine races. Very difficult to bring to a stop with reduced braking. Multiple occurrences. Dealer states vehicle is operating within design perimeters.
