ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST MONTH, DURING KEY ON/STARTUP/INITIALIZATION, I WILL GET AN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL/AEB/LANE KEEPING SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULT IN THE CAMERA MODULE. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL STILL WORKS ABOVE 20 MPH INDICATING THAT THE FAILURE IS IN THE CAMERA MODULE. FAILURE IS LATCHED FOR THE KEY CYCLE AND BUT WILL RECOVER AFTER A LONG KEY CYCLE. 1ST TIME THE FAILURE SET, IT WAS VERY WARM OUT SO I BELIEVED THIS WAS DUE TO AN OVERHEAT. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE SET THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN A NORMAL RANGE SO MY HYPOTHESIS IS WRONG. NO UNUSUAL SITUATION IS OCCURRING AT STARTUP EXCEPT THE FAILURE. HAVE NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER YET.

Mazda USA - There’s been over 5 failures of my AC since before the car even hit a 5,000 mile mark. Mazda North America has a D- rating w/the Better Business Bureau & it shows! My complaints have gone one deaf ears and there’s a HUGE lack of accountability. https://youtu.be/83lV-29xz8s

Approximately 9:15am 5/16/21 I was driving on the road when my engine stalled and went out. Was stuck in the middle of the road for a couple of minutes while I tried to restart the car. My vehicle was recalled for this very purpose but 13 days prior I went into the dealership to fix the issue and get a software update. After said update I experienced the recall issue on my vehicle.

SITUATION: DRIVING UPHILL ON HWY 120 ON NEW PRIEST ROAD, BIG OAK FLAT, CA, TWO LANE MOUNTAIN ROAD. SLOW CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND A DELIVERY TRUCK TAILGATING. SLOW CAR EVENTUALLY MOVES ASIDE IN A TURNOUT AND I ACCELERATE TO OPEN UP SPACE BETWEEN MYSELF AND WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE THE TRUCK BUT SOMEHOW THE SLOW CAR RETURNED TO THE DRIVING LANE AHEAD OF THE TRUCK. I CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE TO ATTEMPT TO OPEN UP SPACE BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE CAR BEHIND ME WHEN I LOST POWER, THE CAR BEHIND ME MOVES TO THE OPPOSING TRAFFIC LANE TO AVOID REAR ENDING MY CAR THAT IS RUNNING IN DEGRADED MODE (ACCELERATOR HAS NO EFFECT, BASICALLY MOVING ON IDLE POWER) AND NARROWLY MISSES AN ONCOMING CAR AS I MOVE TOWARDS THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE RIGHT LANE. TRUCK BEHIND ME HAS TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER TO AT THAT LOCATION IMMEDIATE LOCATION. I PULL OVER A FEW HUNDRED YARDS FURTHER AT A SAFE LOCATION. GRADE WAS PERHAPS 4% TO 6%. WEATHER: HOT 90 DEGREES SPEED: ACCELERATING FROM 35 TO 50 MPH (GUESS) DIAGNOSTIC LIGHTS: SMART CITY BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING, PLUS A LOT OF OTHER WARNING LIGHTS LIT INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTERMATH: I PULLED SAFELY OVER, STOPPED THE ENGINE, WAITED A WHILE AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE CAR RETURNED TO IT'S NORMAL DRIVING BEHAVIOR AND COMPLETED MY TRIP. OTHER INFORMATION: THIS IS THE 3RD OCCURRENCE OF THIS BEHAVIOR. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD MAZDA LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. 1ST OCCURRENCE THEY REPLACED THE CYLINDER COIL, 2ND OCCURRENCE THEY REPLACED A SPARK PLUG FOR MISFIRE. 3RD OCCURRENCE, TO BE DETERMINED.

I PURCHASED THIS VIN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO, I WAS TOLD IT WAS CERTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP. IN LOOKING UP THE VIN ON WWW.NHTSA.GOV THIS AM, IT SAYS THE RECALL #3719F WAS NOT FIXED; THE DEALERSHIP JUST SENT ME A SCREEN SHOT FROM MAZDA NORTH AMERICA OPERATIONS WARRANTY VEHICLE INQUIRY REPORT, AND IT SHOWS THE REPAIR DONE. WHO DO I BELIEVE? THE VEHICLE IS AT MY HOME ON THE DRIVE WAY, STATIONARY. I'M ASKING THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK THE CAR UP, AND REFUND MY $100 DOLLARS. THEY WANT $400.00 MORE WHEN I GET PAID 2/25.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS RAINING. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SPINNING UNCONTROLLABLY. I WAS ADVISED I MOST LIKELY HYDROPLANED. THE VEHICLE FINALLY SLOWED DOWN AND BACKED INTO A GUARDRAIL. ONLY THE RIM OF THE DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE WAS DAMAGED. THE IMPACT FELT LIKE THE IMPACT FELT WHEN HITTING A CURB TOO HARD. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A SHOULDER, SO AFTER THE TIRE HIT THE GUARDRAIL, I MOVED TO THE CAR TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD TO BE ON THE SHOULDER. ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POLICE WERE AUTOMATICALLY CALLED. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND THE COLLISION SHOP CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I'M TERRIFIED THAT THE AIRBAGS CAN DEPLOY AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON. I AM ALSO TERRIFIED THAT THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SINCE THEY DEPLOYED AT LEAST 10-15 SECONDS AFTER THE IMPACT WITH THE GUARDRAIL OCCURRED.

