“On April 15th, 2025, my 2022 Mazda CX-30 experienced a sudden malfunction while I was driving. Despite having the automatic emergency braking system and forward collision warning, the car failed to slow down or alert me before I hit another vehicle during a pile-up. Right after the collision, my dashboard lit up with multiple error messages about the forward collision system, brake system, and sensor malfunctions. I had the car towed to the dealership, where a full diagnostic scan was performed. …”

At 4,000 miles and again at 12,000 mile is would display low oil and require 1 quart of oil. The dealership acknowledged that it has an oil consumption issue, unresolved. I have to bring it in every time it is low prior to its required oil change time/miles. At 19,742 miles the cars battery died. They replaced it an have no reason why it died. Every time I'm driving in the mountain pass the transmission will not advance above 3rd gear. …”
NHTSA complaint #11526712, filed 2023-06“I've used cruise control for decades and use it even on city streets, so I can concentrate on the road rather than my speed. The concept of adaptive cruise control is great, but the execution is very flawed on my Mazda CX30. The system fails to recognize lane separation and turn lanes where lines do not exist. The result is the Mazda CX30 adaptive cruise frequently brakes to slow the car for vehicles not in the lane it is in. At some point this is going to result in a rear end accident, because of other vehicles not allowing proper distance and my Mazda CX30 slowing for no valid reason. …”
NHTSA complaint #11520927, filed 2023-05“While exiting the freeway there were no cars in front of my vehicle. The vehicles “smart braking system” triggered seemingly at random and brought the vehicle to an immediate stop. This is incredibly dangerous.”
