I think it is unfair that a manufacturing problem has been unnoticed and left to people to pay for. I am already paying enough for this car to also have to worry about a manufacturing problem that has been left unattended by the company. This certainly is very dangerous as I might have the cars battery die and have no way of getting immediate help and right now it's just the car not acknowledging the parking mode but what if one day the car starts using the wrong shift unknowingly to me and I end up in a car accident because of this? I wont be able to do anything as this has been left unnoticed and no recall has been made even with the dangers it presents to the driver and the car itself.

2014 Mazda MAZDA6 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 47, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Radio and accessories do not always shut off when engine is turned off causing electrical drain on battery. Has happened many times. Dealers think it could be park switch. Any recalls on this issue?
As many of us have experienced, I also have an issue with the accessory mode staying on after turning the car off. Based on my research, it appears to be the parking switch inside the shifter wears off and the car doesn?t register the car is in park. Mazda should issue a recall on this, as I have experienced battery drainage and it seems to be getting worse with time. It seems to happen right around the 50-75k mileage, just outside the warranty period. It just seems too premature and not something that happens after 100k miles. It happens when the car is stationary.
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.
I own a 2014 mazda 6 grand touring. The car has about 72k miles on it. I bought the car a year ago and starting a few months ago the car would not turn off immediately after hitting the ignition button. The car panel would say that I had to put the car in parking even though the car was already in parking mode. Usually I was able to simply move the shift stick a bit and it would allow me to turn the car off completely. But it has gotten worst over time and it's beginning to affect my battery life. I have done some research and found out that my car is not the only one with this problem. Based on the information I found mane of the 2014 mazda 6 models (specifically those manufactured late 2013 and early 2014) have been showing this same problem with the ignition switch unit. Mazda found the problem and fixed it in the newer cars but a recall was never made for those cars with the bad switch unit. I tried contacting their support system today and their answer was that because a recall hadn't been done they would not do anything about it. I think it is unfair that a manufacturing problem has been unnoticed and left to people to pay for. I am already paying enough for this car to also have to worry about a manufacturing problem that has been left unattended by the company. This certainly is very dangerous as I might have the cars battery die and have no way of getting immediate help and right now it's just the car not acknowledging the parking mode but what if one day the car starts using the wrong shift unknowingly to me and I end up in a car accident because of this?

I was at walmart about 3 weeks ago and when I finished shopping I came out to my vehicle in an almost empty parking lot and my car would not start. With people already scared about the corona virus no one was willing to help. Since this is our only vehicle I ended up having to call a relative from to come and help me he told me that my battery had died, I told him that that couldn't be the problem when I got home I looked on the internet and I saw where there were hundreds of mazda car owners who were having the same problem, car will not shut off when in park draining battery. I joined the long list of mazda owners by calling mazda complaining about the apparent manufacturer's defect and was met with the same scripted scrip. "sorry but they have not received enough complaints for a recall and they felt that this was really not a "safety" issue, really? A woman being stranded in and empty parking lot at night with no security is not a safety issue, I don't see what is. Mazda know and has known for years about the gear shift being defected but has ignored the hundreds of complaints that have been called in because when we call in to cs they don't record complaint so therefore never enough registered complaints
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 mazda 6. When the push to start button was pressed to turn off the vehicle, the engine turned off, but the electrical features continued to operate independently and intermittently. The contact stated that an orange light on the push start button alerted him that the vehicle was in accessory mode. In order to fully turn off the vehicle, the contact would restart the vehicle, place the gear in drive, engage the emergency brake, and place the vehicle back into park. The contact stated that this method did not always work and that he would sometimes have to make multiple attempts for the vehicle to shut off. The contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency id number: 10160553. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 106,000.
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.
Engine will stall out while driving vehicle loses all power check engine light comes on battery light comes on traction control light comes on. When engine stalls out and then I lose power steering and brake control and will have to pull over to the side to restart the vehicle. Engine will sputter on start up which sounds like a faulty mass airflow sensor this is a 2014 mazda mazda 6 with 57000 miles
Vehicle push to start fails when shutting off car. The car's not reading that it is in park. Engine will shut off but all vehicle electronics will stay on and car can still be shifed out of gear. Dealership replaced gear selector switch which they said had a faulty spring.
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.
Accessory power not shutting off upon turning off ignition.
There is a red light indicator saying that the tires are not balanced. The light on the radio panel is on even after the car has been switched off.
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 $500.00. 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!
Fow inspection light comes on when going above 55 MPH. Cruise [xxx] off and brakes are pressed. Parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I could not ignite my car due to a dead battery in a winter night!
Tl* 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. *tt 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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 mazda 6. The contact stated that the push to start/stop button failed to turn off the vehicle when depressed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and it was diagnosed that the switch unit failed and needed replacement. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
The car will not power down when you shut off the car the shift is not working properly and it is manufactor defect
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.
Ignition does not always turn off when pushing the ignition button.
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.
