2024 MAZDA CX-90
Filed May 28, 2026
My car is experiencing sticky steering during wide sweeping left turns that are long duration at a moderate speed (like highway on-ramps or intersections). Steering sticks when re-centering the wheel after the turn. I would describe it as a brief stuck feeling mid-drive where extra effort is needed to get out of turn. It has been happening since 02/2024.

When turning or taking corners, sometimes the steering wheel will straight up just be stuck in place and I will have to use extra force to move it. Mazda claims the recall for this has already been performed on my vehicle, but the issue has returned. This confirms the reports I’ve seen where the “fix” Mazda has done on this does not actually fix the problem and makes me worry heavily for my families life when driving them in this vehicle.

We purchased a certified preowned 2024 Mazda CX90 yesterday. Within the first 10 minutes of driving off the lot, I experienced tugging, pulling and a sticking sensation of the steering. It first happened when I turned right and took a good amount of force to unstick it, and then it happened maybe 3 more times when making minor adjustments or making turns going left or right. It felt extremely unsafe to me and could cause serious accident. I called our sales agent immediately to let them know…

I am reporting a persistent steering problem with my 2024 Mazda CX-90. While driving, especially when the highway bends to the left, the steering wheel feels like it sticks or partially locks at a certain left-turn position. When I try to return the steering wheel back toward center to continue straight, I have to apply extra force to overcome the resistance. Once it breaks free, the steering returns, but the sticking creates an unsafe delay and unexpected steering effort. The problem is…

I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2024 Mazda CX-90 (VIN: [XXX] ). My vehicle previously received the steering recall repair related to increased steering effort/power steering concerns. Despite the recall remedy being completed, I continue to experience intermittent abnormal steering behavior consistent with the ongoing NHTSA investigation into post-recall “sticky steering” concerns on repaired CX-90 vehicles. Symptoms include intermittent steering resistance, a notchy or sticky…

The vehicle started to hydroplane in rain on the highway and the lane keeping assist aggressively tried to push me back, which ended up causing us to hydroplane more and causing the vehicle to flip around backwards and we ended up sliding completely off the highway into a ditch totaling the vehicle.

Steering wheel became stuck when making a long left turn while driving on the freeway. The turn lasted approximately 30 seconds. Around 3-4 seconds into the turn, the steering wheel suddenly locked up for approximately 1-2 seconds. Eventually the steering wheel was released resulting in a sudden jerk, leading to the car veering to the right lane. A correction was made using the steering wheel to maintain center lane. Once again the steering wheel got stuck, resulting in the same jerk behavior.…

The steering wheel on our Mazda CX-90 has been getting stuck when turning the vehicle. This failure occurs when there is a slight turn in the wheel (approximately 25-45 degrees). The steering wheel gets stuck and the driver has to use force to break it loose. This action causes the vehicle to overcorrect into either the lane next to vehicle or into oncoming traffic. I have done research and Mazda has acknowledged that this is a known issue and even issued a recall for our 2024 Mazda CX-90.…

When I’m driving, the steering wheel suddenly gets stuck and pulls against me with force. This is extremely dangerous, especially on the freeway or when going over a bridge — the car pulls in the opposite direction of where I’m steering. The brakes also start squealing very loudly. It feels like the steering wheel is about to lock up while I’m driving, and I’ve had to physically fight it to keep control of the car. This is a serious safety risk, and it feels like the vehicle could lose steering…
