Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car's collision warning engaged without cause. It makes the car brakes abruptly for no reason. This is especially dangerous during highway speed. It happened 3 times so far in the 4 months that I own the car. Some other owners also experienced this.”
NHTSA complaint #11233508, filed 2019-07, 3,278 miles“Jan. 23, 2020. 10:45 am. I was on my street, a narrow residential street, preparing to back in my garage. In order to do that on this narrow street, I touched the lip of the driveway across the street. Speed well under 3 MPH. When I did so, my car suddenly sharply accelerated and at the same time swerved to the right. The acceleration and swerve drove the car into the townhouses across the street from my house. The driveways are very short, barely a car's length. After crashing, I could feel the car still accelerating. …”
NHTSA complaint #11309582, filed 2020-02, 2,802 miles“Vehicle is 2 months old and the automatic emergency braking is going off in the middle of the street with no cars around. Today it went off in the middle of traffic and luckily the driver behind me was paying attention. I called the dealer to ask about servicing the recall and they said they did not have a solution. When I told them I almost got rear ended. Their response was thank goodness you didn't and if there was anything else they could help me with. Zero offers to help or concern for an obvious safety issue with this vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11300527, filed 2020-01, 1,300 miles“I driving uphill on a residential street. As I started to slow to turn the smart brake support flashed brake on my dash and immediately engaged the brakes and stopped the car. The road had a very slight curve with a few cars parked. There were no other moving vehicles in the area. If a car had been behind me it would have caused an accident. The system has given false warnings a lot but this was this first time that it stopped the car. I brought it to the dealership 2 days later and they tested the car and said it is working normally.”
NHTSA complaint #11342544, filed 2020-07, 7,300 miles“Radar cruise control malfunction and safety systems malfunction frequently. Safety systems completely disable without warning periodically while driving. Radar cruise control doesn't work randomly. Mazda dealership can't replicate the issue. Other 2019 Mazda 3 owners have the exact issue and no recall or fix has been issued.”
