2024 Mazda CX-90 complaints

The steering is notchy during turns when the steering wheel is off center, making fine turning adjustments very difficult especially during turns. If any bumps are encountered during a turn or any turning adjustments need to be made, the steering will catch and release and move in a different direction than expected. It requires constant adjustment but the adjustments are not smooth, there is a binding/notchy feeling. When the car is stationary, the it is clearly observed by turning the wheel slowly and feeling the vibrations or observing the continuous jumps in steering wheel. I took the car into the dealer for repair under warranty and they said the steering wheel turns side to side so it's not a problem and refused to further diagnose or make any repairs. I told them it was unsafe to drive the car as is and they said there was nothing wrong with the car so they wouldn't be doing anything more. I asked to show them what was wrong and they said they had done enough and refused to do any more diagnostics. I asked them to look into Safety Recall 6524A and said it feels a lot like what other people describe was wrong with that recall, they said the recall has already been done to this vehicle it doesn't apply, and furthermore that the recall was not an actual issue but just Mazda wanting stiffer steering feel. I now have an appointment with a different dealer to see if they will fix it since the car feels very dangerous to drive as is.

Upon starting the vehicle, on the dash there was a message "hybrid system malfunction" as well as "engine malfunction have the vehicle inspected". Upon driving it home, the same message appeared 10/24/25 as of today when the car starts now the only message that remains is "engine malfunction have the vehicle inspected" I have an appointment at Mazda on 10/30/25 for the vehicle to be inspected. This vehicle has already been taken to this location for two recalls. Today 10/26/25 I looked up my vin for any new recalls and there is an additional recall. Manufacturer Recall Number7825I NHTSA Recall Number25V-568 Summary When fuel containing ethanol is used, it may react with materials on the sending unit circuit board in the sub-tank. This reaction can create a buildup that interferes with the gauge function that may cause the display on the instrument cluster to read an incorrect fuel level. Safety Risk If the vehicle incorrectly indicates an inaccurate fuel level, there is a risk of running out of fuel while driving. This would result in an engine stall and the vehicle cannot be restarted, increasing the risk of a crash.

Steering wheel is very still. I checked online and noticed there is a recall for this problem. I am requesting a recall on my vehicle so that the problem can be resolved.

The chrome/metal lining/coating on the Parking Break Switch peels off leaving a very sharp metal edge that cuts the finger (with bleeding) when owner tries to enable the parking break.

The steering rack catastrophically failed at highway speeds with no warning or signals from from the car that anything was wrong. I was driving on a curvy highway at 60mph when the steering started to feel a bit weird when turning to the left. At first it felt like irregularities in the road surface or something of that nature. A few moments later, it was clear that something was completely broken as the car would turn to the right completely normally, but had a wildly different amount of feeling and effort required to turn left at highway speeds. When taking a left curve at highway speeds, the steering inconsistently switched from taking several times more effort to turn the wheel (feeling as if components were grinding together) to being lighter than normal, oscillating back and forth between these feelings randomly. I distinctly remember that recall 6524A and the associated stop sale was for "2024 Mazda CX-90 vehicles that have a sudden increase in steering effort while driving" due to "A worm gear in the steering gear assembly may have excessive friction, leading to a sudden increase in the effort required to turn the steering wheel while driving" which said that "This sudden change in steering effort could increase the risk of a crash". I'm suspicious that the failure that I experienced is related to this original issue despite the recall being "resolved" for my 2024 CX-90. I can say with certainty that I'm lucky that I did not crash due to the issue. I'm extremely conce

The tires are listed with the manufacturer and were sold by Mazda on a brand new car to me as 65,000 mile tires I was at a little over 17,000 when Mazda said they were “wearing” oddly and this past Monday they said I needed replacement tires. The pros at the dealership stated they are seeing all CX-90 and CX-70 hybrids need tires before 25,000 miles. It is all over the internet that people are being told the extra weight and torque from the motor are wearing tires to quickly leading to needing to replace them well before time and or some folks are having tire failures. The couple at 16,000 miles needing tires was horrible to watch. It is my belief that the issue is a Mazda and falken failure due to a tire being used that is not suitable for the performance for the vehicle leading to a failure in safety. The dealership also stated the mileage had been removed from the tire sheet by Mazda for this particular tire in the last couple weeks so consumers can no longer request the printout for the VIN of their vehicle, but the mileage still remains for CX-5 options at 65,000. Mazda knows it is an issue and needs to find a solution quickly before lives are lost.

