My main complaint is the steering system. They had the recall fixed at a Mazda dealer in Tennessee before I purchased it. My steering wheel always seem to be crooked I took it to the dealer for an alignment that did not fix the issue of the car going side to side. I took it to three other shops for alignments and the car still seems to go in different directions no matter how correct they get the steering wheel. I also took the car to the dealership about the AC system making loud rattling like a can of nuts and bolts. I had five videos of the issue and let them see them and listen to them they had the car for approximately 32 days and returned it and told me there was no problem. While they had the car I had four different loaners 2025 and 2026 models and none of these models had any of the problems that my 2024 had. They were quiet and there were no issues with the steering rack. My arms actually get tired steering this car down the road because it always wants to go in a different direction it is not a hard steer is very subtle but it keeps you correcting the steering wheel from left to right the entire trip. After returning my car after a month of having it the AC was blowing very poorly and I took it back again. They evacuated the system and recharged it which seem to help however, now it seems to blow cold and then go back to warm sometimes blowing cold or if the car is just parked rather than going down the road. There have not been any warning lights or issues other than the general feel of the car wanting to go side to side when you get it going in a straight direction it wants to almost purposely go to the right or go to the left and then when you correct it it wants to go back to where it was it is very subtle. Lastly there are issues with the blind spot monitoring. In my previous Mazda it worked flawlessly and never falsely alerted me. However in this car the cx90 fails to notify me or sometimes notifies me when I'm sitting still next to a tree.

Heavy and sticky steering. While cornering or turning steering wheels can become stuck and does not return to central position and is very heavy. Reported to Mazda USA but they refuse to fix even though this is a know issue with a recall. Concen for the safety of my family while driving the car.

I purchased the vehicle used. The issue I have been having is the steering feels sticky, heavy, or briefly resistant when turning. It is very prominent when turning the steering wheel to the left, especially going around corners and rotaries, but even bends in the road. When trying to straighten out after the turn, I have to jerk the steering wheel back to the other direction. This becomes a control issue to keep within my lane. Driving straight the issue is present as the steering doesn’t self‑center smoothly. The issue happens once the car is "warmed up" - if I started cold in the morning, it is not present, but within a few minutes of driving the steering effort changes unexpectedly. The issue has been ongoing since March 2026.

I am filing this complaint regarding a serious steering safety issue with my 2024 Mazda CX-90, which I purchased on March 24, 2026, with approximately 40,000 miles. The vehicle previously underwent Mazda Safety Recall 6524A involving the steering system and increased steering effort. After purchasing the vehicle, it developed a serious steering problem. At approximately 50–65 mph, the steering wheel can become stuck or extremely difficult to move when I attempt to steer left or right, as if the steering is physically sticking. This creates a serious safety risk because the driver may be unable to make an immediate steering correction at highway speeds. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Mazda dealership and specifically requested that they determine whether the problem was related to the previous 6524A recall. The dealership documented my complaint as the steering wheel getting “STUCK” at 50/65 mph and referenced Recall 6524A and increased steering effort. The dealership inspected the vehicle and marked the steering concern FAILED. Their written recommendation states that the vehicle “needs steering rack.” The estimated repair cost is $2,236.45, with a total estimate of $2,524.19 including fees and taxes. I escalated this issue to Mazda Corporate and requested coverage because the vehicle previously received a safety recall repair involving the same steering system. Mazda Corporate denied coverage, leaving me responsible for the repair. The financial burden is also a serious concern. I currently cannot afford the approximately $2,500 repair, meaning I am unable to have this documented safety defect corrected. This puts my family in the difficult position of potentially needing to operate a vehicle with a known steering issue and also raises concern that other owners could face the same situation if they cannot afford the repair. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether Recall 6524A adequately addressed the underlying defect or whether this represents
