Before I freak... I have a Mazda 3i hatchback. Yesterday, the passenger side wheel bearing, control arm, hub and rotor replaced. I got it back with the dash lit like a Christmas tree. The engine, abs, and stabilization LIGHTS are on. Mechanic is staying he will replace abs sensor tomorrow.

I took it up the road and back to the driveway. The dam car wouldn't shut off. I had to hold in the push button start for 6 seconds. The engine shut off but accessories was on! I pushed the start button again and finally everything turned off.

I have NEVER had an issue with this car. The dealer went out of business. First time ever going to a mechanic. This is a 2013 Madza 3 2.0 hatchback with 51k miles. I bought it with 7 miles. I'm not ready to buy another!

 

How many miles on the odometer?

 

I have 138K miles on my 2012 manual 6 speed Mazda 3 Skyactiv... It drives like a charm..
Mazdas don't quit at 51K unless they have been in an accident.. Mazdas keep going and going and going....
Where has your Mazda been?.....For a 2013 only 51k miles don't seem right...
I would go online and look up the VIN# to your Mazda to see its history...
There are many websites that look up VIN #'s for free.

 

Dude I don't go anywhere! I usually walk. My car has 50,712 miles. I bought it in 2013 with 7 miles on it. I blew a wheel bearing and tore the hub. It went in for repairs and now I have all these lights on the dash and it doesn't shut off, if I start it. Mechanic guy says its the ABS sensor. So why would the push button start not shut off the car! This is why I never go to a local mechanics.

 

Try disconnecting your battery and then reconnect.... That will reset everything.