Can not control steering. Almost ran off the road merging onto the interstate because the steering wheel got stuck.

The contact owns a 2024 Mazda CX-90. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V568000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I bought a brand new 2024 CX90 in May 2025. I was on the on-ramp entering a Highway at an accelerating speed when the car all of a sudden went into a limp mode and was unable to accelerate. This limp mode that kicked in almost caused me to be hit from behind. Immediately on the dash it flashed Engine Malfunction. I had to pull over to the side of the highway and had the car brought to my local Mazda Dealer. My local Mazda dealer stated that the recent recall #25V-568 NTSHA caused the program/software for the car to misread my fuel pump and essentially burned out my fuel pump, and therefore breaking my fuel pump. They said they called Mazda, and Mazda is denying the fix because there is "no release date". Since Mazda is refusing to fix this, my local dealer says I have to drive the car as is. However, this is unsafe to drive. I paid for a brand new car only for it to have tech issues with Mazda refusing to do any fixes. This is our family car and I drive around with young kids. This is very unsafe to drive and Mazda needs to remedy this siutation immediately.

My Mazda CX90 consistently has a hard delay before jerking my car forward, especially when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear. This is most common at slow speeds and accelerating from a stop. On top of generally rough shifting, there have been four separate instances where my car blatantly stopped accelerating and slowed my car from 70-80 mph down to 40-45 mph. Once driving up a hill, and the rest on a flat interstate. I tried flooring the gas each time and the rpms would go up to approx 6000, but the car simply would not respond. After multiple attempts to let off of the gas and re-engage the vehicle, my car suddenly began accelerating again and continued as if nothing happened. I have been able to safely move out of traffic's way each time, but this presents a great threat to myself and others as I have no control over my speed and can easily get into a collision. As if uncontrollable stopping on the freeway isn't enough, my vehicle also accelerates on its own and jolts itself forward when driving at slow speeds through parking lots and stand-still traffic. These accelerations have occurred at idle with the breaks both on and off. The vehicle only propels itself forward by a couple of feet, but the issue seems to be getting more severe each time it occurs. Luckily I have been able to control the car and stop myself from hitting others so far, but I am afraid this may cause harm to pedestrians or people in nearby vehicles. I have mentioned these issues to my local Mazda deale

Steering wheel is "notchy" when turning, mostly to the left. Worse at higher speeds, like exiting or entering the freeway. It often feels like it may get stuck and I have to jerk it to the right a bit to get it unstuck.

"The steering wheel intermittently sticks and feels resistant when switching lanes or making turns, especially at highway speeds. It does not return smoothly to center, making it feel unsafe and unpredictable. I brought the vehicle to the Mazda dealership, but they stated they 'cannot replicate the issue' and refused to perform any repairs. This is a safety concern because the sticky steering can make it difficult to control the vehicle and could potentially lead to a crash. There are no warning lights or error messages displayed when this occurs. The issue happens intermittently, making it hard to demonstrate on demand, but it is recurring and worsening. Since this is a brand-new 2024 Mazda CX-90, I believe this could indicate a defect in the electric power steering system or related components."

While I understand that tires themselves are typically covered by the tire manufacturer’s warranty, this situation is different. Mazda equipped the CX-90 with Falken OEM tires that are inadequate for the weight and design of the vehicle, leading to premature wear at only 20,000 miles. This is not normal wear-and-tear. My claim is that Mazda bears responsibility for installing unsuitable tires on a heavy SUV, which created a safety hazard.

Decelerating behind traffic my Mazda cx90 shut the engine down. While still rolling traffic began to accelerate and I pressed the accelerator. The engine did not restart. I bottomed out the pedal with no reaction. I completely removed pressure from the pedal then pressed again before the engine restarted. This vehicle has already had a recall repair that seemed to be for this issue

The rear door seals on the vehicle do not seal which allows water and dust to enter the vehicle from the rear two doors. Mazda customer service has been contacted multiple times on this issue and they refuse to address the issue. The dealer it was purchased at said it was a known issue after we had already purchased the vehicle. You can look online and see a bunch of people reporting the same issue with no resolution.

My 2024 Mazda CX-90 brakes squeal very loudly at low speeds. Also when applying brakes it feels like the anti lock braking system is engaging.

