2025 Mazda CX-30 problems

“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 20year 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…”

“The wiper settings cannot be adjusted every speed is high- (meaning, the wipers always go super fast) unless, its on auto. I dont alwaus want to use auto. My dealership tech now has "refused" to work with me anymore- or has encouraged me to find another dealership bc of all the random little things ive brought up aboht the car. Seems to frustrate him. Just 2 days ago- the car started leaking water thru the top of the liftgate when going through the car wash. (I do opt for touchless- btw)”

“On multiple occasions while driving in rain/snow/ice, the vehicle will initially throw an "i-ACTIVESENSE Partially Disabled Due to Camera Malfunction" error. This initially disables adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, blind spot detection, etc. This error immediately then cascades to throw a "Dynamic Stability Control Malfunction" error as well as an "ABS Malfunction" error, suggesting that both dynamic stability control and ABS are disabled. This issue has occurred roughly 50% of the time it rains/snows, and usually persists for 1-2 days even after fully clearing the windshield where the front camera system is located. This has caused me to have to drive the vehicle several times now in the rain and snow without ABS and dynamic stability control active -- this is a serious safety issue. It is understandable for a front camera malfunction to disable sensing features (like lane keeping), but this should not disable necessary safety features such as ABS and stability control. It is clear that there is a cascading sensor malfunction in this vehicle (possibly related to an earlier similar recall in 2024 models), that causes serious safety concerns.”

“I have been having repeated issues with the doors not autolocking, liftgate functionality, rear seat sensor, and random (collision?) warnings/sensors - among other settings that keep coming undone (audio options, etc) since the purchase of this car that I have been diligently notating/timestamping- i have close to 200 occurences so far. Just submitting another report to let you know it is STILL happening and IS NOT user error.”

“It seems like the computer has defaulted to receive the lowest possible gas mileage- if this is somehow communicating with the fuel system- its definitely affecting how much mileage I could be getting and robbing me of up to 100 miles per tank.”

“I wondered if, after my first service visit on 11-12-25, the dealership put regular leaded gas instead of premium in it, because there was a noticeable difference in gas mileage and the engine started revving pretty high, in my opinion. It also seemed to have less power (which was my main reason foe thinking the wrong gas had been out in). And since then, it hasn't been the same.”
