Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain 2024-2025 Mazda3 and CX30 vehicles. The Sophisticated Air Bag Sensor (SAS) units may set an error code and deactivate the air bags, due to a low battery condition.
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2024 Mazda 3, CX-30, and 2025 CX-50 vehicles. A malfunction in the forward sensing camera (FSC) may prevent the automatic emergency braking system and the lane-keep assist system from functioning. In addition, the headlights will not automatically adjust from high beams to low beams as intended.
Reporting Product Defect in Mazda Vehicles I am writing to bring to your attention a recurring design flaw affecting current Mazda vehicles, including models such as CX30, MX30, and potentially the Mazda3 series. Following heavy rain or high humidity conditions, there is a consistent issue with the tire pressure sensor alarming and the smart key being unable to unlock the car doors. I have checked my key fob battery, RF function, car battery - none of these are the root cause. Despite consulting local dealerships and various Mazda forums, no one seems to have a definitive solution to this problem. Therefore, I am reaching out to report the existence of this product defect. This issue appears to be more prevalent during summer in Arizona - after the thunderstorms, this issue came up every time. Even with the heat here, it takes from several hours to 2 days for the affected part to dry out and function again.

When I first got my Mazda CX30 2024 New lease ,my Breaks were very weak & didn't perform as new. Only 2 years later w 9K miles on it, Mazda states my breaks need to be replaced. My rotors need to be shave. A whole list of services on a car thats 2 years old. My concern is, break service at 9K confirm my car wasn't new and that Mazda put my Safety at risk w Old Breaks... Mazda is hiding somerhing about my breaks playing games...in the mean time I feel my safety is in jeopardy with defective breaks that maza should fully cover under warranty. Which they won't honor. Putting my safety in jeopardy

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The automatic braking turned on while I was accelerating. My car is available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I could have been rear ended because my car automatically braked at an unpredictable time in rush hour traffic with someone very close behind me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? It has happened to me maybe 4 times before but the dealer hasn't been able to reproduce it. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? It first happened soon after I bought my car new.

[XXX] fuel door assembly has come loose from body. It looks like the clips that hold it in place have become worn or loose by the weight of the gas nozzle or by the fact that the gas door will not close correctly and car wash machine has made it looser and it appears to not shut all the way, and the body colored panel has fallen off as a result and when you pump gas, the assembly moves may be possibly causing it to leak gasoline if the seal or gasket becomes dislodged because of the loose clips that hold assembly to the body panel.

The vehicle intermittently fails to start when pressing the push-button start system. The start/stop button becomes unresponsive despite normal conditions (key present, brake engaged, no warning indicators preventing ignition). This has now occurred twice within two years of ownership, indicating a recurring issue rather than an isolated incident. On the most recent occurrence, the vehicle was completely unable to start and required towing. The tow truck operator reported that he had towed four vehicles of the same make/model for the exact same issue within one week, suggesting a broader pattern affecting multiple vehicles. Safety Concern: This presents a significant safety risk, including: •Inability to start the vehicle in unsafe or emergency situations •Risk of being stranded in dangerous environments (e.g., roadside, extreme weather, unsafe areas) •Potential failure of the ignition system, which raises concerns about reliability of vehicle operation overall A malfunction in the start/stop system directly impacts the vehicle’s basic functionality and creates an unpredictable and potentially hazardous situation for drivers. Additional Notes: Given the repeated occurrence and reports of similar failures in other identical vehicles, this issue may represent a systemic defect that warrants investigation.
