This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Fow (forward obstruction warning) inspection required flashes on dash as if a loose connection. Only flashes for about 3 seconds then goes away. I manually turned off fow to stop the flashing. But will turn back on once I restart the car. The cruise control off/on switch seems to affect the warning flashes as well. Once the car warms up, things seem normal. During driving this effects the cruise control and system overall. Happens every time I start the car and start driving
When placing the car in park and pressing the push start/stop, the car will not turn completely off. I have to repeatedly place the gear in all dnrp several times(5 or more) before the car realizes it is fully in park and all power turns completely off. I should not have to do this in order to turn the vehicle completely off. The vehicle is in stop position and in park. The vehicle will not power all the way off. Leaving the radio and lights on and disables the ability to lock the doors or set the alarm.
When placing the car in park and pushing the off/on button an error message will appear saying the vehicle must be in park when it is and shows that on the dashboard and by looking at the gear shifter. The only way to fix it so you can turn off the electricity to the accessories and be able to lock your car is to start it again, put it into a different gear, and try again. Sometimes it will work one the second attempt but most times it takes 4 attempts for me to get it to recognize that it's in park.

With no consistancey, the car would loose power. At times, I thought the car would loose full power, in the middle of my commute, I would be forced to pull over and shut the car off. Most times, the car would return to normal conditions. When I brought it in for repair, byers Mazda of columbus, told me it needed a tune-up. Once again, the car almost stalled out and I managed to coast into a parking space. Now the same dealership is informing me for the first time that the car has an I-loop system and the battery that should have lasted five years, now less than the 3 years old, needs to be replaced for over $500. I bought this car used with an extended warranty and although it was my mistake, the dealership never disclosed the I-loop system and the problems that go with it. This I-loop battery will apparently last 2-3 years only and is very expensive. I guess it is legal for dealership sales reps to misrepresent the car maintenance because they say it is my responsibility to know what I purchased. I will never buy from byers auto for any model car!

The contact owns a 2014 Mazda 6. while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to coast to the side of the road. The contact powered off the engine. Once restarted, the vehicle was able to drive normally. The failure recurred twice and the engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was taken to D. dahle Mazda of murray (located at 4595 state St, murray, ut 84107, (801) 266-0033), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000. Updated 10/10/18
My vehicle will not turn off completely off when I park it. The engine will stop but all the panels and radio will continue to go. Sometimes I have had to try for over 20 minutes to get it to shut completely down. My spouse's Mazda and daughter's Mazda are doing the same thing. It's very frustrating.
When pressing the start/stop button, the ignition is not turning off. My Mazda is equipped with a gate- type at shifter. Although the shift lever is in 'P' posit ion and the engine shuts off normally, the ignition is staying on (in accessory mode). From reading online and many similar complaints not just with the Mazda 6 (2014) but with the Mazda cx-5 (2013-15), this concern may be caused by a worn shifter switch unit..
Often when shutting off the car, the engine shuts off but the ignition and auxiliary power remain on. There is a message on the dash requesting to shift lever to P (park) but the lever is already positioned in P. it will take several attempts of shifting in and out of P to get the car to completely shut off all power.
When shifting the car to park, the electricity will stay on to the vehicle. Sometimes after forcefully putting the shifter into park will the car shut off completely. I have had times where it takes 30+ tries to shut the car off completely. This has resulted in 2 dead batteries when others are driving my car, and the problem is not known to them.
The A/T shifter switch when the car is put in park the car battery stays on the radio stays on when the on/off push button is pushed draining battery and killing it. Dealership states it happens commonly but this part kdyo-46-040
Mazda North America operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014 mazda3 vehicles manufactured June 12, 2013, through December 18, 2013, and model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured May 20, 2013, through December 4, 2013, and both equipped with a 2.5L engine and a regenerative engine braking system. When driving the affected vehicles in heavy rain or in deep puddles, the alternator belt may slip causing the power control module (PCM) to incorrectly assume failure of the charging system. Consequence once the PCM assumes that the charging system has failed, the vehicle will stop charging and could result in poor acceleration, loss of steering assist and windshield wiper operation, and a possible engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. What owners should do Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the PCM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on May 19, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 7314D. My car is experiencing this recall that was closed in 2015. Mazda is concern about the problem since the recall is closed ans the repair was done at the time of the recall. However the pro elm still exist.
When putting the car in park and pressing the start/stop button, the car does not shut off. This has been going on for about 6 months now that I know of and persistently gets worse.
When putting the car in park and pressing the start/stop button to turn of the car, ignition will not turn off. The car will remain in auxiliary mode instead of turning completely off. The car cannot be left in this state because the battery would continue to drain the and doors cannot be locked while in auxiliary mode. The issue is described here: Https://Mazda.oemdtc.com/665/ignition-does-not-turn-off-when-pressing-startstop-button-2013-2014-Mazda I was told by dealer that the replacement part is usually backordered because this happens to pretty much all vehicles from that model year. Eventually this happens about 90% of the time the car is parked.
Ignition does not turn off when start/stop button is pressed--intermittent problem. The vehicle may not start or may not turn off when the start/stop button is pressed. It may not be possible to secure the vehicle if the ignition does not turn off. The problem began a few months ago, has become more and more frequent. We are concerned the vehicle will fail in some unanticipated way while we are driving it. Mazda has identified the problem as relating to the transmission shift switch. The original part material has been replaced by more durable material, so the manufacturer recognizes the original part was not durable enough.for details, please go to https://Mazda.oemdtc.com/665/ignition-does-not-turn-off-when-pressing-startstop-button-2013-2014-Mazda#more-665
