Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car is experiencing sticky steering during wide sweeping left turns that are long duration at a moderate speed (like highway on-ramps or intersections). Steering sticks when re-centering the wheel after the turn. I would describe it as a brief stuck feeling mid-drive where extra effort is needed to get out of turn. It has been happening since 02/2024.”
NHTSA complaint #11740731, filed 2026-05“When driving at highway speeds, steering wheel locks in leftward position. I cannot manually move the steering wheel at this time for around 15 seconds. It happens unexpectedly and is a safety hazard. I brought it to Mazda dealership and they did not fix it. They performed an airbag clockspring replacement and this has not fixed the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11735033, filed 2026-05“The steering wheel keeps sticking when turning left or right. It does not matter what speed you are going. I almost hit a car due to this. The previous steering recall has been performed without fixing the issue. I took the car to Mazda in Corpus Christi, TX and they claim they can not find an issue. I can repeat the issue l even parked.”
NHTSA complaint #11715993, filed 2026-02“When I’m going around the corner, the steering feels sort of sticky and either won’t stay in one place or feels a little bit stuck in one place. It sometimes feels like someone else is making micro adjustments to the steering as I’m holding the steering wheel. This has been happening for about the last 10,000 miles on the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11715953, filed 2026-02“There is momentary increase in steering effort during the drive cycle in model year (MY) 2024 Mazda CX-90 vehicle. Sometimes, I have to push too hard when turning the steering back from a turn. This problem was initially fixed on my vehicle by a recall campaign(24V-022 ) in 2024, but the issue has now reappeared.”
