MAZDA3 4-cyl

  • 9,500 miles
These issues been happening since the second month I owned my 2019 Mazda 3 hatchback. 1- suspensions, they're very rough & harsh., they bounce so much for no reason, I damaged one tire already while I was driving on I476 normal highway where I stepped on normal pothole ended up damaging my tire, suspensions are really dangers on all roads. 2- "adaptive cruise control" this feature many times almost caused an accident, rear end specially on highways. For some reason it doesn't detect the car in front of me when I have auto cruise enabled, no rain clear weather, this been reported more than 5 times to the dealership & its hard for them to tell what happen. They even had specialist came from ca to check up the car however it was declared the car has no issues, yet I still have issues every day, S 3- emergency breaking, sometimes it enables for no reason & the cars behind me almost rear ended me, they think I did break check but I don't the brakes! 4- peruzzi Mazda, where I purchased my car, said they will never work on my car again because "it wasted enough of their time". I have video of me picking up the car from peruzzi Mazda, dealership & it won't start up out side the service department & I called the manager & he said leave for next day, he called me day after saying it was my iphone charger... I asked him how the tech was able to bring it outside to the front door without no issues? he refused to answer. I work at a hospital & I daily my car to work, its not safe for me or to anyone on the road to drive it at all.

I was driving about 30 mph or slower in a light rain on a city street when my vehicle said that the front radar failed/unable to function, all safety systems are now disabled. This lasted for about 3-4 minutes and then it started to function again but only for 2 minutes and then it gave the same message and disabled all my safety systems while again. It started to function again as I pulled into my driveway which is why I was unable to get a photo. I have had multiple ongoing problems with lane departure warning and with the windshield wiper sensor and the doors and trunk locking and unlocking. I think the entire electrical system is defective and most of the problems come from the front radar but there are so many problems with the electronics that I this this vehicle is a lemon. The lane-keep assist is so bad it has almost made me crash on 3 separate occasions so I have disabled it.
