Mazda MAZDA5 Engine problems by year

On several occasions, most of which happened while in motion, my vehicle has stalled out of the blue with no warning. It seems to mostly happen when I'm slowing down or when I'm making a right hand turn and try to accelerate, suddenly there's no power to the engine. I have to put the vehicle into park and restart it. Twice while slowing down for a red light. Twice immediately after making a right handed turn, and once, when entering roundabout, after yielding. This is happened at least five times. The most recent incident occurring in August 2023.

The Mazda 5 was in a minor collision. The vehicle rear-ended another vehicle in stop-and-go traffic. Both vehicles were in motion, approximate speed of the Mazda 5 was 15MPH or less. The front seat airbags deployed. The other vehicle had rear bumper damage but the Mazda 5 immediately had smoke and flames under the hood. Thankfully, all four occupants immediately exited the vehicle to safety. The Mazda 5 quickly burned completely. Police and firefighters came to the scene and everyone agreed that the Mazda 5 fire was not commensurate with the extent of the collision and likely speed of impact. I am concerned there was a major safety defect that caused it to be engulfed in flames.

My check engine light came on. We took it to a mechanic who hooked it up to the computer. It read DTC p2096. When the mechanic looked it up, he noticed that there was a recall issued previously on this specific problem. The description said Target EF feedback system to lean- manual and automatic transmission. When plugging in my VIN number it said it was not affected. But my question is if I'm having the same problem and it affected the same year that my vehicle was made, why is my vehicle not on that recall list?

The tcm failed on the car and it is a very common thing. The design set the module in a location that overheats and malfunctions when connection is lost with mechanisms that warp under heat, the cost to repair at the dealership was extremely expensive

I was driving my Mazda 5 2007 in traffic when suddenly it burst into flames on the passenger side underneath the hood

Random intermittent stalling of the car starting about 100,000 miles. Car suddenly shuts down while driving, most notably while decelerating but sometimes while cruising along. It actually surged and bucked once recently, (Dec 2021 ~ 180,000 miles), while pulling up to a stop. This is causing me to feel increasingly unsafe in this vehicle as it could cause an accident since I have no control whatsoever during these occurrences. Very frightening and risky. Have feared for my life a couple times given the particular timing of the occurrence.

2015 Madzda s. Consumer writes in regards to unintended acceleration. The consumer stated while backing out of a parking space the vehicle suddenly accelerated and struck another vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 mazda 5. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. On one occasion, the vehicle broke down in the middle of a street and was towed to the contact's home. The contact had a mechanic inspect the vehicle who stated that the fuel pump could be the cause of the failure. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 163,000.

I have gone to multiple mechanics with no help. My vehicle surges or revs any time the ac is on to the point that the vehicle lunges forward even when my foot is on the brake. This occurs in neutral, drive and park. It specifically occurs when I am slowing down, stopping, or coasting at a low speed. It also jerks when in drive but not applying the gas, then revs with no warning. No check engine or other lights are coming on. I have been on several mazda forums and this seems to be a recurring issue wth this vehicle. It has caused me to hit a wall (i was slowing down, coming into a parking space) and my neighbors vehicle as I was waiting to turn right out of our condos.

After repeatedly going to various mechanics to get a diagnosis throughout the years, they were all unsuccessful to find any report through the vehicle's computer. However, my car's engine is constantly revved up even when applying the brakes an slowing down causing it to jerk forward. This occurs suddenly and randomly when I am going at speeds below 20 mph including while on idle. If I neither apply the brakes nor the accelerator, it will still drive forward at 3 mph in rhythmic jerky waves. We took the vehicle to...

My engine threw a rod. No visible oil leaks. No smell of oil. Oil was dry. No indicator lights on. Had to replace engine on car and car was not very old. This happened last year on 2012 mazda 5.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 mazda 5. While the contact's son was driving 45 mph, the driver heard a grinding and clunking noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the motor mounts failed and shifted the engine forward, which caused the cv joints and engine head to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

2008 Mazda 5. Consumer writes in regards to systemic problems with vehicle transmission. *Ld the consumer stated the rear shock mounts and the oil assembly had to be repaired. The wheel rims corroded internally, allowing air to leak from the tires. The ignition switch and transmission failed. Updated 08/23/2017*js

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 mazda 5. While driving various speeds, the engine revved at a high rate as if the vehicle would take off. The failure occurred while the vehicle was parked and the engine was warmed up. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
