Speed decrease happens regardless of vehicle speed. Amount of decrease is severe depending on sharpness of the turn, but will happen even on gentle sweeping turns on an interstate highway. Behavior is reproducible during all variety of driving conditions.”
NHTSA complaint #11308610, filed 2020-02, 2,100 miles“Vehicle display on dashboard, steering wheel, shift console, audio controls, seats adjustments are not illuminated. The letters and numbers are not lighted. Unable to know which buttons to push because printing is so small and many controls are grouped too close together. Mazda cx5 owner's manual is for all Mazda models. There is no indication as to what feature is included on my car. This car lacks lighted display and contains small letters/numerals whileparked, moving or driving in day or night; Mazda dealers in two different towns report unable to improve situation that's how it is .”
NHTSA complaint #11375629, filed 2020-11, 15 miles“Went to drive home from work one night, car had been normal until this event. Car suddenly began to state that it was overheating and throttled my speed down to 20 MPH. I was in the middle of traffic going 40-50 at this time. Turns out there is a VSB regarding a coolant leak that can occur and break. Nothing about how you are suddenly governed to 20 MPH”
NHTSA complaint #11593770, filed 2024-06“On interstate 90 while driving at 75 mph under cruise control I passed an 18 wheel truck on a curve. With no cars in front and two following, the car without warning braked heavily and control screen flashed warning BRAKE. The car immediately behind braked and veered on the bearm to avoid me. I stepped on gas to override the brakes and avoid an accident.”
