2025 MAZDA CX-30 Complaints
I am writing regarding my 2025 Mazda CX-30, purchased brand new with 0 miles on [XXX]. The vehicle currently has 22,000 miles. I am extremely concerned about the reliability and, most importantly, the SAFETY of this vehicle. August 29, 2025: I brought the vehicle to the dealership after receiving a recall notice. My service slip states only “performed Software update,” with no details regarding the recall. Refers something about the engine being left on over 2 hours will loose power. Mileage was 9,650. [XXX]: The check engine light came on. I was told the vehicle was leaking oil and that it was not a major concern per a 20+year old technician. The dealership replaced the REP Tensioner Belt. [XXX]: While driving on [XXX] on my way to [XXX], my vehicle SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. This was an EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY INCIDENT. Thankfully, I had not yet entered [XXX] and was not hit by another vehicle. Had my vehicle suddenly died after entering [XXX], I truly believe the outcome could have been catastrophic or fatal. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE! I cannot trust a vehicle that unexpectedly loses power and dies while being operated. This incident has completely destroyed my confidence in the safety and reliability of my Mazda. I am formally requesting that Mazda immediately open and begin the Florida Lemon Law/warranty process, thoroughly investigate the cause of this dangerous loss of power, and provide me with a written explanation of what caused the vehicle to die and whether it is safe to operate. Please treat this as an URGENT SAFETY CONCERN and provide an immediate response. Thank you.
