2024 MAZDA CX-90 PLUG-IN HYBRID Power Train Problems

While driving 35 mph on a busy street, our vehicle completely lost power. The vehicle started violently shaking until I came to a complete stop. Many warning lights came on. Two primary: "Hybrid Malfunction", "Engine Malfunction" along with a couple others. When I stopped the car completely, it took 5 minutes before I could change the car from park to drive to move the car out of the way of oncoming traffic. Sitting in the middle of a busy road with hazards on is not safe!! Also, Suddenly losing power on a very busy street caused car behind me to slam brakes and honk at us. Very lucky we didnt cause an accident. If this had happened in a different situation such as freeway at 75 mph, major intersection, on a long roadtrip etc... the risk for significant disaster increase significantly! The car is current at Tum Dahle Dealership in Murray, Utah. This is the second time in 4 months we've had to take this car to the dealer for an issue. The first time was just an "Engine Malfunction" light. It sure seems like we bought a lemon. Even if they fix this car, my confidence is extremely low in this car being a safe car that im ok with having my family in.

Humming noise coming out of the powertrain that might be related to gear box or bearing. This mechanical safety issues mught endanger my life and cause a breakdown while driving, thus an accident.

On my way to drop kid to school all of a sudden the car gave up power and shuddered with engine malfunction and I-drive malfunction warning. Check engine light came on. This is risky because another vehicle could have smashed into us if on highway or high speed. Research shows that a whole lot of people have this identical issue.

I was driving in EV mode and was behind another vehicle waiting to turn out of a plaza. The exit is on a slope which is important to mention. The car in front of me began to turn and as I was releasing the brake to move up the hill, the car engine kicked on, the RPM’s went up extremely high as if the accelerator was being pressed all the way to the floor, the car jolted forward on its own and hit the car in front of me. I kept trying to brake, but the car continued to accelerate on its own into the car in front of me a second time. I understand that when on a slope driving in EV mode, the cars engine will kick in to allow the car enough momentum to make it up the hill. However, in this case, the engine kicked in, but the momentum was extreme to the point that when I released the brake to roll forward the car shot forward so fast there was no avoiding a collision. This is extremely faulty and unsafe! My child and I suffered injuries as a result of striking the other car twice. We’re lucky we were not hit by multiple other cars as we were propelled into the intersection. I’m terrified to drive this car with my children. I contacted the dealership that instructed me to have the collision repairs completed first and then they would check out the car out.

Driving up snowy pass on I-90 approaching the top of Snoqualmie Pass. Vehicle stalled and warning lights flashed critical warning and loss of power. The vehicle stopped in the middle of the highway and would not start or go into drive. After a few minutes, because of speeding and adverse conditions, another driver collided with my vehicle from behind. Another following vehicle lost control and ran off the road. Nobody was injured. Mazda has not provided any information to what happened with the vehicle. We added about 12k miles in the 5 months of driving it, so we had lots of testing with it, and never ran into this serious of an issue with this or any other vehicle.

At 3200 miles the vehicle had a major powertrain malfunction causing the vehicle to throw multiple error codes - Hybrid System Malfunction; Charging System Malfunction; Electrical Leakage Detected. Was instructed to pull over to a safe area immediately. Was unclear how long car would continue to be drivable. Once car stopped it became completely immobile. Repeated restart attempts would not let vehicle start ICE engine or shift into gear. Had to be towed via dollies to nearest dealer for diagnosis and repair. Dealer found a failed PTC heater unit as source of problem and replaced it (Mazda part- KMV6-61-FHX). Vehicle is once again drivable, but the dealer has no idea what would cause the unit to fail and how to avoid future problems. Dealer has heard about this with many vehicles and repaired several similarly. We are fortunate to have found a safe place to pull off the road before powertrain shutdown, but if not we would have been stuck on the road with no ability to move the vehicle and occupants to safety. I hope NHTSA can investigate whether a recall of that part or the software that controls it is needed. NHTSA should also look into the failure mode of the vehicle to see if a different approach is safer and more appropriate.
