ENGINE
Low engine oil level since I bought it in September 2021. I’ve had it at the dealer three times and they’ve said there are no codes on the car but they are on my Mazda app. They want me to drive it over a hour away with low oil to prove to them that the engine oil is low. I did this, shut the car off, the light went off and when the engine oil level was checked it read one quart low.

I would like to report that I am not feeling safe driving my 2021 MAZDA CX-30 Premium anymore. My vehicle is affected by the MAZDA Technical Service Bulletin 01-003/23,. Subject: ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT ON WITH DTC P250f:00 DUE TO LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL This is a known issue by MAZDA! It results in an oil consumption increase due to damage of the valve seals on the exhaust side. The first time the Engine warning light with the message "Engine Oil Level Low" was displayed on May 20, 2023. the earliest appointment to get this issue diagnoised and repaired was on 06/30/2023 at the MAZDA dealer in Augusta, ME. They diagnosed the issue but were not able to repair it, since they don't have the required level of technician as outlined in TSB 01-003/23. I then had to reach out to another MAZDA dealer, Thompson Mazda in Waterville, ME. They ignored my complaint over the phone, not accepting that this issue was already corectly diagnosed by the other MAZDA dealer in Augusta, ME. I contacted MAZDA of North America Customer Relations but didn't get any support so far. They told me the earliest date to get the vehicle diagnoesed and possibly repaired would be end of September. I told them that this is unacceptable and I don't feel safe driving the vehicle with this known issue.

AIR BAGS
I was involved in a traffic accident on 6/29/23 involving myself and my [xx] year old son, both in the front seat. We were struck in the back by one vehicle, spun out of control, hit another vehicle on the passenger side where my son was sitting and spun out of control again. Driver side did not strike anything and side airbags deployed (both front seat and back seat), passenger side airbags never deployed. My son's safety was put at risk as the damage was extensive and the car was totaled. He suffered two fractures in his shoulder and a broken clavicle. The problem has not been confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle has been inspected by my insurance carrier, Progressive. There were no warning lights, and no lights confirming that the airbag was turned off while my son was sitting in the passenger side. “INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

The low engine oil warning light keeps coming on, and there’s appears to be no visible leak. I add about a quart each time this happens and it does fine for a while. The last time I took it to the dealership, I told them about it. They just said they didn’t see a leak and not to worry about it. Ultimately the issue is how will this impact the longevity of my engine?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
After setting the adaptive cruise control, and overriding it with the accelerator pedal when approaching a vehicle in front of me to pass it, my vehicle briefly accelerated hard while switching lanes after clearing the vehicle in front of me. This happened even though I had taken my foot off the accelerator already. My current speed was also slightly higher than the set cruise speed. E.g. I set it to 75, I was driving 77 and it jumped up to 80 for a short while before settling back to 75. This acceleration happened right as I cleared the vehicle in front of me and I was in the other lane. You can feel the sudden acceleration. It is as if the radar noticed the vehicle wasn't in front of it any more so it accelerated disregarding the current speed or accelerator position.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I picked up my certified pre owned CX-30 just 2 days ago and noticed the windshield appears distorted or wavy which results in eye strain and headaches. This seems to occur in the left side of the windshield. It is difficult to focus for long periods of time. I asked another person to drive the car and they confirmed it nearly instantly. I recently learned this is a known issue with the vehicle.

ENGINE
I purchased a Mazda CX-30 October 2021 - in April of 2022 the oil light came on mileage 4,672 and I decided to have just have the oil changed at Hello Mazda of San Diego. They said they wouldn't charge me for the oil only the service charge. And mentioned that something is wrong and will top the oil off at no charge in the future. Last month in November I took a short trip to Tucson AZ to visit family the oil light came on once again mileage 10,079 I brought the car into Jim Click Mazda Tucson and after several hours I got the car back. They had topped off the oil with no charge. I asked how low the oil was. The service man quickly said just a little low under a quart. I didn't want to argue with him- but I checked the oil stick, and it was below a quart and I know a light most likely won't come on without it being at least a quart low.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
The car's battery has failed two times. The second time is after the battery was replaced -- so the problem was with two different batteries. Both times, I had to call & wait for roadside assistance. Dangerous situation. Both times, the car required a jump-start then a full charge. The dealer denies a battery problem or electrical system problem. However, a Mazda Roadside Assistance service provided advised me on 12/3/2022 that the (second) battery was dead and that something in the electrical system is clearly draining the battery. The car is driven every day. *** Several times a week there is a dashboard notice of "low battery risk". *** This has been consistent, starting with the first week of owning the car. It appears that something(s) in the electrical system is draining the battery to the point of failure. The car is 18 months old with @ 16,500 miles driven. It is a 2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus. It is available for inspection.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Was driving on interstate, during the afternoon, not close to any other traffic ahead. It was neither raining nor particularly windy. I heard a very loud “explosion” sound, like a gunshot. I pulled over and my sunroof is bowed OUTWARD a little, and missing a big section of glass. There is no rock or debris laying on the interior screen, and the sunroof is NOT concave like from an impact. It is clearly blown upward.

ENGINE
The Low Oil Level light/sensor came on before it was time to get an oil change (the recommended 4600 miles). This is super dangerous as it can cause major engine issues. I took it to the dealership and the dealership stated "they are having problems with these cars-they are burning too much oil so there is going to be a replacement valve once they have one made and you'll need to come back in to have it replaced -it will be a big job since it's part of the engine".