The steering column has a stuck/ stickiness to it specifically when turning left. It’s extremely concerning because unless you’re jerking the wheel back the other direction immediately, it’ll stay in place allowing the vehicle to continue turning

Engine Malfunction have serviced. At least 3 times. One of the 3 (so called) repairs took 3 weeks. They said “Tariffs you know Japan”. When I get this warning my car engine seems to vibrate. I have only had my car since August of 2024. New vehicle I am the 1st and only owner. Today is June 22, 2025 and tomorrow will be another incident number 5. My car is doing this again. I am a [XXX]. Most of the time my car is in the garage. But I have to drive 188 miles on the turnpike to visit my son and come back. This is every 3 months or so. My other son drove to South Texas. These warnings always came on. Am I supposed to stay home and only go to the store. I pay over 700.00 a month. This is not good. I am now getting afraid to drive it. So tomorrow I will again have to drive to Edmond Oklahoma and have it repaired again. “Engine Malfunction have services”. I’m so disappointed. My son has a cx-5 and it’s a great car. I’ve had so many loaners. They have been fine. I am told this is a brand new model and we have to get the kinks out? This is at my expense, peace of mind. Please help me. Thank you.

We have had Multiple I-Sense(safety system).It will shutdown whwnever it feels like it no matter the weather.We have had at Mazda 7 times and they have applied several programming updates withouit success. We have also have Apple wireless airplay for directions and phone failure 100's of times and have had it Mazda fro the same 7 times to fix to no avail

I’ve been experiencing power loss and surges/RPMs drop for nearly a month now while driving at various speeds. Each time, the iStop indicator comes on. This is a serious safety concern. I am extremely worried that the vehicle could stall, especially while my family is in the car, while driving on a busy highway. Undoubtedly, this issue presents a significant risk to the safety of drivers and passengers. I am requesting your assistance in initiating an official recall from the manufacturer for this component failure. Based on my research, I am not the only one experiencing this grave issue. Many others have reported similar problems on forums like Reddit, which is proof that this is a widespread issue.

The contact owns a 2024 Mazda CX-90. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed low speeds and making a turn, the steering wheel jerked and vibrated, causing the vehicle to become difficult to maneuver. The contact stated that the steering wheel was pulling while veering to the right or to the left. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact stated that the failure persisted while driving. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

The contact owns a 2024 Mazda CX-90. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V815000 (Power Train, Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated while driving at approximately 5 MPH, the vehicle stalled and shuddered abnormally. The message to "Please Pull Over to a Safe Place" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that an unknown part needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Brought vehicle into Dealer for Service due to Check Engine Light being on and Notification of a Malfunction of the I-Stop System. Service Tech indicates that this is a known issue with the Hybrid Battery in these vehicles that could cause the vehicle to unexpectedly stall. This safety issue is significant enough that they would not let us take our car home while we wait for them to obtain a battery, which are currently on backorder. Pursuant to a conversation with a Mazda Customer Experience Representative this has been a known issue since at least January. We have not received any correspondence from Mazda regarding this issue. It would appear that a Bulletin or Recall is warranted for what appears to be a prevalent issue with significant safety impacts.

On multiple occasions the vehicle has falsely detected collisions and suddenly braked while on highway leading to serious safety issues. On other occasions, while changing the lanes with blinkers on, the vehicle suddenly steered back into the original lane and triggered a collision warning even though there was no vehicle/obstacle nearby. This created a serious risk of collision. Even at slow speeds, the vehicle inaccurately triggers a collision warning creating unsafe driving conditions. This frequently happens when we are driving the vehicle in the parking garage, even in absence of moving vehicles nearby. The mild hybrid power train system had issue leading to hybrid system malfunction and iSTOP malfunction. This finally led to hybrid battery failure and the vehicle remaining out of service for over a month. Apple Carplay disconnects erratically creating hazardous condition especially when we are using Carplay for navigation. Such a disconnection requires the driver to suddenly reach over to the phone and input driving directions in the phone again. This is especially dangerous in city driving conditions needing frequent turns.

