Service Brakes · reported Nov 9, 2026

I am reporting multiple serious safety-related mechanical failures involving my 2024 Mazda CX-30, all occurring while the vehicle was covered under Mazdaâs manufacturerâs warranty. At approximately 8,000 miles, my vehicle developed seized brake calipers. Despite bringing the vehicle to an authorized Mazda dealership multiple times, my concerns were initially dismissed. I continued operating the vehicle for thousands of miles before the brake calipers, rotors, and pads were replaced. This raises serious concerns regarding braking performance and the safety of myself and other motorists. On…

Electrical System · at 10,000 miles · reported Oct 29, 2026

The contact owns a 2024 Mazda CX-30. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle experienced unintended braking. During the failure, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted to first gear with a red circular warning light illuminated on the instrument panel with an audible chime. The contact stated that the "Smart Brake Support" feature could prevent the failure from occurring; however, the setting could not be saved and had to be manually disengaged. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

Electrical System · reported Oct 19, 2026

Since purchasing the vehicle, the braking system has activated on its own for no reason. Today, Oct 19, 2026, it was cold and it said the system was failing. My camera system fails when it rains. My 2024 Mazda CX-30 has 62,000 miles and is experiencing the exact catastrophic phantom braking and forward camera failures detailed in NHTSA Recall 24V649000 (Mazda Campaign 6824H). My VIN is currently excluded from the recall campaign, but the vehicle is a severe highway safety hazard due to spontaneous unprovoked braking

Air Bags · reported Oct 16, 2026

Airbags did not deploy, sensors keep going off, car keeps over heating even before accident did take it in to Mazda to be fixed two months prior.

Power Train · reported Sep 9, 2026

The vehicle is experiencing premature transmission failure, since about 9,000 miles. Mazda has been dropping the ball at replacing it under warranty and we found out there are 3 other CX-30s that I know of with similar issues. I believe Mazda has a faulty transmission in these cars based off my findings and other complaints.
