Multiple instances while driving on the highway with cruise control and lane keep assist on - on a bend slight turn the car veered into the other lane across the lane lines - even with other cars present. Additionally, it does not auto steer away from a blind spot collision - had I not noticed the car there would have been an accident.Owner report · Lane Departure · Jul 2026
There have been several false blind spot monitoring alerts since I received vehicle. It seems to get worse with time. Now on freeway trips it’s almost constant leaving no trust with alertsOwner report · Lane Departure · May 2026
This has occurred numerous times. Using the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle decelerates as I approach a slower moving vehicle. That is what it should do. When I move from the right lane to the open left lane, instead of accelerating back to the set cruise speed, the car decelerates as much as 10 mph before finally regaining its mind and accelerating to the set speed. I have had cars following me that are expecting my car to accelerate that are surprised that the car decelerates. This happens on straight roads with no car ahead of me in the left lane.Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · May 2026

Lane assist system acts on it's own and attempts to override my input. It can be very jarring especially at high speeds. I notice the issue mostly when I'm on the highway/freeway and attempting to lane change or take an exit ramp. The system trys to correct my steering and I have to briefly fight against it to maintain control.Owner report · Steering,Lane Departure · Mar 2026
The contact owns a 2025 Mazda CX-70. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds with the Lane Keep Assist feature deactivated, the steering wheel jerked to the left. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, and the failure was being investigated. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.Owner report · Lane Departure · Feb 2026
At highway speeds (>60 mph), the blind spot detection on the passenger side will alert that a car is present in the vehicles blind spot when no car is present. This will happen intermittently and will continue even if I begin the lane change process, it will continue to alert that the car is there. Additionally, and less frequently, the forward collision detection system will identify a car is in front of the vehicle causing a sudden slow down in the adaptive cruise control or an alert.Owner report · Lane Departure,Forward Collision Avoidance · Feb 2026
Multiple times when there is a car on my left or right blind spot and I am merging into their lane the warning does not go off and has caused me to nearly collide with the cars without my intervention. The warnings only work if the cars are behind me not adjacently. This is misleading because the , i-ACTIVSENSE says its 360 degrees, but its not alerting or warning to cars to my left or right. I do not trust the safety systems.Owner report · Lane Departure,Back Over Prevention · Dec 2025
After fuel gage recall completed, vehicle still doesn’t read fuel level correctly. Sometimes doesn’t show fuel level at all, sometimes, after refueling to a full tank, computer only shows 250 miles of range.Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Dec 2025
I had my car only for 4 months, but the windshield glass is broken when the car was parked on my driveway couple days ago I usually only drive my cars during weekends so the windshield glass broke without any forcing. I was asked to bring to Mazda dealer, the 495 Mazdas at Lowell MA. The technician couldn’t find any cause leading to broken windshield. I took the car to safelite shop. The inspection report is same and believe it is most likely due to quality issue. However Mazda service was not willing to repair. Very poor and disappointing customer support!Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Dec 2025
