Car remains in accessory mode when I turn it off
So been experiencing the following issue for over 8 months now on my 2013 Mazda CX-5 (Button start), not consistently but at least once daily.
Basically, the car remains in accessory mode when the ignition is turned off. To solve this, I either have to switch the gear to N or R, then click on the ignition button again to switch it off. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts to get it work.
I have done some research on this and not much success. Some think it is the ignition key, others suggesting it has to do with a faulty door latch.
I have taken it to two different mechanics and no one has a clue. Actually, one of the two mechanics happens to be the one who programmed my car to start remotely. Not sure if this helps , but originally when he programmed it, he told me that when I sit in the car, when I press the brake, the car will turn off and I have to start it again. But one day, after remotely starting it, I inadvertently clicked on the ignition key and noticed that when I clicked on the Brahe, the car didn’t turn off. The mechanic thinks may be what is causing the issue with the car remaining in accessory mode when I try to turn it off.
