2025 MAZDA CX-50 Complaints

I brought my vehicle to Safford Mazda of Fredericksburg on Monday, December 15, 2025 due to a front-end clunking that occurs during left or right turns. A service representative test-drove the vehicle with me and was able to hear and duplicate the noise. Shortly afterward, I was informed that the front axle has internal damage and that the vehicle would need to be retained by the dealership for repair. I was told the necessary parts would not be available until sometime in February 2026. The dealership retained possession of the vehicle and arranged a loaner vehicle for my use. The service manager declined to provide written documentation stating that the car was unsafe to drive or describing potential consequences of continued operation. However, the vehicle was not released back to me pending the axle replacement. I have filed a complaint with Mazda Corporate, documenting the issue and the dealership's findings. A Mazda corporate case number is available if needed.

First time I noticed the crack on top passenger side of the windshield was on 9/12/25 while taking a break from work in my car. Car mileage on 9/12/25 was 1892 miles Upon inspection of windshield, I found out that crack was felt when I ran my fingernail on the inside, and when trying to feel the crack from the outside, windshield felt smooth and without any indication of cracking. I would like to attest that this vehicle has been kept in a garage since its purchase. I also would like to add that there has not been debris of any kind hitting the windshield while driving it, hence the crack being felt only from the inside. I have taken the car to the dealership today and I have an appointment for further inspection on 9/24/25

An indentation in the rear bumper may be noticed SAME AS sa035/22 BUT DEALER said is not applicable to my vehicle even when is the same deffect.

I was driving to Castle Rock, CO from Parkville, MO on [XXX] for vacation. I used the heated seat feature off and on during the trip. When I arrived in CO at my destination I noticed my thighs were hurting- stinging and hot. I checked my thighs and saw they were red and blisters were forming. I went to urgent care and I referred to the ER- I was given information about how to treat 2nd/3rd degree burns.

The rear hatch window shattered overnight while parked for no identifiable reason. There was no sign of a break-in or object that may have struck the window. Ring camera footage shows no one causing the damage.

On three separate occasions, while in reverse backing out of my driveway, the car failed to engage the transmission when shifting into drive, acting like it was in neutral. There were no warning lights or messages on the dashboard. The only way that I found to engage the transmission was to turn off the vehicle, turn back on, and move selector to drive. This is a safety issue as I've had cars approaching in both directions with the CX-50 behing immobilized and not able to move out of the roadway.

When using adaptive cruise control, during SOME cornering, SOMETIMES the car brakes unexpectedly, very aggressively, without warning. Very dangerous, especially when another car is behind you.

1) Driving on an expressway and the red warning light goes on - two red bars with a sterring wheel in the middle. Car sounded an alarm that indicated we were going to crash. No cars in front of us. 2) Driving on the expressway with the cruise control on. Driving 75 miles an hour and the vehicle goes to 30 miles an hour and I have to accelerate. Thank the Lord no one was behind me. This has happened 3 times. I took it into Mazda and tool them the issue but they just did their regular maintenance on my car. There is a major issue with this vehicle and nobody wants to admit Need your help

Due to a hybrid battery malfunction, full body sensor mlafunction and TPMS functionality error, vehicle left inoperable. Vehicle could not be placed in neutral. Vehicle could not be jump started.

I bought the car new from Mazda in December, 2024, and I am the original owner of the car. I backed out of a parking space. I shifted my gear to D, but the car kept sliding backward. I quickly shifted the gear back to P, pressed the parking brake, and turned off my engine. I had to restart my engine several times before the car will drive forward in D. This incident happened twice already.
