What owners say
When turning off my car with push button starter, it will not turn off the radio screen and radio on dash. It takes many times of starting and turning car off. This could be dangerous in having it stay on if you are not aware this is happening.
Vehicle won't shut completely off. Infotainment system remains on, doors won't lock and key fobs won't work. All after pressing the start button in order to shut it off.
Keyless ignition system will not shut off with key fob or start/stop button. The car shuts off, but the accessory stays on causing the battery to drain and die. The vehicle is stationary as it is being turned off. Searching online many mazda owners express the same problem with mazda doing nothing. This is a safety issue and should be recalled.
On 7/23/15, my key fob wouldn't work unless I press it up against the start/stop button, this has happened a few time and I'm not too worried about it. The odd thing was after it started and still in park, the vehicle auto locked the doors. I didn't think too much of it, I backed out of my driveway as normal and went to unlock the door for my wife. The door unlock function didn't work, it didn't respond to my key fob within the vehicle or my wife's fob outside of the vehicle. I decided to put the vehicle in park to see if it work then, still no respond to all three (door panel button, inside fob or outside fob). Only after turning the vehicle off and back on did the lock work correctly. I reported it to the dealer this morning, and was told they have no idea what could have caused this issue. I feel this is a safety issue that needs to be looked into and addressed.
