What owners wrote
After driving my lincoln mkz, where pressing the ignition stop button automatically puts the car in park, I drove my friend's 2014 mazda6. I pressed the ignition stop button but exited the vehicle without putting it in park. I did not notice any warning that the car had been turned off and exited without being in park. The car, although stationary when we left it, ended up rolling into another car in the parking lot. My initial estimate is that the total damage will exceed $5,000 to both cars.
Often when shutting off the car, the engine shuts off but the ignition and auxiliary power remain on. There is a message on the dash requesting to shift lever to p (park) but the lever is already positioned in p. It will take several attempts of shifting in and out of p to get the car to completely shut off all power.
