Consumer Description
I HAVE A FULLY LOADED CX5 GRAND TOURING 2016 ---WHICH AFTER DRIVING 500 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. WHEN PUTTING THE GEAR IN DRIVE, THE CAR DID NOT MOVE--AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. AFTER A BIT, IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD INTO DRIVE--WHICH WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY SIMILAR TO OTHER REPORTS ON THIS SITE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I BECAME STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY DRIVEWAY SINCE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED FROM MAZDA AND INSTALLED. I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK AFTER 2 WEEKS. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WEEK, APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 200 MILES, I EXPERIENCED A "CREAKING" NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FROM A PARKED OR STOPPED POSITION. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE CONTROL ARM HAS FAILED AND HAS BEEN ORDERED FROM MAZDA. HOW COULD ALL OF THIS BE FAILING ON A BRAND NEW CAR? IT IS VERY UPSETTING AND PREPLEXING. PLEASE INVESTIAGE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE--
