The accident occurred on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 14, which I reported to Enterprise, City of Falls Church, on the morning of November 15. Additionally, I provided to Enterprise email links to the many reports about breaking problems about the CX30 2021, 2022, and 2023 MAZA models and the reasons for their recall for repair. Here are the details about what happened. As I was trying to put the car in reverse from a standing position, the car, instead, lurched forward at great speed headed toward the Sun Trust bank. I had to use super-human strength to the brake pedal on the car to force it into a standing position. The damage to the car is due to scrapping some bark off one of the trees that separates the Sun Trust Bank property from the CapitalOne bank property where my car was parked.

Low oil indicator came on after only1,800 miles since an oil change, I added a quart of oil and then the light came on again after only 1,000 miles. Asked the service department at the dealership and they said there was an issue with the oil and the turbo system and that it would be a three day repair. I was advised in the meantime to take a couple of extra quarts of oil if I was going to doing any traveling this summer.

Adaptive cruise control on at 70mph, speeding car pulls into my lane with no gap (completely cut me off), hard brake by computer, I did not tap the brake to take it off of cruise, car that had cut me off zigs into another lane while adaptive cruise control has car at about 40 mph due to hard brake. As car in front pulls out of the lane, adaptive cruise control guns the engine to 3500-4000 rpm since there was no obstruction in front of it anymore and it wanted to go back to the 70 mph preset. During this incident the Engine Malfunction light comes on, warning to get car serviced. Upon taking it in for service they found that the thermostat needed to be replaced? This seems unlikely. Car has only 15k miles on it. I have another model Mazda and the adaptive cruise control has gunned it in a similar manner, taking the car well past 3000 rpm. Mazda needs to reprogram.

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.
