  I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP, THEN I HEARD A THUD AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK FOR DAMAGE BUT NOTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS I SEE ON THE WEB OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THE CAR IS GOING TO THE MAZDA DEALER ASAP TO SEE IF THEY CAN CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

• 11/27/2023· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  When I put the car in park and push the push start/stop button, the car shuts off but the accessories and middle console display stay on. I have to keep shifting the car between the park position and the drive position before I put it back to the park position for the car to completely shut-off. This car is available for inspection. As far as safety is concerned, the only thing I can think of is that if the car does not completely shut off the battery would drain and not be able to start the car. I took the car to my mechanic and he said that I need to take it to the dealer. The dealer was informed and the dealer said that it was not a recall. The car was only inspected by my mechanic. There were no warning lights or messages in the car or symptoms prior to this happening.

• 11/26/2018· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  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.

• 11/19/2018· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),ENGINE

  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 $500.00. 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 REAR VIEW CAMERA, NEEDED FOR ADEQUATE VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE, DOES NOT FUNCTION UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES: 1. QUICKLY SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AFTER STARTING THE CAR. IN THIS SITUATION, THE TOP THIRD OF THE REAR VIEW VIDEO IS COVERED BY A MESSAGES THAT SAYS THE CAR'S FM RADIO IS TURNED OFF. 2. RECEIVING A TEXT MESSAGE. IF A TEXT MESSAGE IS RECEIVED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE ENTIRE REAR VIEW VIDEO IS COVERED BY A MESSAGE THAT ASKS IF THE CAR SHOULD DOWNLOAD THE NEW MESSAGE. 3. IF THERE IS A BLUETOOTH GPS DEVICE IN THE CAR. WHEN THE BLUETOOTH DEVICE FIRST CONNECTS AND ACTIVATES THE CAR'S AUDIO/VOICE SYSTEM, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA TURNS OFF AND WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. THE CAR'S AUDIO PAGE IS DISPLAYED INSTEAD OF THE CAMERA VIDEO. DUE TO THESE APPARENT DEFECTS, THE ONLY WAY TO SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR IN REVERSE IS TO TURN OFF ALL BLUETOOTH DEVICES, THEN START THE CAR, WAIT FOR THE CAR'S AUDIO SYSTEM TO COMPLETE ITS START UP, AND ONLY THEN SHIFT INTO REVERSE TO BEGIN DRIVING. *TR

• 10/28/2021· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  When you turn the car off the accessory stays on. In other words it doesn’t shut off all the way. That is a hazard because the battery will go dead in time. I looked on the internet and found a lot of complaints about this issue with these cars. The car has a defective shifter switch. Mazda won’t recall the part even though there have been many complaints. This is a defective part. If a part is defective they should recall the part. I don’t see why I should have to pay $400.00 to put a $50 part in my car that is defective. My car is available for inspection upon request.

• 10/15/2024· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROLCrash

  The car had a (SUA) Sudden Unintended Acceleration malfunction. No, the car was totaled and towed away. My safety was put at risk as I was slowly pulling into a parking spot, eased my foot onto the brake and this malfunction caused my car to involuntarily jolt into a rampant high speed. It jumped a curb and crashed into a tree. My brake was useless in stopping this runaway vehicle. The only thing that stopped it was that tree! The airbag deployed and I was badly bruised from the airbag. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians or other cars near mine. There were no warning lights or messages before, during or after the accident. It happened so quickly because the tree was only a few feet in front of my car.

• 10/15/2019· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  IT HAS HAPPENED A LOT. SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OF THE CAR SUCH AS RADIO, DISPLAY, ETC STAY ON WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF. I SPEND SEVERAL MINUTES MOVING BACK AND FORTH TO SHUT IT DOWN SUCCESSFULLY. THIS MIGHT CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM LIKE BATTERY DRAIN ON A COLD DAY WHEN I AM IN A RUSH TO LEAVE THE CAR QUICKLY.

  The contact owns a 2014 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated that on multiple occasions, the vehicle would stall upon the depression of the accelerator pedal as a fuel odor would emit from the vehicle. The check engine light would also appear on the instrument panel. The vehicle had been taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the fuel line O-ring seal on three separate occasions. The manufacturer nor the dealer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

• 10/08/2018· SUSPENSION

  THE FRONT SUSPENSION MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE OCCASIONALLY WHEN MOVING RIGHT AFTER STARTUP AND SOMETIMES AFTER STARTING FROM A STOP (USUALLY ONLY NEAR THE START OF A DRIVE). IT ALSO OCCASSIONALLY MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN HITTING A POTHOLE/SPEED BUMP. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME THING AS RECORDED IN THE MAZDA SERVICE BULLETIN 02-010/16 AND SUGGEST POSSIBLY MAKING IT A RECALL INSTEAD OF A SERVICE BULLETIN.

• 10/04/2025· POWER TRAIN,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  At 70000 miles the transmission just got stuck into a single gear in manual. I drove it home and the check engine light came on. Before this problem the car would not go into park. Every time I put it into park I was unable to turn off the car because it thought it was still in gear. I had to fiddle the gear stick. The car also made a high pitch click (metallic) when shifting into 1st or Reverse from park. I took it to Capitol Mazada San Jose and they charged me $7000 to fix some transmission problem. I took it home and the clicking noise did not go away. I took it back to the dealer and they redid some work.

  I pulled into my parking space in front of garage door, I came to a complete stop and positively without any doubt, put my foot on the brake. As I shifted to park, all of a sudden engine loudly revved up and car suddenly and quickly accelerated through garage door. I want to make it perfectly clear, I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ACCIDENTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR WHEN CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. Mazda checked the car and said nothing was wrong with the car. This has happened to many other people with Mazda and other makes and people are told too many times that there is nothing wrong the car when it clearly is not human error.

THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY, AT A STOP LIGHT, THE SAME THING OCCURRED, BUT THIS TIME, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 2000 RPMS, NOR REACH 20 MPH. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE, AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. IT DROVE NORMALLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE REST OF THE DAY, BUT THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

• 08/16/2022· SERVICE BRAKES

  I was at a doctor's office and their parking lot has a large slope. I parked facing up the slope and applied the parking brake. When I exited the vehicle, I felt the vehicle slowly sliding backwards. I pushed rearward on the car to check if the brakes were holding which accelerated the roll. I jumped back in the vehicle and depressed the brake pedal to stop the roll. I replaced the rear brake pads and noticed extremely uneven wear. Additionally, the left-rear caliper parking brake actuator was bound-up and wouldn't function. I exercised the actuator to loosen it up a bit which should be just enough until I can order the part. I experienced this same issue with my parking brake in 2017. In 2017, I took the car to the dealer who replace the rear brake calipers under recall 17V393000. I called the dealer today 8/16/2022 and they stated the calipers cannot be replaced under warranty or recall again. I find it extremely disturbing that the parking brake would experience such an extreme failure twice in the 8 years I've owned this vehicle. In 2017, the parking brake released suddenly while the car was unattended sending the car down my 100ft driveway, glancing my house and crashing through a wooden fence before stopping. Luckily, this time (2022), I know of the prior issue and can be proactive about replacing the faulty part. These calipers need a redesign where the calipers can last more than 5 years before such a safety failure... or that the parking brake not functioning while unattended isn't the first indication of failure.

  My 2014 mazda 6 EVAP system pops the p0451 when filling up gas to the first click. It goes away after a while if I take care to not fill up the tank all the way to the top. It is similar to a issue reported by recall 7414D for other 2014 mazda 6s. My car is not covered by the open recall, but it is experiencing similar issues. The p0451 goes on and off depending on how much i fill up the gastank.
