Plastic trim pieces emblems are melting. Dealer replaced the first two trim pieces and said they would not cover remaining pieces if they melted. I feel all the plastic parts are melting on this vehicle and it is a 2025. This should not be happening. What can be done? First piece was window pillar trim drivers side on May 14, 2025 and the second piece was the In-Line 6 emblem front panel drivers side July 3, 2025. Each time outside temperature was 90 degrees. Inferior plastic melting should not be the consumers responsibility to repair.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
As I was stopped on [XXX] waiting to turn left onto [XXX] , another vehicle struck mine from the rear, at approximately 50mph. The seat belt did not immediately lock, compromising my safety. I slid upward, partially out of the seat belt striking my head on the headliner and the belt caused a large bruise on my upper left arm. Additionally, the air bags did not deploy, but a spray of chemical came out onto me from the dash. The chemical sprayed onto the right side of my neck and collar bone, leaving a burning sensation. A week after this wreck, all the skin that was contacted by the spray, began peeling off, like a sunburn peel does. After this wreck, a warning notice appeared on my dash screen, stating AIRBAG FAILURE, in red lettering. There were no failure notices prior to this wreck. It’s unknown if any inspection of these two failures was done by my insurance adjusters, the manufacturer, the police or a dealership. There has been no known reproduction of these failures I am aware of. The vehicle is expected to be a total loss, but I am still waiting for that determination. The vehicle is still at the repair facility, Caliber Collision in Carbondale, IL, as of 7-1-2025. I have reported these failures to my insurance representative, the manufacturer, the repair facility and the dealership.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
This has been happening for over 6 months but it's getting worse. When moving at a lower speed, 10-20 mph, the motor or transmission is jerky and sluggish. This makes it very slow to move when pulling out from red lights or when in stop and go traffic on the highway. (Might as well be pulling out from the light in an 18 Wheeler.) I haven't taken to the dealer because from my experience, unless there is a code to look up, it's just money (and time) wasted. No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No warning or messages have been displayed, no other symptoms to report. One more thing, after driving for hours and getting back to the office. With the vehicle in Park, the rear passenger removes their seat belt and the driver removes their seat belt, the seat belt warning message displays. Now I could understand this if the vehicle was placed in Drive or reverse, but in Park? Really? Also note, in the mornings, the vehicle can sit and idle for over an hour and if the rear passenger doesn't have their seat on and you put it into Drive nothing happens, no messages or warnings at all. What if you had a kid in the back seat or something? Make it make sense.

SERVICE BRAKES
Vehicle has been squealing countlessly when braking about 1 to 2 days after leaving the dealership in September 2024 up until current. The vehicle has been out of commission for more than 15 days while attempts to repair the issue at local Mazda dealerships. On the last attempt to correct the issue, Ferman Mazda dealership in Brandon FL performed some sort of shaving of brake component to ensure this would not continue; however, the noise continues and this also may increase the safety risk now.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My auto flashed an Engine Malfunction error then lost power. I had to pull over immediately. Would not restart. Unsafe road with no shoulder in a no passing two lane road. Towed to dealer. They told me gas tank sensors failed. Resolution is a new gas tank. This could have been much worse had there been a car behind me, had children in car, been on a highway etc. The auto did not show any signs of issue until the warning light that appeared as the auto lost power. The auto is at the dealership where it will remain until new part comes in. I was told there has been an influx of this part being requested and it could be 2 months before one is available. Very dangerous. Mazda road side assistance sent tow truck.all communication with dealer has been via phone except for text letting me know the auto arrived there.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
The i-Active safety sense system in the vehicle shuts off in moderate rain. I believe it to be far too sensitive. the system complains that it cannot see the road and vehicles with the camera system. Inclement weather is when I need the i-Active safety sense the more. Earlier this week on my way to work, it disabled itself in very light rainy conditions. I had no trouble seeing but the system did. When this happens cruise control is completely disabled. I reported this to the dealer but they shrugged their shoulders. No one seems to test these systems in less than perfect weather. There are warning on the dash saying that i-Active safety sense is disabled.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Involuntary acceleration. Twice now at very low speeds between 1-5 mph the engine revs up and the car lurches forward for a second or two. Was pulling into house garage and was about to push acceleration pedal when the engine revved on its own and jolted the car forward. I slammed on the brakes real quickly when it happened and slid to a stop almost a foot away from crashing into house wall. I don't know for sure but I feel if I hadn't pushed the brakes it would have continued. Has happened one other time to a different driver, same car. Aside from possibly sending me crashing through my house I live next to a school and children and families are walking across the crosswalks all the time. If it were to happen when someone was in front of me I'm scared of what would happen, or even just parking at the grocery store I could easily slam into the car in the next spot. There were no warning /safety lights or any error lights on the dashboard before or when this happened. Not sure what caused it so I checked multiple boxes of what I think it could possibly be. Mazda has a recall out but I checked my vin and so far it's not registering a recall. My technician at the dealership is off today but I will call back tomorrow and talk to him about the incident.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Often, when I drive on highways, I find that the blind spot indicator turns on when there are no cars around. It creates unnecessary panic and confusion during long road trips, increasing driver's stress and anxiety.
