There is a crack in the corner of the Mazda connect center display. I bought this car certified pre-owned last year and the crack was already there.

While driving my 2016 Mazda Cx-3 on California highway 280 it suddenly started losing power, I couldn't drive the car and there was no warning light of anything. Not knowing the problem I did not want to drive the car any further, had to tow to the Mazda dealer. They have identified the problem as transmission had to be replaced. There was no engine check light and there was no other warning lights. As they working on the car they also identified the brakes were worn out well beyond the minimum standards. Also there was no brake warning light to alert me for the such problem. If the car didn't stall because of transmission problem I would be still driving the car and one day I could have had a major accident because of no brake function. This problem also cost me an additional expense where the calipers and the rotors had to be replaced. I am reporting this problem so that other 2016 Mazda Cx-3 owners can be warned, or this should be recall due to faulty warning lights for the transmission and the brakes.

Vehicle A/C quit working after less than 3 yrs, just out of warranty no less. Dealer wants nearly $2K for repair. Turns out the cause is a defective part Mazda has been aware of since 2016. I was not notified of this issue. There are three separate tsb's about the issue and a Mazda service program (msp 50) alert. Tsb's: 07-001-18-3465 07-001-18-3274B 07-004/17-3332A NHTSA #'s 10136781 10129570 10120389

I made my 90 degree turn into parking stall with may be 5 miles an hour and pushed the brake to fully stop! car almost stopped but suddenly something weird happened and car suddenly accelerated! it stopped by hitting the snow bank and another car! I am shocked and very scared!
