2025 Mazda CX-30 experienced a sudden complete loss of power while driving at highway speed with no prior warning lights or indications of malfunction. Immediately before shutdown, steering became extremely stiff due to loss of power steering assist.

The vehicle has major electrical issues. The ABS and all over driver safety options would shut off for days at a time. I had purchased this cx30 as new on January 02, 2026. It totally died and wouldn't start on February 03, 2026. It had to ve towed by mazda roadside assistance to Towne Mazda dealer in Orchard Park NY. It is now March 12, 2026 and the dealer has had my vehicle for over a month. They put a new wiring harness in it ans other components. Very frustrating.

I have been having repeated issues with the doors not autolocking, liftgate functionality, rear seat sensor, and random (collision?) warnings/sensors - among other settings that keep coming undone (audio options, etc) since the purchase of this car that I have been diligently notating/timestamping- i have close to 200 occurences so far. Just submitting another report to let you know it is STILL happening and IS NOT user error.

It seems like the computer has defaulted to receive the lowest possible gas mileage- if this is somehow communicating with the fuel system- its definitely affecting how much mileage I could be getting and robbing me of up to 100 miles per tank.

Iactive sensor indicated there was a/n (obstruction) or something preventing iactive from working (i dont remember what it said)? I dont remember- but either way- i find it distracting. It could not be turned off and was flashing repeatedly- telling me to drive safely ironically making me feel like I had to read it, in inclement weather, and take my eyes off the road.

The vehicle has a built in wireless phone charger. When the charger is used for for more than > 10 minutes, the phone proceeds to heat up to the point it burns your hand when you take it off the charger. I have spoken to the dealer and the service advisor says this is “normal” and occurs in a variety of car models. Then he blamed my phone, but my phone does not heat when using any other wireless or plug in charger. I am concerned that the excess heat will result in the battery exploding as we have seen with other phone charger and laptop charger devices. Perhaps they honestly do not realize this is an is an issue, but do we have to wait until someone is seriously hurt before it is addressed?
