Since purchasing the vehicle, the braking system has activated on its own for no reason. Today, Oct 19, 2026, it was cold and it said the system was failing. My camera system fails when it rains. My 2024 Mazda CX-30 has 62,000 miles and is experiencing the exact catastrophic phantom braking and forward camera failures detailed in NHTSA Recall 24V649000 (Mazda Campaign 6824H).…
Airbags did not deploy, sensors keep going off, car keeps over heating even before accident did take it in to Mazda to be fixed two months prior.
The vehicle is experiencing premature transmission failure, since about 9,000 miles. Mazda has been dropping the ball at replacing it under warranty and we found out there are 3 other CX-30s that I know of with similar issues. I believe Mazda has a faulty transmission in these cars based off my findings and other complaints.
