Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Nov 10, 2026
My son made a left hand turn and travelled approximately 40 feet at 20 mph when his car stopped suddenly. The Smart Break System (SBS) came on unprovoked and without any warning, causing the car to come to a complete stop and jolting my son's head and neck. Prior to this happening, no alarms sounded and no visuals appeared on the dashboard screen or on side mirrors. Fortunately, no cars were behind or he would have been rear-ended with serious injuries. On the street that this occurred, there were parked cars to the right but the his Mazda was not in close proximity to them. The car was…
Unknown or Other · reported Sep 16, 2026
Abrupt acceleration while pushing the gas pedal, erratic tachometer. Stays at the same speed for a while when gas is pushed at highway speeds then accelerates abruptly. Vibration and noise during park. During highway driving, merging and passing got risky. Bought the brand new car on 7 September, immediately followed by these issues, got the car towed to the dealership on 10 September. Still in service who confirmed most of the issues were reproduced. No warnings in the console. Today is 16th. The last time I was contacted by the service was 11th. Was not given a timeline.
Electrical System · reported Aug 26, 2026
I am reporting a severe electrical fire and system failure hazard resulting from unauthorized, dealership-installed aftermarket wiring modifications on a brand new 2026 Mazda CX-30. âAt the point of sale, Walker's Renton Mazda ([XXX]) spliced invasive, unauthorized aftermarket tracking/security wiring (suspected LoJack or similar) directly into the factory CAN-bus and main wiring harnesses. These modifications were done without consent, actively concealed during the pre-purchase inspection, and compromise the integrity of the vehicle's primary electrical architecture. âSpecifically, the…
Exterior Lighting · reported Aug 20, 2026
The high beams would turn on by themselves, and no matter what I did, they wouldn't turn off. Each time the high beams turned on, I would have to fiddle with the control stick for a few minutes until the high beams turned off. Sometimes they would turn off for a second and then just turn back on. This is dangerous as it can blind other drivers. This has happened ever since I bought the car a few month ago. On August 11th the control stick broke off while I was trying to turn off the high beams. Now I have no control over the turn signals or the lights. I brought it to the dealer, but they…
Vehicle Speed Control · reported Aug 16, 2026
I was driving my 2026 Mazda CX-30 in a parking lot and was pulling into a parking space at a very low speed. I lightly pressed the accelerator to move the car forward, but the car suddenly surged forward much faster than I intended or expected based on how lightly I had pressed the pedal. The sudden acceleration resulted in a collision and property damage. There were no warning lights, warning messages, or other dashboard alerts before or at the time of the incident. I do not know what specifically caused the car to accelerate this way. I am concerned that there may have been an issue with the…
