2021 Mazda CX-5 grand Touring Reserve. 60,000 miles. Have had for 2 years. Started getting issues with start button at first. Would have to press it s couple times to get it to work. Happened intermittently. Became more frequent. Would have to do all sorts of weird combinations (different almost every time) to get the car to start. From pressing the start button and waiting a few seconds before engaging the brake, to sometimes having to engage the brake first. Sometimes I get the green light on the start button sometimes not. Didn't matter because sometimes it would start either way. Then on occasion after it starting fine, I could not shut it of. Then I would turn my headlights on (or even off sometimes) and that would stop the engine, without me even touching the start button! Got new battery. Seemed to help for a while, though it would still be quirky. Replaced key fob batteries as well. Doesn't seem to be the brake pedal switch either.
Rode it for a few days with having to wait a few seconds before engaging brake pedal and start button (in other words I'd press the start button for accessory and then press the pedal and button a few seconds later) and it would start fine. Always ran fine once started as well, but then I started getting all sorts of random warning lights and messages almost always different every time. Now I can't start it anymore. Got it started once and it was stuck in park. Any ideas what this could be? Trying not to have to take it to dealer since the nearest one is 2 hours away.
