On [XXX], I was the operator of a 2019 Mazda CX-5 in Los Angeles, California. I parked the vehicle on an incline on or around [XXX] in Los Angeles, California, and then exited the vehicle. The vehicle remained stationary for some time, until it suddenly began rolling backwards at a speed that pushed me to the ground while I was getting my things from the passenger side door, causing me serious injuries.

Infotainment Issue (Ghost Touch Issue). Mazda has been experiencing problems with the Infotainment Issue (all around the globe.. I am located in Mexico. Not sure if this channel is the right way to ask for help outside the USA); in different models such as Mazda 3, CX5, etc. My Mazda CX5 is a 2019 year model with only 10,000 miles. The "Ghost Touch Issue" started just after the 3 year warranty expired. I have the extended warranty but Mazda just confirmed this issue is not covered anymore and I need to pay approximately $1,000 US Dlls to fix the issue (and only 3 months warranty... recommendation not to park the car under the sun which for me is ridiculous). This "Ghost Touch Issue is more than an annoyance. IT IS DANGEROUS. The vehicle itself says not to play with the system while driving. When the volume goes to max suddenly on the radio and channels or worse, settings suddenly change beeping with each change (this issue causes music stations to skip around back and forth, unattended phone calls, etc); and IT IS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO BE DISTRACTED. I got involved in a "small" car accident in 2013 due to a distraction while driving due to this crazy "ghost infotainment issue" on my vehicle. Mazda is aware of this issue and issued a service bulletin for 2014-2016 Mazda 3´s to have the screen fixed for no cost. What Mazda is waiting for to fix-make a recall and fix the issue at once? As outlined before this is a Manufacturer issue and they need to get accountable of this. Thanks in advance for your follow up and attention.
