Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I picked up my certified pre owned CX-30 just 2 days ago and noticed the windshield appears distorted or wavy which results in eye strain and headaches. This seems to occur in the left side of the windshield. It is difficult to focus for long periods of time. I asked another person to drive the car and they confirmed it nearly instantly. I recently learned this is a known issue with the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11512582, filed 2023-03“I have noticed the windshield is distorted and from reports all over the Internet that seems to be an issue with 20-22 mazda cx-30’s and I don’t think Mazda is going to replace it. It causes me to get fatigued, and a little dizzy at times during long distance driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11549655, filed 2023-10“Was driving on interstate, during the afternoon, not close to any other traffic ahead. It was neither raining nor particularly windy. I heard a very loud “explosion” sound, like a gunshot. I pulled over and my sunroof is bowed OUTWARD a little, and missing a big section of glass. There is no rock or debris laying on the interior screen, and the sunroof is NOT concave like from an impact. It is clearly blown upward.”
NHTSA complaint #11495052, filed 2022-11“The windshield in my 2021 CX30 had a distorted view on the passenger side of vehicle. Took it in to dealership who confirmed that there was obvious distortion in the windshield. Windshield was replaced and the new windshield has the same issue. Mazda is now saying that it is normal to have some distortion on this particular model and they will not replace the windshield again.”
NHTSA complaint #11469611, filed 2022-06“The contact owns a 2021 Mazda CX-30. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the interior rear mirror loosened and eventually fell from the roof of the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not yet repaired. Additionally, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message Critical Brake System Malfunction was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. …”
