Randomly, the rear blind spot warning will go off even when there is nothing there while driving. It is typically always the right rear blind spot. It has done this for over 9 months now. I contacted the dealer but they ignored me.
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...

mechanical issues. While an authorized dealership has now temporarily provided a standard loaner vehicle while in possession of the car, the service center stated they could not replicate the intermittent engine defect and refused or delayed performing necessary safety repairs, claiming no error codes were actively stored. Meanwhile, the manufacturer's corporate legal department has completely failed to communicate for two solid weeks, maintaining complete radio silence and failing to provide any formal communication or resolution regarding the underlying breach of warranty and the safety deadlock on my vehicle.
Sticky steering service department deemed dangerous to drive until fixed.
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...

[[redacted]] ,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 to get the update . About two moths later we backed into a mailbox at slow speed and received no alert . This collision caused $600 damage to the right tail light . This incident prompted me to call Mazda customer experience to get our software update expedited. They resisted and continued with the unavailable narrative .I insisted and demanded a fix as this was a safety feature that is now an unsafe condition and also it is a very expensive feature on this car that we paid for and have not had the use of for several month to that point . A service appointment was arranged at Alan Webb Mazda in [[redacted]] . By the time of the appointment there were two other service recalls that needed to be accomplished on the vehicle so I approved that works also but the repair of the collision avoidance system was my primary concern and also Mazda had agreed to replace the tail light if in fact the system had malfunctioned . The next day the vehicle was ready for pickup (July30, 2026). When the vehicle was picked up at the service dept. I was told that there were no problems with the collision avoidance system . As of Aug 1,2026 the system is still malfunctioning in the same way as the two previous complaints . I believe they are hiding the truth about vehicle safety features.
