CX-30

  • miles
I bought Mazda CX30 in 2020 and the battery already starts to fail. The engine light and the battery light are on suddenly when I was driving. Then, after a while, when I restart the engine and it starts to work again. However, it happens for two times within a week. I have sent the car to the Auto Zone and the nearby car auto repair company to check the car. However, they said they cannot detect anything as the engine light and the battery light are on again this time. It is so dangerous when the car suddenly stop in the middle of the road when I was driving. I am so lucky that this accident happened during rush hour and there were heavy traffic.

I want a lifetime bumper to bumper warranty on this vehicle or full reimbursement toward a 2021 model. See image of letter sent. I should not have to worry about the safety of my vehicle with a new model. It is Mazda experiment, not mine.

My experience at sansone Mazda was an absolutely nightmare. First off they had me in a lease of 10K down for a payment of 200$ a month, silly me. 7/1/2020 I bought a Cx-30, on the floor the man had to jump start the car when I asked why he said it 'was because people play with the system'. the following morning the windshield wiper fluid symbol came up. 9 days later on 7/10/2020 I went to sign the rest of the papers and get the fluid serviced, this is where my headache began. The morning following a tropical storm my vehicle wouldn't start, called a tow truck to bring it back to sansone. Service said my engine was flooded but never took any action to release any of the water, repeatedly saying I was not covered. This same day the shop has closed at 4pm, I had checked my Mazda app and my hood was open. Calling the following day the man over the phone said it was parked outside once again with the hood open, 2 minutes after the call it was closed. Today I went on car fax and found out the car had 1,600 miles( the car given to me had 25) and was serviced 3 times the month before upon an issue of 'manufacture safety recall', along with the note of 'fuel tank may leak'. went through insurance and 2 weeks into the claim I find out Mazda sansone ignored gieco's calls and failed to send any pictures to my insurance company.the manager at Mazda sansone ignored my calls, messages and failed to take part in any repair towards my week old vehicle. Everyone here is out for your money

I was driving car on.the highway and as I prepared to exit I braked and the car hesitated for 2 seconds before brakes engaged. Car has also had hesitation upon acceleration periodically.this has been an issue upon just a few weeks of ownership. The break issue was just recently 7-29-20 I have taken the car to the local dealership about the driving/accelaration issue twice without resolution.
