“We have had Multiple I-Sense(safety system).It will shutdown whwnever it feels like it no matter the weather.We have had at Mazda 7 times and they have applied several programming updates withouit success. We have also have Apple wireless airplay for directions and phone failure 100's of times and have had it Mazda fro the same 7 times to fix to no avail”
NHTSA complaint #11666798, filed 2025-06“In tighter corners the car coasts/brakes unnecessarily while cruise is on. Seems like a safety feature possibly or a malfunction as I haven't had that on any other cruise controls on other vehicles. Then after the corner it accelerates. I find very annoying. If this is considered a safety feature then ok but it is way to sensitive currently and needs an update.”
NHTSA complaint #11564261, filed 2024-01“When driving on the highway next to a large truck or semi and on a curve, the adaptive cruise control thinks that there’s a vehicle in front of you and slams on the brakes. This has happened a few times with my vehicle. Thankfully, there were no vehicles immediately behind me, or the results could’ve been tragic.”
NHTSA complaint #11567288, filed 2024-01“My car detects a vehicle in front and slows down in the following scenario - when on cruise control and passing a big truck from the other lane and the road is bent toward the right or left. It's so annoying and I might get rear-ended one day as the vehicle behind me doesn't expect that I slow down. Very dangerous safety issue!”
NHTSA complaint #11554002, filed 2023-11“Using the adaptive cruise control in I-64, the car will dangerously slow down/brake in the turns. If someone was following m, this slow down would have been unexpected, and could have rear ended us or lost control trying to avoid us. Unexpected slowdowns are dangerous. Not sure if this happens at lower speeds on side triads since I don’t use the cruise control on those roads.”
