STEERING
In October 2023 I began to notice that the steering was not working properly. When driving I would notice that the steering would stick and require more force to turn. It would click while turning. I brought it to the tully mazda (nashua NH) who told me that others were experiencing the same but that there was no fix for this yet. On 12/27/23 I again notified tully of this issue and there was no fix for it. On 2/9/2024 I discussed again with tully who advised me that there was a recall to be announced shortly. They did not tell me that there was a safety issue driving the vehicle. On [XXX] while making a left turn (there are two side-by-side turn lanes and I was in the inside/left) i completed my turn and while straightening out the wheel the vehicle overcorrected hitting the vehicle to my immediate right. I have approx $5000 in damage but there were no bodily injuries. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
Car has 5000 miles on it. Numerous issues with car. Unsafe steering. Dealer not able to repair steering until Mazda provides parts for recall. Now on the highway with a medium depressed foot pedal the car speeds up on its own. Happened 2 times so far. Brakes had to be applied to slow car down. It was very brief because I immediately stepped on the brake, but it was definitely an uncommanded acceleration. Both times I did NOT have cruise control on. Definitely not safe.

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle's parking "gear" would not engage. Further, the emergency brake would not engage. Puts all in proximity to the vehicle at risk due to the vehicle rolling into or onto them and damaging personal property. Dealership service department could not recreate the the parking "gear" issue, but were able to recreate the emergency brake not engaging. Vehicle has been inspected by Macdonald Mazda West representatives.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE, BACK OVER PREVENTION, LANE DEPARTURE
The contact owns a 2024 Mazda CX-90. The contact stated while driving the same day the vehicle was purchased, the message "Telematics Malfunction" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the message was cleared; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V718000 (Back Over Prevention, Forward Collision Avoidance, Lane Departure). The contact stated that while driving, the images of the front-view, side-view, and rear-view cameras failed to appear on the center display intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the dealer determined that the view monitor control module software needed to be updated; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,500. Parts distribution disconnect.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
The major issue that happened to our newly purchased CX 90 last February 3 with more than 500 miles on it started around 5:30 pm of February 8, while my wife is driving this vehicle with my daughter, all of a sudden the car stopped at the middle of the road with warning signs popping up in the dash screen like I-active sense malfunction, hybrid battery malfunction, engine malfunction light on, and on top of these, critical vehicle malfunction. The car won't start and disabled. Also, the vehicle cannot switch to neutral gear to push/pull the vehicle to the side that made the vehicle blocking the roadway until the tow truck came in. My wife and daughter's life was put in danger when this vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of the road with cars passing by on both ways. I also found out based on the NHTSA vehicle safety, Mazda recall website, carfax and Kelly blue book, that this particular vehicle with its VIN has a SAFETY RECALL due to its steering issue that may increase risk for crash. This was not disclosed to us when we are on the process purchasing this vehicle and they did state inspection and passed it that made we doubt how did it happened.. The vehicle is now with the dealership repair shop and the last update I receive was the technician is still checking on it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On 02/07/2024, malfunction prompts displayed on my dash relating to I-stop functionality, hybrid functionality, engine. Took the vehicle the next day to be diagnosed, the appointment was set as an inspection with oil change, filter change, and the prompts on my dash. I was advised that the issue to the prompts stemmed from the hybrid battery. I was told that contact was made to the manufacturer and that the battery would have to be replaced. The battery is on backlog and it would be about a month to arrive. I called in after leaving with additional questions as to the safety of the vehicle with the hybrid battery problem. The man on the phone said it is safe to drive, what would be affected would be the mileage I would not get because the hybrid portion was not functioning. He mentioned that a separate case was created with another 2024 cx-9 car owner with the same hybrid battery issue. It’s now two known cases with the hybrid battery issue. I called customer service and was provided with case number 00174049. The resolution to that call to corporate customer service is that I would receive a call back from the local dealership about a loaner car with about an hour. I became aware of a fourth recall, that the corporate agent referred to as a campaign, pertaining to the steering wheel. I asked my dealership advisor if that can be looked in addition to the other issues. She stated that she could not because it has not been launched. The corporate agent advised me that notification would normally happen 2-3 weeks. I looked up the steering wheel recall on the dep of transportation website. The recall has been published since the 18 of Jan 2024 and have yet to receive notification. I only found out today when I took the vehicle in for inspection.