MAZDA'S SOUL CRYSTAL RED PAINT ON MY CX-5 THAT HAS ONLY 12000 MILES AND IS GARAGED DAILY HAS 12 OR MORE CHIPS ON THE HOOD AND SEVERAL ON THE DOOR. THIS COLOR WAS A $700 DOLLAR OPTION AND THE PAINT IS INFERIOR IN QUALITY AND EASILY CHIPS. HAVE READ ON LINE OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER MAZDA OWNERS COMPLAIN OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR PAINT.

THE PAINT EASILY CHIPS DESPITE IT BEING A $1000 UPGRADED PAINT COLOR. WE WERE TOLD BY MULTIPLE MAZDA DEALERS THAT THE 7 STAGE PAINT MAKES IT SOFT AND EASY TO CHIP. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE STANDARD, ALL MAZDA PAINTS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS $1000 UPGRADE. I HAVE FILLED DOZENS OF THESE CHIPS AND APPEAR DAILY, IT IS EVIDENT BY THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ONLINE THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT DEFECT ON MAZDAS BEHALF.

I AM EXPERIENCING SUBSTANTIAL CHIPPING OF THE PAINT ON MY 2018 MAZDA CX-5. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR JUST UNDER 3 MONTHS AND UNDER 7000 MILES DRIVEN. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE PAINT IS NOT BONDED WITH THE METAL UNDERNEATH THE PAINT. OR THAT THE LAYERS OF PAINT ARE NOT BONDED. I HAVE HEARD OF MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING SAME OR VERY ISSUES WITH THE SOUL CRYSTAL RED PAINT MAZDA IS USING. IT NEEDS TO BE CLASSIFIED AS FAULTY PAINT AND HANDLED BY MAZDA ACCORDINGLY.

THE ENGINE IN MY MAZDA CX-5 WAS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED RECENTLY DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE CAR THAT CAUSES THE REAR HEAD TO LEAK. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON IT SO THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY DEALER EXPLAINED TO ME THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY MAZDA AND HE HAD SEEN 5-10 OTHER CARS JUST AT HIS DEALER. WE NOTICED THIS ISSUE WHEN MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WE SAW FLUID POURING OUT OF THE BOTTOM. WE HAD HIM STOP THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND NOT DRIVE. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET MAZDA TO ENGAGE TO PROVIDE A BETTER WARRANTY GIVEN IT IS A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE A BLOWN ENGINE WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT. I ASKED ABOUT WHY NO RECALL AND THEY JUST STATED THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER HIGHLIGHTED MAZDA IS AWARE OF A FLAW IN THE CAR THAT CAUSED THE REAR HEAD TO LEAK. I WOULD LIKE TO SEEK SOME ACTION WITH MAZDA TO MAKE THEM DEAL WITH THIS VERY CONCERNING ISSUE

MADE A SLOW RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING PLACE TO PICK UP MY DOGS AT THE GROOMER, WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP, THE CAR ACCELERATED LURCHING FORWARD. I THEN TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND REAPPLIED INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN THE CAR SPED UP AND WAS ONLY STOPPED WHEN I HIT A BRICK BUILDING. I HAD TWO DASH WARNINGS "FRONT CAMERA SENSOR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" AND "FORWARD SMART CITY BREAD SUPPORT MALFUNCTION" I AM NOT CERTAIN HOW FAST THE CAR WAS MOVING WHEN I HIT THE BUILDING BUT THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR IS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED. FURTHER THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE PHOTOS OF BOTH THE COLLISION DAMAGE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS. THE DEALERSHIP REQUESTED THEY RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG CLAIMING THE ACCIDENT WAS MY FAULT AS I MUST HAVE PUT MY FOOT ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS AT THE SAME TIME. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THE ALSO STATED THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT NOT THE CAUSE. I AM ONLY GRATEFUL I WAS NOT PULLING INTO A SPACE CLOSER TO THE DOOR AS I WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH A PLATE GLASS WINDOW AND MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY TO ANYONE STANDING IN THE LOBBY.

