2025 Mazda CX-70

Within 100 days of purchasing the CX70 new ,we noticed that the collision avoidance system was malfunctioning . It would alert when no car was near us . It did not alert every time a car was actually in our right blind spot or moving through our right blind spot . The malfunctions were random and happened in a variation of conditions and driving situations . We began to mistrust the system and continually disregarded many of its alerts . The old boy who cried Wolf sinerio.We took the car into a Mazda dealer in [XXX] ,FINDLAY MAZDA they told us that the system is malfunctioning but the software fix is not yet available from the manufacturer Mazda. We were told to wait for contact from Mazda to get the update . About two moths later we backed into a mailbox at slow speed and received no alert . This collision caused $600 damage to the right tail light . This incident prompted me to call Mazda customer experience to get our software update expedited. They resisted and continued with the unavailable narrative .I insisted and demanded a fix as this was a safety feature that is now an unsafe condition and also it is a very expensive feature on this car that we paid for and have not had the use of for several month to that point . A service appointment was arranged at Alan Webb Mazda in [XXX] . By the time of the appointment there were two other service recalls that needed to be accomplished on the vehicle so I approved that works also but the repair of the collision avoidance system was my primary concern and also Mazda had agreed to replace the tail light if in fact the system had malfunctioned . The next day the vehicle was ready for pickup (July30, 2026). When the vehicle was picked up at the service dept. I was told that there were no problems with the collision avoidance system . As of Aug 1,2026 the system is still malfunctioning in the same way as the two previous complaints . I believe they are hiding the truth about vehicle safety features.

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.

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.

I purchased a Certified Pre-Owned Mazda CX-70 that exhibits intermittent and unpredictable steering behavior, creating a significant safety concern. The steering will intermittently stiffen and then pull the vehicle left or right without driver input, at times toward oncoming traffic or the breakdown lane, requiring immediate correction. On straight roads, the vehicle does not consistently track and will drift unpredictably. When driving over minor road variations (such as small bumps or frost heaves), the steering wheel may jerk suddenly in the opposite direction. The vehicle also intermittently behaves as though lane-keeping assistance is active—auto-correcting relative to lane lines—despite all lane assist features being turned off. In multiple instances, the vehicle has tracked erratically along lane lines or navigated slight curves without driver input. The issue occurs unpredictably but is more pronounced on rural or uneven roads and during initial driving, though it can persist on highways as well. The issue caused several near miss accidents-twice it sent my vehicle careening into oncoming traffic; another time it tried to drive me back toward a pedestrian I was driving around intentionally. Driver has to be at constant heightened attention to avoid accident. Multiple repair attempts were made, including replacement of the steering column. The condition temporarily improved but returned and worsened. During the final repair attempt, dealership foreman, master technicians, and manufacturer technical support were involved, and the condition was ultimately deemed a “characteristic” with no repair available. The vehicle remains unrepaired and unsafe to operate. The dealer is refusing to supply the customer with any details of the repair order and diagnostic work that was done. The manufacturer has agreed to repurchase the vehicle under lemon law, confirming the defect could not be resolved.

I have put on over 20,000 miles since I purchased new in September 2024. The entire time of ownership, I have dealt with false blind spot warnings. With a clean car/clean sensors, it doesn't matter the time of day/night... when driving at highway speeds, the right rear blind spot warning comes on intermittently even when driving in the right lane of interstate with only the shoulder of the interstate next to me and no other obstructions. When this happens while in the passing lane and believing there is nobody next to me and I put on the blinker and try to switch lanes.... it alarms me saying there is something in my blindspot. These are false readings, that make this "safety feature" a safety concern. Sometimes, the car even tries to pull me back in my current lane even though there is nothing in sight in the lane I'm trying to switch to. The I have had the car to the dealership approximately 4 times for this ongoing issue and they claim they are unable to replicate the problem. I have read numerous other complaints reporting the same issue, and Mazda has not developed a fix to date.

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.

The contact owns a 2025 Mazda CX-70. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the blind spot monitor beeped and lit up on the mirror. The contact stated that there was no other vehicle nearby. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. In addition, the contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with failed blind spot monitor sensors. The contact was informed that the blind spot monitor sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, failure reoccurred. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the blind spot monitor beeped and lit up on the mirror. The contact stated that there was no other vehicle nearby. The blind spot monitor independently activated the service brakes. The contact stated that the blind spot monitor steered the vehicle in the opposite direction. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a blind spot monitor issue. The contact was informed that the manufacturer was currently working on a software update to fix the failure. In addition, the contact was informed that the failure was not a safety concern. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 2,500.

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.
