2025 Mazda CX-90Transmission & drivetrainEngine & cooling

posts to corroborate my experience and these widespread experiences. I have a 2025 Mazda CX90. Many of us have reported that the radiator or coolant reserve tank may crack or deteriorate, leading to coolant leakage, low coolant warnings, and a noticeable sweet odor from our vehicles. If I didn't catch this, because the Dealer did not, and left unresolved, the coolant loss would have lead to overheating and potential engine damage. As of today, there has been No Official Recall: Mazda has not issued a formal nationwide recall specifically addressing the CX-90 radiator defect as of yet. As of this morning I have has success negotiating "goodwill" repair for the radiator, however they are going to replace it with the same defective part. I told Mazda that the radiators and coolant reserve tanks crack or deteriorate prematurely and why would I want another faulty part? I have only taken this vehicle to the Mazda dealership INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2025 Mazda CX-90Wheels & tires

The tires on my 2025 CX90 where declared by the dealership to be unsafe/worn at only 20,000 miles. They told me the tires are well into the red zone for replacement. The problem was confirmed by the dealer where I brought the car. The tires are Toyo open country. Evidently Mazda issued a TSB for the Falkan tires that are also failing early. Mazda and the tire manufacturer are well aware of the problem. They have offered to give me 50% off a new set (not to include mounting, balancing, etc.) of the same tires...

which will only wear out quickly like the current set. The challenge is neither the dearlership or Mazda will help with purchasing other tires that will wear longer and since there are so few tires that will fit the CX90 I feel my concerns are not being addressed. I do not want to buy another set of faulty tires - the internet is full of consumers discussing this very issue.11

2025 Mazda CX-90Other & unknown

At roughly 15,000 miles, the OEM Falken tires experienced severe, premature tread degradation down to the cords under regular driving conditions. Mazda is aware of the defect, as documented in TSB 02-003/26 regarding higher-than-expected wear rates on these factory tires. Driving a 5,000-lb SUV with compromised tire integrity presents a severe safety hazard, including catastrophic highway blowout and loss of control. Mazda has avoided a formal safety recall by classifying the repair as limited 'goodwill assistance' while denying warranty reimbursement to affected owners. This widespread tire defect on heavy vehicles warrants immediate regulatory investigation.
