Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driver side and passenger side axle-area, making loud clicking and popping sounds on turns indicating major damage to CV joint, at around 10,000 miles. Primarily heard on sharply turned wheel acceleration. Two dealerships said they couldn't reproduce the issue even though I showed them the issue on recorded video. I demand that this be taken seriously as a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11722637, filed 2026-03“Mazda CX-50 at 22000 miles CV joint on passenger side making clicking sound under moderate acceleration. Scheduled service with dealer on 1/28 received appointment date of 3/2 for inspection and possible repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11719854, filed 2026-02“Vehicle CV joints failed at 6000 miles, dealership took over 3 weeks to replace them. They claimed multiple CX50 hybrid vehicles are impacted and lots of them already returning under the same problem”
NHTSA complaint #11718410, filed 2026-02“The vehicle was traveling at highway speeds when it experienced a sudden, violent lateral jerk to the side, causing immediate side-curtain/seat airbag deployment prior to impacting the center divide. I believe there was a sudden, catastrophic mechanical failure of the front suspension componants causing a partial detachment of the front driver's side wheel. This failure mirrors the exact defect described in NHTSA Campaign 24V834000 / Mazda Recall 7925J regarding un-torqued front suspension fasteners. …”
NHTSA complaint #11751702, filed 2026-07“I am reporting a potential safety-related defect involving premature axle failure on Mazda CX-50 vehicles. The axle appears to be prone to early failure under normal driving conditions, sometimes at relatively low mileage. There are multiple reports from other Mazda CX-50 owners describing similar axle or CV axle failures, including clicking noises, vibration, loss of power to the wheels, and complete axle failure. These reports are publicly documented on online owner forums and Reddit, suggesting a pattern rather than isolated incidents. …”