I WENT ONLINE TO CONTACT CLOSEST MAZDA DEALER WHICH 3 HOURS DRIVE ONE WAY, AND TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THEM FIX THE RECALLED PART FREE OF CHARGE. WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER , IT SHOWED ME THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS FOR THIS VIN NUMBER , WHICH IS NOT TRUE. I WAS RELIEVED FOR A MOMENT THINKING I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE THE LONG TRIP AFTER ALL, BUT THEN I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AGAIN AND MY CAR IS 100% PART OF THE RECALL. WWW.MAZDARECALLINFO.COM ALSO CONFIRMED THIS VIN NUMBER WAS PART OF A RECALL AND WHEN I CLICKED SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT IT TOOK ME AGAIN TO THEIR APPLICATION WHICH THEN AGAIN STATED MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF AN ACTIVE RECALL. I WENT AHEAD AND I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT REGARDLESS, BUT I DO THINK THIS IS BOTH MISLEADING AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE ONLINE SCHEDULING APP SEARCH AND STATE THERE IS NO RECALL. I TOOK A SCREEN SHOT, AS THIS IS MOST LIKELY IMPACTING A LOT OF FOLKS THAT TRY TO GET THEIR RECALLED PART FIXED WITH A MAZDA.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND THERE IS A CAR STOPPED IN FRONT, I WILL START TO BRAKE LIGHTLY AND THEN INCREASE BRAKING IF NEEDED. THREE TIMES THE CAR HAS STOPPED ITSELF WITH MAZDA'S "SMART CITY BRAKE" FEATURE. I HAD SPACE TO STOP IN TIME, BUT THE CAR'S SCB TAKES OVER AND VIOLENTLY BRAKES THE CAR TO A STOP AN INCREASES THE CHANCE OF A REAR END COLLISION FROM A CAR FOLLOWING ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I HAD CONTROL AND COULD STOP IN TIME AND THE VEHICLE'S ALGORITHM SAYS TOO CLOSE AND STOPS THE CAR VIOLENTLY, EVEN IF I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES ALREADY. UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE THE SCB FEATURE THIS SENSITIVE, AND SHOULD NOT BRAKE MORE IF THE DRIVER IS ALREADY APPLYING THE BRAKES.

THE SCBS (SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT) SYSTEM OVERREACTS TO OTHER VEHICLES AND FORCES MY VEHICLE TO STOP SUDDENLY (NOT SLOW DOWN) WHEN THERE IS SUFFICIENT DISTANCE FOR ME TO STOP OR THE VEHICLE IN FRONT IS TURNING AND NO THREAT. THIS OVERREACTION HAS NEARLY CAUSED FOUR ACCIDENTS IN WHICH THE SCBS FORCED THE CAR TO BRAKE AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME NEARLY HITTING MY CAR. RATHER THAN AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT, THE SYSTEM WILL CAUSES THEM IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE QUICK REACTIONS OF THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME.

THE CAR TRIES TO LUNGE FORWARD IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I ALWAYS KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN I COME TO AN INTERSECTION OR RED LIGHT SO IT HASN'T YET CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND THE FORCE OF THE BRAKING ACTION SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH TO KEEP IT FROM LUNGING FOR THE TIME BEING BUT YOU CAN FEEL IT TUGGING WANTING TO MOVE FORWARD. AN ENGINE LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON THE DASHBOARD ALONG WITH A TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A TRANSMISSION SENSOR BUT THE CAR STILL WANTS TO NUDGE FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 3500.

THE CAR HAS MULTIPLE PAINT CHIPS ON THE HOOD AND ALL THE SIDE PANELS INCLUDING ALL FOUR DOORS WITH LESS THAN 3500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT IS THE SOUL CRYSTAL RED COLOR. THE SMALL PEBBLES THAT HIT IT WERE SMALLER THAN THE EYE COULD SEE WHILE DRIVING. (TINY GRAVEL AT A HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION SITE) THE BODY SHOP THAT'S REPAIRING IT SAID THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THAT MUCH DAMAGE ON A CAR THAT NEW. IT'S COSTING MY INSURANCE COMPANY $4000 TO REPAIR. I CAN ONLY SPECULATE THAT THE PAINT MIGHT BE EXTREMELY THIN AND NOT ADHERING TO THE METAL AS IT SHOULD.