The contact owns a 2024 Mazda CX-90. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V814000 (Electrical System, Structure) and 24V815000 (Power Train, Engine and Engine Cooling); and parts were available. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer, he was informed that the manufacturer would not cover the cost of the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed with the contact that as the second owner of the vehicle, he was not entitled to have the cost of the repair covered by the manufacturer. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Hybrid battery failure. Battery issue can cause car to lock up while driving. Dealer service department indicate they have at least 6 vehicles with this same issue. The vehicle has not been inspected by other than the dealership service department that I am aware of. While driving to the dealership for a routine oil change, the car made a quick odd noise then 3 alerts came on said Hybrid system malfunction have vehicle inspected, engine malfunction, system malfunction. Dealer inspected vehicle determined needed a hybrid batter replacement, indicated they could not say vehicle was safe to drive as it could just stop working. Considering they already have a number of cars with same issues in the shop I am concerned this could be a defect problem in many vehicles.

The vehicle displayed "Engine Malfunction have your vehicle inspected" on the dash along with orange lights. The vehicle would drive but without warning would not come up to speed. This caused an unsafe situation entering the interstate where the vehicle was below the minimum speed until we could exit the highway. There was no warning of the low power and inability to operate normally. This was a known problem and the vehicle had all of the recalls already performed. Dealer states there is a problem with the low pressure fuel pump. I am not confident the problem will be solved.

I've noticed ever since the car was new that it had a poor sense of straight ahead especially at freeway speeds. When the lane departure chime was active it would sound constantly{has since been turned off but lighted markers in gauge cluster still fire all the time}. When I take my attention off road for a second to adjust fan speed or temp, the car is close to going into the other lane. Lots of concentration necessary. I've mentioned this to one dealer who checked and adjusted alignment with no improvement and another dealer said they've had other owners of Mazda CX-90's voice the same complaint. There's also a long term test in Motor Trend on a CX-90 that complained about the same issue. I feel there is something wrong here that could be a potential safety problem.

Steering sticks while driving. Then, all of a sudden releases, and this causes a jerk in the steering and vehicle movement in the direction of steering. Vehicle recall 6524A/Jan 18, 2024 for "increase in steering effort" was completed in April 2024. This issue is very apparent at interstate highway cruising speeds to just maintain staying in traffic lane. Worried that steering may continue sticking and not be able to maneuver vehicle to drive safely avoid an accident. Turned off the vehicle lane assist feature to diagnose the issue, the issue still exists with the lane assist feature turned off.

The wires under the hood were chewed up by rodents. The cars wires are insulated with a soy based wiring coating. My car is at the dealership for repair and deemed undrivable. This is so unfair because the car is new and only has 6200 miles on it. I am now facing insurance deductible. The dealer says the vehicle is undrivable because it is a safety issue and the engine might catch fire

The contact leased a 2024 Mazda CX-90. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH in the far left lane, the vehicle jerked and the steering wheel seized, causing the contact to lose control of the vehicle. It was unknown whether warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle veered to the right independently, spun three times, crashed into the guard rail and came to a stop while facing oncoming traffic. The front driver's side airbag and an unknown air bag deployed. There were unknown warning lights illuminated after the crash. The emergency units arrived at the scene, but the contact refused to be examined. The contact sustained a minor hand burn from the air bag deployment but did not seek medical assistance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a collision center, where it was totaled. The insurance company was not contacted. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

Bought this brand new CX90 Premium in October 2024! As of today Feb 11, the car has been in the dealership 4 x fir the same issue!! Dead battery after sitting for 2 weeks! They have replace one small battery and that worked for a month! Took it in last week for the same issue! Dead battery! We find that this is a very coming problem. They said they would now replace the 58 volt battery but it is on back order for 8 weeks. In the mean time I’m paying on this car and I have to drive a loaner which isn’t even close to my car! I’m finding out by talking to other customers this is a common problem! We didn’t get any notice or call! I am demanding this be considered “lemon law” as this is the fourth time it has been in for the same problem. I want all my money back that I paid and demand Mazda USA issue recalls for this issue. It is definitely a big safety issue! The dealer seems to be trying but they are frustrated as well! They are Olympia Mazda in Olympia, Wash, service manager is James Ellis Please respond!

I opened the rear lift gate. I turned around to grab a bag of vegetables. I leaned in to put them in the back of the car... The lift gate hit my head and continued closing pushing down on my head. I was finally able to twist out from under it and it closed all the way. I did not hear any warning beeps. My head and neck are sore. I worry this could kill someone.

