IllustrationNear a roundabout the car in front of me started moving and braked. My car didn’t give any forward collision warning or proximity alert before my car hit the other car from back. The speed was less than 12 mph.

The Mazda CX90 PHEVs i-activesense system that controls the adaptive cruise, lane departure and lane keep assist system disables at random times with a message "i-activesense temporarily disabled. front radar obstructed." There is never any objects obstructing the radars and no outside weather/elements affecting it. It will not turn back on either, even though it should turn back on if the obstruction is cleared from the radars/sensors. Since there isnt anything to clear when it happens, it stays disabled unless the vehicle is turned off completely and back on. I have had this vehicle for 2 weeks and it has disabled on the interstate traveling 70+ mph and on city roads in congested traffic over 15 times. When it happens with the cruise control enabled, it immediately begins decelerating quickly, causing a safety issue when on the interstate at high speeds. Was brought back to service 24 hours after acquiring the vehicle but Mazda cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with it. Its a huge safety issue when it all disables and the car quickly decelerates without any warning. Has happened on multiple dates, at least 15 times in 2 weeks, at various speeds with 75 mph being the fastest.
