Fuel/propulsion system
After a long drive, 250miles, stop to put fuel in the vehicle, I removed the fuel cap and gas blew out of the filler all over me, car, ground. Seems the fuel tank was under some kind of pressure. The pressure continued and I was not able to put fuel in the vehicle. If something would have ignited I would have been set on fire. Was not able to refuel the vehicle until the next day. This is a loaner car from the Mazda dealership. I experienced a problem like this with my 2024 CX-90 once but it would not allow me to put fuel in the vehicle. The pressure problem went away after a few minutes and I was able to refuel. Gas blowing out all over someone is going to get someone Killed. Have a…

Oct 14, 2026Lane departure › Blind spot detectionCrash
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…
Feb 10, 2026Structure › Body › Hatchback/liftgate
While unloading cargo from the rear of my 2025 Mazda CX-70, I activated the power liftgate(key was in pocket ) to close while i was reach back cargo . As the liftgate was closing, it struck me in my head and continued closing instead of stopping or reversing. I had to quickly move out of the way to avoid further injury. The obstacle detection feature did not appear to function as expected. I am concerned this could cause injuries to other owners, especially children or older adults.When I demonstrated my concern to the dealership using a soft pillow ( today when i wen to change oil 7-31-26), the liftgate compressed the pillow before reversing only a few inches. I remain concerned that the…

Vehicle Information I am reporting multiple persistent safety-related defects in my 2025 Mazda CX-70 that began immediately after purchase and continue despite repeated service visits, software updates (including MSP66 on July 9, 2026), and good-faith repair attempts. These defects substantially impair the vehicleâs safety, drivability, reliability, and security. ⢠Warning Lights & Phantom Braking: Brake messages and related warnings on the cluster appeared on the drive home from the dealership shortly after purchase, even with no obstacles present. Intermittent false warnings have continued. ⢠Shifter / Transmission Behavior & Hard Shifting: Intermittently fails to engage Drive after…
Nov 1, 2025Lane departure › Assist
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.
Jul 12, 2026Forward collision avoidance › Adaptive cruise control
This happens often. On a trip to Florida of 1200 miles, it happened 12 times each way. After being slowed in the right lane by a car in front driving slower tan my set cruise speed, I signal and move to an empty (in front of me) left lane. Instead of accelerating to resume my set cruise speed, the car decelerates abruptly by as much as 10 mph. If a car is following me and most logically is expecting me to accelerate after moving to the left lane, that car's driver is surprised and risks rear ending me. I took the car in to service this issue. Mazda has a Service Alert (SA-007/24. The conclusion of the SA is basically it is what it is. I think that this is a serious safety issue. I have a…
Apr 30, 2026Electrical system
While driving at a speed just under 45 mph, my Mazda CX-70 suddenly displayed and chimed âHybrid System Malfunction. Have Vehicle Inspected.â. This warning startled me because I am familiar with issues since I had briefly owned a CX-90 PHEV the first year this model came out and it had the same exact problem. I discovered that this issue carries serious safety concerns and ended up convincing the dealer to swap the vehicle for a CX-90 inline 6 gas only model after hours of pleading. I ended up signing up for another lease a couple of years later with this current CX-70 PHEV, as I was told that the âbugsâ have pretty much been worked out so I would give it another try. This warning…