STEERING
We called the dealer to have the recall taken care of. We were told that they were not sure if the part would be in in time for the date that they had set to do the fix. HOWEVER, the dealer also told us that we would be secondary to the fix vs their current on the lot inventory that they want to fix to sell! THEN, we will be able to have the required fix as there is availability of the part. Who should come first as this is a safety problem: The loyal customers that are actually out there driving the cars every day under the safety risk or cars sitting on the dealers lots waiting to be sold sometime down the road. Should an existing driver have an issue this would most certainly be a lawsuit. (We are on Facebook Mazda CX-90 North America website. It seems like the fix for this steering problem doesn't fix the issue) This is my second complaint with this vehicle. The first tracking number is: 11554525. NHTSA # 24V-022. (this complaint came as our car was at the dealership for 6 full weeks. They had to drop out the entire motor and transmission!). Pictures below uploaded. We also have been told that there will be several additional recalls to come. We are beyond frustrated with this whole process and car. Thank you for giving us a platform to lodge our concerns and issues.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
The “360 View Camera” image periodically goes blank, providing no image, just a blank screen with the colored lines showing vehicle and wheel direction. So when the car is put in reverse or forward, no image of the surroundings are visible. This will not resolve until the vehicle is turned off for an extended period. (An immediate restarting of the car will not resolve.) This car has had the other camera recall addressed and another camera TSB addressed. The issue continues to occur at random, unpredictable times. It has perhaps occurred 10-11 times.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The lane assist safety feature stops working. The car will allow drifting across well-marked lanes, despite being a clean car and a clear weather day. The car will not attempt to keep the car in the lane. The events are unpredictable. I have checked the settings when it has happened and they all appear to be the same - the lane assist and related boxes remain checked, etc. After turning off the vehicle for an hour or two, the system seems to reset and work again. This has happened twice that I know if, but could have happened at other times that I did not notice.

SUSPENSION
Both lower front control arm ball joints squeak when turning vehicle at slower speeds. Squeaking sounds were noticed at 970 miles. Dealer applied grease as a temporary fix per Mazda TSB #02-002/23. This is a family SUV and I take my wife and kids in it. I am concerned that this is a safety issue as there is a high chance of the lower control arm ball joint failing resulting in inability to steer vehicle in the proper direction. Please look into this issue. Thank you.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When driving on the highway next to a large truck or semi and on a curve, the adaptive cruise control thinks that there’s a vehicle in front of you and slams on the brakes. This has happened a few times with my vehicle. Thankfully, there were no vehicles immediately behind me, or the results could’ve been tragic.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
During cruise control engagement when passing a larger vehicle the system sometimes will execute aggressive braking potentially causing an accident with a vehicle following behind. Have to be ready to disengage cruise control during all situations with other vehicles in proximity. It will always perform the aggressive braking maneuver when passing a semi-truck on a curved highway.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Passenger side, side view mirror will intermittently turn all the way in and down. This makes it impossible to see traffic on your side. Once it turns in, it is stuck and you need to get out of the car to physical move it so the motor will adjust it again. This can happen at anytime and has happen at least 10 times since we've purchased the car on 12/29/2023

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
In tighter corners the car coasts/brakes unnecessarily while cruise is on. Seems like a safety feature possibly or a malfunction as I haven't had that on any other cruise controls on other vehicles. Then after the corner it accelerates. I find very annoying. If this is considered a safety feature then ok but it is way to sensitive currently and needs an update.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Turning left at intersection at green light , the oncoming traffic sped up and I needed to floor it to not get hit. The my car switch to hybrid and went into a crawl pace. I had to floor it again to wake it up and get the heck out of the way. I don't think the computer is doing a good job talking to the hybrid system and the powertrain during emergency maneuvering. This can be dangerous. I know it scared the hell out me.

ENGINE
First took the vehicle for unscheduled service around 2,000 miles relating to engine noises, primarily rattling while driving. It's sporadic, but it sounds as if something was rattling underneath the car, primarily when accelerating, most noticeable when ramping up from slower speeds/lower gears. Also, when switching from drive into park, the engine makes unusual rumbling/rattling noises before settling into the regular engine idle rhythm. Finally, at 2,532 miles, the check-engine light came on, along with the message "Engine Malfunction. Have the Vehicle Inspected".
