“Cruise control and lane keeping system engaged. Vehicle will occasionally aggressively apply brakes, when nothing visible is in front of the vehicle. This has nearly cause our car to be rear ended on a number of occasions. I suspect the system mistakenly interprets a building or vehicle shadow as a physical object. This response has also occurred when vehicle in front (cruise control distance at slower speed) turns right. Again, nearly causing vehicle behind to be rear ended.”

NHTSA complaint #11716422, filed 2026-02

“What is happening with my car are the exact symptoms of the known Mazda Recall 6824H - where the Smart Brake Support suddenly engages for no reason and when it does not need to - which has almost caused me to be rear-ended a few times. This has happened at least 7-8 times since I have owned the vehicle. Apparently, my VIN does not fall under the cars that Mazda reports for the Recall, but nonetheless, my car is still malfunctioning as the Recall describes, which is a safety issue for me. …”

NHTSA complaint #11760963, filed 2026-08

“When driving the vehicle incorrectly thinks there is an object in front of me and engages the emergency braking function. This has happened 3 times since getting the vehicle. The vehicle also occasionally incorrectly indicates there is a vehicle next to me when I turn on my turn signal. This has happened on a clear, sunny day. The incorrect emergency breaking could put me at a collision risk if another car is behind me and/or if engaged when driving at a high speed. This could endanger my life. …”

“Since purchasing the vehicle, the braking system has activated on its own for no reason. Today, Oct 19, 2026, it was cold and it said the system was failing. My camera system fails when it rains. My 2024 Mazda CX-30 has 62,000 miles and is experiencing the exact catastrophic phantom braking and forward camera failures detailed in NHTSA Recall 24V649000 (Mazda Campaign 6824H). My VIN is currently excluded from the recall campaign, but the vehicle is a severe highway safety hazard due to spontaneous unprovoked braking”

NHTSA complaint #11772129, filed 2026-10

“What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The automatic braking turned on while I was accelerating. My car is available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I could have been rear ended because my car automatically braked at an unpredictable time in rush hour traffic with someone very close behind me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? It has happened to me maybe 4 times before but the dealer hasn't been able to reproduce it. …”
