ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEATSJul 2026

This is the 2nd time I’m reporting that I was severely burnt on my thigh from my drivers seat heater, overheating. There are on going glass action law suits against Mazda for this issue. My 2024 CX-50 has not been in service at Olympia Mazda with no updates on repairs and when I will get my car back. Please help me!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMJul 2026

I'm curious how many other Mazda owners are dealing with the same battery drain issue. I'm now on my third battery since 2024: Factory battery replaced under warranty in 2025. Second replacement purchased in March 2026. Within a month, the "Battery Low - Drive Vehicle to Recharge" warning was back. The dealer kept my vehicle for four days to monitor it, but they couldn't find anything abnormal. This started long before I had a dashcam professionally installed, so that's not the cause. I've read numerous posts on Facebook from other owners mentioning: A door module that can get wet after heavy rain and cause a parasitic battery drain. The key fob constantly communicating with the vehicle when it's within about 20 feet, potentially contributing to battery drain. I mentioned the door module issue to my dealer, but they said they had never heard of it. At this point, it's becoming incredibly frustrating. A modern vehicle shouldn't be going through batteries like this, especially when the dealer can't identify the root cause. I started to document the times that my dashboard warning pops up that the battery is low.

CrashELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKESJul 2026

Driver of the vehicle was parking the vehicle in a parking lot, foot nowhere near the accelerator when the car suddenly surged forward striking a parking pole.. The driver side front quarter panel took on heavy damage along with the sensors.. Car had to be towed... It accelerated by itself...

I was attempting to mount my bike rack. To get the clips to properly fit I needed to partially open the liftgate. Upon triggering the door release the power liftgate and began opening the door. The anti pinch system did not detect the pinch and it crumpled the roof and liftgate at the seam. I tried to stop it but there was too much pressure and by the time it stopped lifting under my body weight significant damage had occurred. If a finger had been there it would have been chopped off.

POWER TRAINMar 2026

On 02/27/2026, a 2024 Mazda CX-50 (20700 miles) exhibited a severe burning smell following a 3-hour highway drive and a subsequent steep, 2-mile mountain climb to a restaurant in Jasper, TN. The smell was strongly observed by multiple occupants upon exiting the vehicle. On 03/02/2026, a technician at Mazda of Knoxville confirmed via video a 'flat grease ring' slung onto the undercarriage, indicative of a centrifugal lubricant leak from the driveshaft/CV assembly. The proximity of this flammable grease to the hot exhaust system during high-torque operation (mountain climbing) presents a critical fire hazard. Despite visual confirmation of the slinging grease, the dealership issued a blank service invoice, omitting the defect from the official record and returning the vehicle in an unsafe condition. This represents a documented safety defect being suppressed by the manufacturer, posing an unreasonable risk of vehicle fire or catastrophic driveline failure.

The vehicle had the original OEM battery fail at 15 months. It dropped to 7v under light load. It's a bad battery. Upon being jump started, the power steering went in and out while driving and the dashboard blinked on and off...throwing a lot of errors that are unrelated to the battery problem. The failure state of the vehicle with a bad battery is unlike any vehicle I have ever seen and it is extremely dangerous. Furthermore, Mazda roadside assistance does not know about this issue and only offers jumpstarts, putting customers into danger by suggesting that the vehicle is safe to drive with a battery that is not stable.

VISIBILITY/WIPERMar 2025

This update pertains to the original complaint (11613144) regarding windshield integrity issues on a 2024 Mazda CX-50. A new crack has occurred on [XXX], with cracks consistently radiating from the driver's A-pillar side. This pattern suggests stress fractures rather than impact damage, as initially assumed. The vehicle was taken to a Mazda dealer in Seekonk, MA, but the Mazda Service Manager denied warranty coverage without an in-person inspection, relying solely on photos taken by a trainee service advisor. These images clearly show a recurring pattern of cracks in the same area, which is concerning. Research into Mazda forums reveals numerous reports from other owners experiencing similar windshield failures, including unexpected cracking, chipping, waviness, visibility issues, and delamination. Many report quick denials of warranty assistance, similar to this case. The frequency and similarity of these reports suggest a potentially systemic issue that may be more widespread than the recent hitch recall. The manufacturer's reluctance to investigate raises serious concerns about windshield safety. After three cracks and two replacements, Mazda has not physically inspected the issue. This situation warrants a thorough investigation by NHTSA, including major glass providers and installers, to ensure occupant safety and address potential systemic failures. The lack of proper reporting and inspection by Mazda underscores the need for NHTSA intervention to protect consumers and ensure that safety standards are met. Furthermore, the consistent denial of warranty claims without adequate inspection may indicate a broader problem in how these issues are handled, potentially affecting many more vehicles than reported. This pattern of failures and lack of action by Mazda necessitates a comprehensive review to safeguard public safety.

