Recent 2024 Mazda CX-50 complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Service Brakes · reported Nov 10, 2026
The front brake pads on my 2024 Mazda CX-50 2.5 Turbo AWD wore down to 4 mm at only 16,739 miles. The brakes had been squealing, and I recorded videos of the noise. A Mazda dealership confirmed the 4 mm pad thickness during an inspection on 10/20/2026 and recommended replacing the front pads and resurfacing the rotors. Mazda has issued Technical Service Bulletin 04-001/26, "Front Inner Brake Pad Premature Wear," for this condition on 2023-2025 CX-50s built before April 26, 2025. The bulletin says dirt and sand can stick to the inner friction surface of the disc and cause the front inner pads…
Engine · reported Nov 6, 2026
Bought this car in May 2026 with about 15k miles. Today November 6th 2026 at the dealership I was told that the belt tensioner was loose. Searching online it looks like a widely known issue that Mazda apparently has known but has not fixed. This should not happen on a car with 18k miles. If the belt fails while driving it can put everyone in the car and around it in physical danger. Please look into this. In all fairness CardinaleWay Mazda is fixing the issue under warrenty, but the bigger issue is safety.
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Oct 15, 2026
Front license plate in OEM factory location interferes with forward radar sensor, causing phantom automatic emergency braking events in moving traffic. Vehicle came to complete stop in active traffic lanes on multiple occasions, creating severe collision risk. Removing the plate (in violation of California law) restored normal sensor function.

The vehicle initially began displaying false collision and braking warnings despite there being no apparent hazard or obstruction. These warnings occurred repeatedly and eventually progressed to incidents in which the vehicle activated its automatic emergency braking system without…
Tires · reported Sep 11, 2026
Component Failed & Availability: Goodyear tire structure/tread separation and delamination across all four tires; technician states delamination, belt separation on all four tires, structural failure, tire separating from the internal belt structure (steel belts showing, chunks of tread missing); available for inspection.