When the gear shift is bumped it can go from Drive to Neutral by accident and without the driver's knowledge. I would assume this button needs to be depressed to change gears but on this car it will go from Drive to Neutral without depressing this side button.

The fuel gauge and range indicator are faulty. I was doing long-distance highway driving during the holidays. At 1/4 tank, the range indicator said 110 miles until empty. As soon as the needle dipped a fraction below 1/4 tank (about 20 miles later) the range indicator dropped instantly to 40 miles left AND THEN DROPPED ONE MILE PER SECOND UNTIL IT REGISTERED ZERO. The needle also fell at the same rate until I was driving on the interstate with zero range and a gas gauge buried below empty. All of this occurred within one minute. I pulled into the nearest gas station and filled up with 12.71 gallons (it's an 18.5 gallon tank). So I actually had 5.79 gallons left (or 156.33 miles of range at 27mpg on the highway). Not being able to rely on the gas gauge/range indicator is a safety issue.

My vehicle had a previous recall done concerning the steering - recall #24V022000 of 2024-01-17. That corrected a problem I was having with a 'notchy' feeling in the steering when going down a relatively straight road. The problem I am having now with the steering is different and IMO is more dangerous of an issue. The problem is a notchy and "locked" feeling when the steering wheel is turned and kept at a required angle when going around a constant radius bend in the road. The specific problem is that when the steering wheel is required to be turned back to the center position after the road straightens, the wheel feels like it is almost locked in the turned position and sometimes returning the wheel to the center position results in an overcorrection which may cause the vehicle to cross over the centerline of the road and into the oncoming traffic. Interestingly, when I had my car into the dealer for a repair and was given another CX-90 as a loaner, the loaner exhibited the same issue. I brought this to the attention of the service manager and he basically ignored my concern. I will be making an appointment with the dealer in the near future and address this issue but I decided to report this issue because it looks to me like my vehicle is not the only vehicle with this potentially dangerous issue. I have been able to anticipate when this occurs but wonder if a less attentive driver would have a serious problem.

I am concerned about a serious safety issue with my CX-90. Both of the rear doors have consistently malfunctioned, failing to latch properly when closed. The door handles get stuck and do not fully return to their original position, preventing the doors from locking securely. As a result, the doors have swung open while the vehicle was in motion, putting passengers, especially children in the back, at significant risk. This is a critical safety concern that needs immediate attention. This issue goes back mid November 2024.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to formally raise a safety concern regarding my Mazda CX-90 Turbo S Premium Plus, which I purchased and currently have approximately 25,078 miles on. This vehicle is equipped with a mild hybrid 48V battery, which is not a full high-voltage battery. The vehicle has been at the dealer since December 9th for ongoing issues. On [XXX], I began experiencing multiple malfunctions, including the Mild Hybrid System Malfunction, Engine Malfunction, and iStop Malfunction (with the iStop malfunction indicator blinking). This is a serious safety concern. I was extremely worried that the vehicle could stall, especially while driving on a busy highway at high speeds. Both myself and my family felt fearful while driving the car. I believe this issue presents a significant risk to the safety of drivers and passengers. I am requesting your assistance in initiating an official recall from the manufacturer for this component failure. Based on my research, I am not the only one experiencing these issues—many others have reported similar problems on forums like Reddit, which suggests that this could be a widespread issue. Additionally, Mazda offers a 6-year/60,000-mile warranty on this hybrid battery. If the component fails after this period, the cost to replace it could reach $6,000, with the customer being responsible for a large portion of the expense. This is concerning, especially considering that if this part fails after 30,000 miles, the customer may be expected to

CX-90 AC system is faulted, while driving it keeps the temperature at comfortable level. However, it starts to blow warm and humid air at idling or stopping at traffic or traffic lights (with i-stop disabled). When gear is shifted into Park or Neutral, AC starts working normal again. This causes uncomfortable and unpleasant driving experience in hot summer months. The complaint has been filed with Mazda Corporate, but no resolution to this issue. Hopefully, this will be investigated by Mazda Engineers.

