Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I previously reported the auto breaking system would slam on breaks prematurely. Now it was a factor in an accident where the Mazda CX-50 was rear-ended by a Ram 2500 truck at full speed on the highway. Car is incompaitated and I have suffered injuries.”
NHTSA complaint #11746992, filed 2026-06“Cruise control surges beyond normal limits, has tried to take curves on exits so fast the tires slide and I have to slam on the brakes. Also, when pulling out from behind a car, the cruise control kicks in too fast and is flying toward stopped cars, and I have to use the brake to stop it or rear-end the car in front of me. Also, the fuel system would not allow me to fill up the gas tank, and I was stranded. Computer would not open the fuel tank for me to put fuel into it. Has to pry the entire assembly off and break it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11742406, filed 2026-06“The automatic emergency braking in this vehicle is faulty. It misinterprets obstacles and uses the emergency braking inconsistently. I park in a parking garage and I have to slowly (less than 5 MPH) drive up any ramps because it apparently sees the ceiling of the garage as a obstacle and as a result, will randomly brake with no notice (which feels like getting rear ended). The dealer said it is working as designed and said I can turn this function off, but I have to turn it off every time I start the car. I also updated the sensitivity t the lowest setting, which didn’t help. …”
NHTSA complaint #11761096, filed 2026-08“Emergency brake came on as I was backing out of parking space, pausing to double check for traffic not seen on camera. The emergency brake froze on on and car was stuck, unmovable, in traffic lane. The emergency brake would not release when put in reverse or drive. The same problem happened again the next day in forward. Two different dealers were not able to duplicate the problem. No warning lights came on.”
NHTSA complaint #11739471, filed 2026-05“When approaching cars at an intersection, the brake warning does not give any warning, but the cars brake, lock up, and throw me and anything in the seat flying into the floor or side compartment. It was not even necessary to stop that quickly. Totally random and could cause an accident.”
