2014 Mazda MAZDA6 driver assistance problems

Filed Oct 4, 2025 · Driver assistance, Transmission · CA

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.

As I put in park mode to turn off (push button) vehicle stay on accessory , radio and alarm beeping stays on and does not go off... I have read numerous complaints and reviews on mazda 6 & mazda cx5 experiencing the same problem, going back from 2012 and I just had a recall done on my calipers, and they said they replaced the door padding but nothing showed of new material. When I asked them about the start /stop problem they said they had never heard of this problem.. Today I have been doing research on this problem and read lots of this same problem. Why is it not a recall issue their has been so many complaints... Thank you for reading my issues.

For seemingly no reason, the vehicle will restart and stall while driving and multiple warning lights will illuminate. This has happened while driving slow, fast and while turning. When this happens, I need to immediately pull over and restart the engine. The check engine light turns on and indicates an abrupt voltage change issue, but soon turns off after a few power cycles. This started to happen more and more often, and more recently, I had the car not able to start as if the battery died. All my electrical components, such as headlights and hazard lights shut off and after about 10 seconds, they all turned back on and running normally. At this point my vehicle started up again just fine. This has nearly caused an accident a couple times and no mechanic has been able to diagnose the issue yet. Although, this issue seems alarmingly close to a recent recall that was announced for 2018-2019 mazdas relating to a software issue that causes unexpected engine stalling relating to the fuel-saving cylinder deactivation technology. Unfortunately, even though my vehicle contains the same technology, it wasn't included on this recall list.

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 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.

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!
