VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

I am writing to report a serious safety issue with my vehicle, which resulted in a crash. While driving, I suddenly heard a loud sound, followed by an unexpected and uncontrollable shift of the steering wheel to the right. At the same time, the car unexpectedly accelerated, causing me to lose control and crash into a parked vehicle. The airbags deployed, and my car was totaled as a result of the collision. There were no obstructions on the road at the time of the incident, and the vehicle veered to the right without any prior warning. The car was purchased recently, with only approximately 3,000 miles on it and had been driven for just two months before this occurred. There were no warning

WHEELS
The rear wheel bearing failed at approximately 50k miles, causing grinding noise, humming, vibration, steering pull. It was replaced by Mazda under warranty in 2025. The wheel bearing failed again at approximately 59k miles. I have seen reports from other CX-30 owners describing the same recurring wheel bearing failure. This is a known issue that Mazda has not been resolving for the owners and there need to be a recall for this issue.

STRUCTURE:BODY
1. The system that is failing is the rear tailgate. When it is opened or closed there is a clicking sound as if it is tryng to engage the lock multiple times. While driving this continues with the tailgate closed turning on and off the interior lights in the vehicle and showing on the front console that the tailgate is unlocked and open. the car is availabe for inspection on request. When I asked the dealer about it they stated that this is a known problem and it will cost approximately 800 dollars to fix which I believe is unresonable due to it being a known issue. 2. Since the rear tailgate may not lock properly it could potentially fly open while driving. 3. Yes see #1-Was reported to

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