I’ve only owned this brand new vehicle for just two months. Had I known these issues, I would not have purchased the CX90! Having issue with I-stop causing vehicle to stop whenever and now the dash display just popped up yesterday 12/09/24 regarding “Headlight Malfunction contact dealership”. I contacted the dealership yesterday and was going to be charged for a diagnostic test on a two month old vehicle, I don’t think customers should have to pay for a diagnostic test on a “brand new vehicle” and was also advised, Mazda is aware and working on issue (headlight malfunction has been complained about since 2023) but no recall on headlight malfunction, test! As well as now, there are two campaign #7024 J and #7124 J But at the present time service department is waiting on “when” the recall and headlight issue can be serviced! I’m confused why owning a brand new vehicle and being told of issues and experiencing issue along with recalls and not being able to get them fixed is asinine! What customer wants to pay lots of money on a vehicle to risk injury or damage due to manufacturer dragging their feet. I would appreciate assistance in these issues! Thank you

While driving (less than 2000 miles on the OD) in our 2024 cx90 SE the vehicle started to shift out of timing and everything shut off at once. The vehicle lost all power and all parts shut down. The vehicle would start back up and power steering went out. Our driving speed was at 30mph so it was extremely scary during rush hour traffic. We had to have it towed to the dealership, we're not sure what the issue will be.

The contact owned a 2024 Mazda CX-90. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the engine seized. The contact stated that the failure occurred while the contact was driving at night on a busy dark road. The Police was contacted for assistance. The contact stated that it took two days for the vehicle to be towed from the location because the vehicle was missing a tow tool. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact no longer owns the vehicle, after agreeing to a buyback. The failure mileage was approximately 28,100.

Vehicle present engine hesitation. In acceleration the engine losses power, noticeable delay and jerk when accelerating from a stop. Also if you have to make a suddenly speed reduction, you see that the vehicle still accelerating. First time the dealership did a technician service bulletin to fixed the problem, but for the second time with exactly the same problem they said that is normal. That’s a safety issue and Mazda is ignoring the concern.

When making a slight left turn at a curve steering wheel locks up and requires force to to turn it straight again , it is very dangerous and could result in accidents

Approximately six weeks ago, I began to notice the steering locking up ever so slightly as I made corrections in sweeping turns at 50 mph or so. In the beginning, I thought that it was road imperfections, but then it became more persistent and undeniable. Following this, it began to lock up more so when turning from a standing stop and accelerating, as when I was merging into traffic from my subdivision street. Some days, I notice it more than others. I was unnerved. I took the vehicle to the dealer, reported the concern, and was regarded as a purple squirrel. I was told that every update related to the steering had been completed and that there was nothing that they could or would do. The problem remained. With the concern remaining, I returned to the dealer and was told that someone else with the exact vehicle reported the problem the day before. Still, there was nothing that they could do as Mazda had not provided any guidance. I do not want to drive the vehicle. It is unsafe.

Loss of engine power/acceleration while driving on highway. Was able to safely pull over but felt in danger during the incident especially with cars behind me surprised by my vehicles loss of power.

Same problem as Recall no. 24V349000, which does not apply to my vehicle because it is newer than the manufacturer build range. 100% repeatable.

Mazda Connect (Infotainment System) will regularly freeze and reboot. Issue is more pronounced when more than one iPhone is connected via USB-C. If each phone has a different version of iOS, Mazda Connect will freeze, crash, and reboot. If one person is connected and then physically disconnects, then another iPhone with a different version of iOS connects, Mazda Connect will freeze, crash and reboot. To make matters worse, these incidents are not recorded in any logs.

Mazda's Driver Personalization System is highly defective and properly recognizes a driver, at best, 40% of the time. Since multiple functions are tied to this system such as seat position, steering wheel position, infotainment presets, and a variety of other vehicle preferences, this not only causes an inconvenience issue but also a safety issue. The safety problem is that one has to stop the car, put it into Park, press through multiple menus and keystrokes just to change the setting to the correct driver.

Stopped at a red light on a busy 2-lane road. I-stop function turned the engine off. When the light turned green, releasing the brake caused a "Hybrid Battery Malfunction" error and the engine failed to start. We put the transmission in park and attempted to turn off and turn on the car with the push to start button. When we attempted to start the car with the push to start button, the car would not start. We were unable to shift into neutral to move the car out of the busy 2-lane highway and were blocking traffic for about an hour. The first tow truck to arrive was unable to move the car onto the flat-bed because the transmission was stuck in park and would not go into neutral so another tow truck was dispatched with a dolly. Our safety was at risk because we were stuck in an immobile car in busy highway traffic. A police officer arrived to help direct traffic around our disabled car. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and has not been inspected as of the time of this report.
