“This is a 2024 Mazda CX-90 PEHV where I took it in for all recalls on January 17th, 2025 related to loss of power and hybrid system malfunction. Today, Jan 31st, 2024 (2 weeks and a few 100 miles later), I now have engine malfunction warnings lights. This car has serious issues that nearly caused a bad accident where POST recall, the issues continue”
NHTSA complaint #11639858, filed 2025-01“On my way to drop kid to school all of a sudden the car gave up power and shuddered with engine malfunction and I-drive malfunction warning. Check engine light came on. This is risky because another vehicle could have smashed into us if on highway or high speed. Research shows that a whole lot of people have this identical issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11620262, filed 2024-10“I was driving on the freeway on the fast lane and the vehicle slowed from 65mph to zero in about 30 seconds and came to a complete stop. It happened so fast I couldn’t change lanes to get to a safe spot. I was left stranded on the fast lane of the freeway with traffic coming right at me. Vehicle displayed a Hybrid system malfunction message.”
NHTSA complaint #11549583, filed 2023-10“Issue Summary: Since December 27, 2024, my vehicle has experienced a hybrid malfunction and leakage issue three times. Each time this occurs, the vehicle becomes completely inoperable and cannot move, requiring a tow truck to take it to the dealership. Since December 27, 2024, my car has been in the shop four times, yet the issue persists. This raises serious reliability and safety concerns, as the vehicle can suddenly become unusa”

When attempting to bring the car to a safe location, the vehicles brakes wouldn’t work. Then the car displayed a bunch of errors, like “Engine Malfunction” and “Hybrid System Malfunction”. The car has been in service twice for this issue and they haven’t found a fix. This malfunction has happened twice during our commute with our children in the car.”
