Consumer Description

CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN OFF AUXILIARY POWER WHEN PUT IN PARK AND ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. RADIO AND AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS CONTINUE TO RUN. I NEED TO START ENGINE, MOVE CAR BACK AND FORTH TWO OR MORE TIMES, PUT IN PARK AND PUSH IGNITION BUTTON AGAIN TO TOTALLY SHUT OFF POWER. THIS MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, THEN NOT OCCUR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME. MY CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I AM POSITIVE THE CAR IS IN PARK, AND TYPE OF WEATHER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE.IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MAZDA VEHICLES, AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY MAZDA DEALER TOLD MY MECHANIC THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CARS IN ONE WEEK COME IN WITH THIS COMPLAINT.
