Consumer Description

I have had a system malfunction, that has caused a dead battery in May 2022 and then again Aug 2022. The car was in park and I received a notification on the Mazda app about 5 hours after being in the car that stated "Critical Vehicle Malfunction Alert." I had to have my car towed and serviced at a Mazda dealer but they found no issue with the battery. This happened again in August. According to the Mazda C-X5 Manual, like all modern cars, even if something was left on (light on, door open, ACC on) it should automatically turn off after 25 minutes.
