Wheels · reported Oct 28, 2026
The rear wheel well liner and mud guard on my Mazda CX-5 were becoming detached because the retaining clips have not stayed secured. During normal driving, the liner and the mud guard were separate from its mounting points and were hanged down near the tire. This creates a potential safety hazard because the loose liner and the mud guard may contact the tire while the vehicle is moving, which could damage the liner, affect vehicle handling, or create road debris. In addition, if the liner, the mud guard, or any portion of it becomes fully detached while driving, it could be projected into…
Seats · reported Oct 25, 2026
I am extremely concerned about the safety of the 2024 Mazda CX-5 due to the failure of the seat adjustment mechanism, which prevents the seat from moving forward or backward. This is a serious safety hazard, particularly for passengers who may be positioned dangerously close to the dashboard in the event of a collision. This is not a minor inconvenience; it is a potential life-threatening safety issue. Mazda and federal safety regulators must take these complaints seriously, investigate the problem, and determine whether a safety recall is necessary. With numerous complaints reportedly coming…

VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLETELY COMPROMISED BY UNEXPECTED ENGINE STALL IN TRAFFIC. For over one week, my 2024 Mazda CX-5 exhibited severe engine sputtering and erratic idle RPM fluctuations (RPMs surging high, then dropping dangerously low) while stopping. while completely stopped in a parking lot with the transmission engaged in DRIVE, the engine lost all propulsion and suffered a hard stall. The vehicle failed to automatically restart when my foot was removed from the brake pedal. This bypasses the parameters of the i-stop feature and represents a complete powertrain shutdown. I was forced to put…
