Turn off engine but ignition stays on (2016 CX-5 Automatic)

[jimme]

2016 cx5 automatic when you turn the engine off the ignition stays on radio lights everything if you restat giggle the shifter in and out of park a few times it may shut off . Has anyone else had this trouble ? If so what is the fix ?

and you are turning the engine off when the shifter is in park, right?

Yes

Sounds like the switch on the shifter that tells the car that it's in park is screwed up. This has been reported here before.

Sure sounds like TSB 05-003/19 but the 2016 CX-5‘s are not listed. Try moving the shift to Park and releasing it. When it pops to its home position, see if it shuts off.

I had the problem with our 2014 CX-5. I fixed it myself and it's been fine ever since. I can't remember whether I just shimmed the switch/screw mount, or adjusted it now (it was 10 years ago ) but I did have to remove the console/surround to do it. Didn't need to buy a new switch, it was just a bit out of position.

This was the thread that led me on the journey: Set shift to "P". Auxiliary power stays on.

agreed, it’s likely that switch. I accidentally put my 2013 in park once with my phone facing out from the cubby. It put just enough rearward pressure on the shifter knob to turn the car off but keep accessories on. Car didn’t think it was in park. Yanked my phone out of the way and all was golden lol

We've had the problem described in TSB 05-003/19 for several years on our 2013 CX-5 and our early 2014 Mazda 6. I asked our dealership to fix the CX-5 (at my cost) but they won't even touch it. The workaround is to turn the engine back on the jam the shifter hard to the left in Park.

Would like to get it truly fixed, however. Has anyone here fixed their CX-5?

ON my previous CX-5 (2013) my key fob battery drained completely. Tried to open the car and it was not working at all so I forced my way in by opening the trunk and then the back door. Replaced the car battery ( initially I wrongfully assumed that the car battery died) and started the engine and I had exactly the same behaviour. It turned out that, in my case, by "breaking" into my car, the anti-theft system kicked in and that's why I had all the symptoms that you've described here ( according with the Mazda mechanic who fixed my car). You might wanna consider this avenue, too.

Did you read my post two above yours?

Thanks to YouTube posts, my wife and Mazda247ers, I fixed TSB 05-003/19 this week on both my 2013 CX-5 and 2014 Mazda6. Wouldn't have gotten it done without her! A light pointed in just the right direction can make all the difference!
