Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On March 14, 2026, I was attempting to turn left into a parking stall within a busy shopping center lot when my vehicle suddenly accelerated unexpectedly. I lost all control of both the steering and the braking systems. This resulted in my vehicle striking a parked car to my left, jumping a cemented planter border, and coming to rest in the adjacent parking stall. Fortunately, the other vehicle was unoccupied, and both my passenger and I were uninjured. …”
NHTSA complaint #11724641, filed 2026-03“The car automatically brakes at lower speeds. This happens about 3x week and typically on a specific freeway entrances but in other locations as well. I believe this is a known phantom braking issue but for some reason my car is not included in the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11688747, filed 2025-09“I was stopped by a railroad crossing and when I started driving, my automatic emergency braking activated and jerked to a stop. This happened two consecutive days in a row. Gratefully no one was behind me, or they would have rear ended my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11698538, filed 2025-11“My 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV has experienced multiple incidents of sudden, uncommanded hard braking when there was no visible obstacle or danger in front of the vehicle. The most serious incident occurred on September 4, 2026, during rush hour traffic. The vehicle beeped, a warning that said BRAKE!! appeared on the dash, and abruptly braked without driver input, creating a significant rear-end collision risk. My dog was thrown from the back seat as a result of the braking. Another unexpected braking incident occurred the following morning when I was backing out of my driveway. …”
NHTSA complaint #11768608, filed 2026-10“There is an intermittent issue where the dashboard will indicate that the rear side radar is obscured and turn off all the safety features of the car. This happens typically on a clear day when there should be no issues. Turning off the car resets this. Its unsettling because as there are quite a few blind spots in this vehicle you are dependent on the blind spot warning, especially in heavy traffic. Reported it to dealer but they indicated since its intermittent there isn't much they can do. Ridiculous for a new $45k vehicle”
