“Lane assist system acts on it's own and attempts to override my input. It can be very jarring especially at high speeds. I notice the issue mostly when I'm on the highway/freeway and attempting to lane change or take an exit ramp. The system trys to correct my steering and I have to briefly fight against it to maintain control.”
NHTSA complaint #11730348, filed 2026-04“While traveling eastbound on GA-20, I signaled to change lanes with my hands in the 9 and 3 position. I don't hold the wheel in a death grip like some people do, as I am confident with my vehicle and my skills. As I am changing lanes at 62 mph the car jerked the wheel to the right while flashing a warning that I need to hold the wheel. This has happened multiple times even though I am in complete control of the vehicle and very comfortable with my hand position. The car should NEVER jerk the wheel like that unexpectedly. I have lane departure turned off for this reason.”
NHTSA complaint #11683477, filed 2025-08“The steering wheel on the car will often get stuck and not return to the normal position when turning. Happens at low speeds on on/off ramps and at interstate speeds when the road slightly shifts. “Jerking” the steering wheel is often required to get the car to drive straight and return to normal driving position.”
NHTSA complaint #11738320, filed 2026-05“I purchased a Certified Pre-Owned Mazda CX-70 that exhibits intermittent and unpredictable steering behavior, creating a significant safety concern. The steering will intermittently stiffen and then pull the vehicle left or right without driver input, at times toward oncoming traffic or the breakdown lane, requiring immediate correction. On straight roads, the vehicle does not consistently track and will drift unpredictably. When driving over minor road variations (such as small bumps or frost heaves), the steering wheel may jerk suddenly in the opposite direction. …”
