2010 MAZDA MAZDA6
Filed Jun 23, 2026
I recently had my front subframe replaced as part of your recall, however, the rear subframe and all components attached are suffering from the exact same rust and potential component failure as the front. I was replacing my brakes today and noticed that the entire structure is on the verge of complete failure. The right rear suspension already makes unusual noises when going over even small bumps and I imagine if I were to hit a large pothole that would probably be the end of this car. I…
2022 MAZDA CX-5
Filed Jun 23, 2026
Humming sound coming from driver’s side headlight as soon as unlock bottom pressed in key fob. This sound comes from a faulty cooling fan inside the headlight and is a known defect. Humming sound progressed to very slow pitch indicating that fan function is diminishing over time. Mazda will replace the headlight but required me to pay $200 toward it. This should be a recall with replacement at no cost to the consumer as they are aware of the defect.
2024 MAZDA CX-90
Filed Jun 23, 2026
On May 2, 2026, I took my 2024 Mazda CX‑90 to Mazda of Orange because the steering wheel was getting stuck and there was a loud chirping noise when turning the car on and off. The dealership kept my car for 28 days. When I picked it up, they told me the noise was fixed. After three days, the noise returned. The next morning, the car would not start, so I had to jump it and take it back. They said it was the brake assembly line and claimed it was safe to drive when it wasn’t. They also said the…
2025 MAZDA CX-70
Filed Jun 23, 2026
This happens often. On a trip to Florida of 1200 miles, it happened 12 times each way. After being slowed in the right lane by a car in front driving slower tan my set cruise speed, I signal and move to an empty (in front of me) left lane. Instead of accelerating to resume my set cruise speed, the car decelerates abruptly by as much as 10 mph. If a car is following me and most logically is expecting me to accelerate after moving to the left lane, that car's driver is surprised and risks rear…
2019 MAZDA CX-5
Filed Jun 23, 2026
I am reporting a safety defect in my 2019 Mazda CX‑5 involving the heated seats and airbag system. The vehicle was bought certified pre‑owned with a warranty up to 100,000 miles included in the sale. Around March, at about 82,000 miles, the heated seats began causing electrical problems, and I was told this fault could affect the airbag system and that the airbags might not deploy in a crash. I have taken the car to a Mazda dealer four times and the issue has not been fixed; the dealer…

2016 MAZDA CX-5
Filed Jun 22, 2026
Repeated Failure and Rebooting of Mazda Connect Infotainment System I am the owner of a 2016 Mazda CX-5. The factory Mazda Connect infotainment system has developed a recurring defect in which the system repeatedly reboots to the Mazda logo while driving. Prior to complete failure, the navigation system became intermittent and Bluetooth connectivity frequently disconnected, requiring repeated attempts to reconnect devices. The system now continuously cycles through the startup screen, making…
2026 MAZDA CX-50
Filed Jun 21, 2026
At approximately 2,900 miles, during the first oil change/service, the factory-installed spin-on oil filter could not be removed normally. The oil filter required approximately one hour of removal effort and would not spin off in a normal manner. When the filter was finally removed, the oil filter threaded adapter/union came out of the engine-side oil filter housing while still seized inside the oil filter. The adapter threads showed visible damage, including flattened, galled, and torn thread…

The mazda Cx-9 is having the same fuel pump issues that was recalled up until 2018 models. The issue with the lean codes and faulty fuel pump continues
