MAZDA Complaints

Car has 5000 miles on it. Numerous issues with car. Unsafe steering. Dealer not able to repair steering until Mazda provides parts for recall. Now on the highway with a medium depressed foot pedal the car speeds up on its own. Happened 2 times so far. Brakes had to be applied to slow car down. It was very brief because I immediately stepped on the brake, but it was definitely an uncommanded acceleration. Both times I did NOT have cruise control on. Definitely not safe.

There is a plastic ring on top of the gas tank that holds down the fuel pump.I filled up my tank and looked under the car afterwards,at this time I noticed gas coming out from the tank until is was flushed with the top and then stopped.I pulled out the back seat,found the inspection plate and for sure this was and did happen,now nothing could be done at the time because the inspection plat hole was smaller than the ring,the tank had to be dropped.It had to be fixed,about $600.00 later and tank filled up it was repaired.I still have the ring and pictures where the ring was cracked around the threads.send me a e-mail address and I can send pictures and a copy of the bill.later on I went on line and discovered that I was not the only one.This happen about 2 years back.

Purchased the vehicle, brought it to our mechanic. Was told that the rear subframe was completely rusted, making it unsafe to drive.

A distorted or flickering rearview camera image while reversing could affect driver judgment, increasing the risk of a crash

Low oil level indicator came on at roughly 55,000 miles only about 3000 miles after last oil change. Car was immediately stopped and towed to the nearest Mazda dealer. Dealership confirmed oil level was low. Car appears to me consuming excess oil. Oil consumption test pending.

Shown engine light on dashboard and Car was struggling to run while pressing the gas, took to the mazda dealership and they told low pressure and high pressure fuel pump needs to be replaced.

ENGINE HEAD HAS CRACK ON IT, CAUSING OIL TO LEAK OUT AND BURN AND SMOKE. IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE ENGINE/CRACK, MANIFOLD NEED TO BE REMOVED. LEAKAGE IS IN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. THIS MUST BE MANUFACTURED DEFECT. MY MAZDA HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILE ON IT. UNFORTUNATELY WARRANTLY IS NO LONGER VALID. UNLESS A RECALLED IS ISSUE, A REPAIR WILL BE FREE OF CHARGE TO CURRENT OWNER. OTHER WISE OPERATOR HAS TO CONSTANTLY KEEP ADDING OIL.

The contact owns a 2023 Mazda CX-50. The contact stated that while in a parking lot, the steering wheel was moving to the left and the right. The contact stated that the wheel was wobbling. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering wheel bolt was loosened. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 75,500.

The lighting system on the 2018 Mazda cx-5 base sport model has it so that during the daytime, the low beams continuously run. This and the continuously lighted dashboard make it hard to tell when you need to turn on the headlight/tail lights, since the headlights are always on. These arent even side drls, they are full low-beam lights. I've seen many Mazda cx-5 base models that do not have auto headlights drive around with there without any taillight and makes it dangerous for traffic behind to see the vehicle. Additionally, when others borrow the car, they always never turn on the headlight because there is no indication that anything needed to be turned on unlike older cars where the dashboard is fully black when the headlight/taillight is off.