Collision Prevention System is dangerous. I was nearly rear ended going 75 mph on the PA Turnpike. I was passing a truck that was in the right hand lane when all of a sudden the brakes automatically engaged hard and I nearly was rear ended by another vehicle that was right behind me. It braked so hard it made the tires squeal. I contacted two dealerships and told them what happened and both told me there haven't been any problems with the system that they were aware of and maybe a software update would help. Neither dealership checked if a update in fact was available. I turned the system off and will never turn it back on because it is so dangerous!

Fuel issues P0460 fuel level sensor circuit. Engine malfunction light comes on with fuel sensor issue. The car is full of fuel or not even close to be empty but the sensor reads off triggering a chain of event. Killing car mid of the highway when it got enough fuel. Average full tank ranges 280mi, this instance it only drove 202mi and the sensor reads 14mi to go with quarter Guage left in the tank. Then the needles drops by a notch. I can't upload the video but attached at the screenshot. Contacted dealer and they won't diagnos till 90days out. This is safety hazard and the car comes to halt in the mid of the drive. Where it's highway, parking lot, or anywhere; as if it's out of gas but the tank still good. Wait for few minutes and restart the car the garage read normal. The dealer doesnt want to listen or even consider this as safety issue. Multiple dealer reject to even make an appointment and request that I go to the dealer I purchased the car from.

The basics

How to read this data

Complaints, recalls, investigations — here’s what each number actually tells you about a used Mazda CX 50, in plain English.

01

What is an NHTSA Complaint?

An NHTSA safety complaint is a report filed directly by a vehicle owner or driver describing a safety-related issue. Anyone can submit a complaint at NHTSA.gov. The number of complaints is a signal of how common a problem is — but complaints per model-year matter more than raw totals, since popular vehicles naturally receive more reports. The Mazda CX 50 has 159 complaints on record across 4 model years.

02

What is a Safety Recall?

A safety recall is a mandatory campaign issued by NHTSA when a vehicle component poses an unreasonable risk to safety or does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards. Unlike complaints (which are owner-reported), recalls are formally investigated and confirmed by regulators. Manufacturers must fix recalled vehicles free of charge. The Mazda CX 50 has 7 recall campaigns in the NHTSA database.

03

What Are Crash Complaints?

Crash complaints are NHTSA filings where the owner indicates a crash occurred as part of the incident. 17 of the Mazda CX 50's 159 complaints involved a crash. This metric is particularly important because it indicates how often defects resulted in actual collisions — a key safety signal beyond general reliability.

04

How Is the Reliability Verdict Calculated?

The reliability verdict (Poor) is generated by analyzing the vehicle's total complaints, recall history, crash complaint ratio, fire complaint ratio, and top component failures relative to class averages. This verdict gives buyers a quick interpretation before they review year-level details and VIN-level history. It should be treated as one decision input, not a substitute for a VIN-specific report.

05

Why Do Newer Years Have Fewer Complaints?

Newer model years appear to have fewer complaints because there has been less time for owners to file them. Complaints accumulate over years of ownership. A 2020 model year vehicle will typically show fewer complaints than a 2015 model year even if it is less reliable — simply because fewer owners have had time to report issues. Focus on complaints per year of market presence when comparing across model years.

06

Fleet Data vs. Individual VIN

Everything on this page reflects aggregated data across all Mazda CX 50 vehicles on the road — not any specific car. Two Mazda CX 50 vehicles of the same year can have very different histories: one may have been in three accidents and have an open recall; another may be clean. A VIN check gives you the individual car's history: accidents, title brands, odometer records, service history, and real-time recall status.

07

What Are NHTSA Investigations?

When NHTSA receives a pattern of related safety complaints, it opens a formal investigation. A Preliminary Evaluation (PE) is the first stage — NHTSA determines if a safety defect may exist. If evidence is strong, it escalates to an Engineering Analysis (EA), which can result in a mandatory recall. The Mazda CX 50 has 0 investigations on record (0 active). Investigations listed above may have already led to the recalls shown on this page.
