My car is model CX-30 2024 and I bought it a week ago. The car was turned off with the doors open because I was cleaning it. When I wanted to start the car it gave me an error: -??Keyless Entry System Malfunction, have the Vehicle Inspected-??, also the start indicator light (amber) flashes. After this error message, I couldn't start the car. I called Mazda where I bought it and they told me to do several maneuvers with the key fob, I also tried with the other key fob and after doing thousands of maneuvers the car didn't turn on. They told me to call Mazda's Emergency Roadside Assistance to have them send the tow truck and leave the car in the Mazda workshop. More than 4 hours passed and the tow truck never arrived, I called Mazda roadside assistance again and they told me that there were no tow trucks available and that it would take another 4 or 5 hours to arrive (that is, around 4 in the morning). It was already midnight, it was cold and I had to leave my son alone at home because I couldn't leave the car in the street. I had to call another tow truck company that could assist me faster (they arrived in 30 minutes). I am completely frustrated and disappointed with the Mazda service because in the workshop they said that the key fob was in hibernation and that's why it wouldn't turn on. It's incredible that this happens with a completely new car (1 week old) and that the dealer says that the car doesn't have any problems. This represents a high risk and danger to anyone if the car suddenly doesn't start and there's no way for it to start. In addition, I had tow truck and Uber expenses to be able to transport myself. I urgently need to review this problem with Mazda, as there are no recalls and they do not respond to this problem.

The door locks and some of the settings like the lane departure & the blind spot monitoring all of a sudden do not work consisently. The door locks do not stay locked and lopen whilde driving or at night agter they have been locked. The setting are set for them tpo lock on their own-not consistent.
