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

Vehicle Speed Control · reported Nov 8, 2026

On XXX, I was driving my 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid in stop-and-go traffic in [XXX]. While driving in traffic, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without my intention. I applied the brake pedal in an attempt to slow or stop, but the vehicle did not decelerate as expected. Despite my attempt to brake, the Mazda collided with the vehicle ahead of me, resulting in a multi-vehicle collision. Following the initial impact, my vehicle moved backward and struck another vehicle behind me. I experienced a forceful backward movement and felt as though I had been thrown backward. The airbags deployed. Police…

Electrical System · reported Nov 5, 2026

The vehicle experienced a total electrical blackout, refused to start for hours, and threw a U0115 (Lost Communication with ECM/PCM B) network code. I consider this an extreme safety hazard because a communication failure of this specific kind risks causing an unexpected engine shutdown or total loss of motive power while driving. This car only has 8,500 miles on it, so a problem this severe this early is extremely concerning!

Power Train · reported Oct 14, 2026

The rear differential makes a grinding, clicking noise when traveling at low speeds and especially when turning. After a fluid change the on the differential, a large amount of metal fragments were visible in the oil. Also causes rear wheel hop on sharp turns. This is a known issue amongst CX50 owners but Mazda refused to acknowledge an issue. The issue started for me around 40k miles. Just outside the warranty period.

Insert, Padding · reported Sep 8, 2026

My child is able to pull the pads off of the car seat. This is so unsafe and should not be allowed to happen. She is only [XXX] old. I am unable to resume the pass to the car seat. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Structure · reported Sep 2, 2026

The drivers side inside door handle has quit working twice. The dealer has temporarily fixed it both times, but advised us to "just be more gentle with the handle". The cable is falling off of the door hinge inside the door, and the dealer claims they don't have a way to permanently fix it. They just put it back on its mount. We are afraid that the driver will not be able to escape the vehicle in an emergency. Both instances have been under 10,000 miles. The door handle works perfectly fine until it doesn't work at all. No warning given.
