“While traveling in the left lane on a 2 lane interstate, 79S, the car suddenly braked as I passed a truck in the right lane entering a curve. The apply brake now emergency message also flashed on the display. Had a vehicle been closely following behind, it would have crashed into my rear”
NHTSA complaint #11553428, filed 2023-11“Drive on freeway with Mazda Radar Cruise Control engaged. When the road curves slightly, the radar picks up the car in the right lane next to me as a car in front of me and slams the brakes. It’s a dangerous situation when the traffic is moving at least 65 miles per hour.”
NHTSA complaint #11551932, filed 2023-10“My car senses a vehicle in a lane to the left or right of me as a vehicle in my lane and slams on the breaks. There is a recall on this with Mazda, but not for my manufacturing date yet. It's very dangerous. Occurs all of the time”
NHTSA complaint #11592158, filed 2024-06“The vehicle incorrectly sensed a large truck in the right lane, next to the lane I was in, as being in my lane causing the vehicle to slam on the brakes and caused me to nearly get rear ended by following vehicle. Other vehicle had no notice, as my lane was completely clear. Further testing on my part found that numerous vehicles had incorrect lane placement on the provided graphical display. Dealer says everything checks out normal. This is a major safety issue for me.”
NHTSA complaint #11553904, filed 2023-11“I am reporting a safety problem with the adaptive cruise control feature of my 2023 Mazda CX-90. The adaptive cruise control system does not detect the lanes correctly and applies the brakes unnecessarily, even when there are no cars in front of me. This happens especially on curves and when there are trucks on other lanes. This is very dangerous and I have been close to be rear-ended several times. I do not feel safe driving this car with this feature on. I haven't contacted my dealer, but it seems to be a well known issue for many owners. …”
