2025 Mazda CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid

Nothing has malfunctioned but I want to complain about the false advertising of the 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV Premium Plus. This car is the most expensive one Mazda sells and they exclude so many features from it that the Top trim inline 6 has. This is supposed to be the same car but hybrid. My chief complaints are deleting the lighting on the liftgate and not having the full lighting on the headlights. They are replaced with non functional dummy lights. That’s a safety hazard on such a large vehicle. Another feature I was unaware that I did not have was tilting side mirrors. Top trim of inline 6 has it. PHEV does not. Something is not adding up here and the amount of features missing on the top trim is aggravating especially when you consider the cost of the vehicles side by side and what you sacrifice to have PHEV vs inline 6. There are so many complaints about this car not having the same features as its gas counterpart. I took my car to the dealership on two separate occasions for these complaints because I thought they were defects. What also irritates me is that the PHEV is not even worth charging because you only get 27 miles of electric range. It does not last 27 miles though. I’m losing so many features because of these 27 miles and it’s unacceptable. Plus I have 2 recalls on the vehicle already and I can’t afford to trade it back in for the inline 6.

This bulletin supersedes the previously issued bulletin(s) listed below. The changes are noted in Red. 02-003/26 09/04/26 and 06/24/26 Some vehicles have reported faster than expected tire wear for vehicles equipped with OEM "Falken 275/45/21" tires, without outside influence such as low tire pressure or out of specification alignment, and the tire life may not meet customer expectations. To eliminate this concern, the tire contact patch pressure has been optimized. REPAIR PROCEDURE Verify the customer concern (inspect the tires, verify tread depth, and replace all the tires as required on the vehicle according to the following "Inspection Requirements" and the instructions in MGSS (WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION). Mazda Warranty is providing case by case goodwill processing information regarding tire wear complaints on CX-90, and CX-70 vehicles equipped with OEM 21” 275/45/21 Falken tires. This goodwill assistance process does not include any other tire brand or size.

For vehicles equipped with the Accessory Tow Brake Controller (P/N: C9N1V7782A), the 12V battery may become discharged due to high parasitic current if the vehicle is left unused for an extended period, regardless of whether a trailer is connected or not. This may be caused by power supply to the controller continuing after the ignition is turned OFF due to inadequate software in the Tow Brake Controller. 5. Replace the accessory with the improved part (suffix "B"), and verify that the parasitic current is 65 mA or less. NOTE: For accessory installation procedures, refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS in attached.

Subject: Update – Campaign Warranty Claim Response Enhancements – Modules Not Repaired for Certain Campaigns Dear Mazda Dealer Colleagues, On October 28, 2026, a change was implemented in the warranty claim response screen to provide precise information for all campaigns requiring module programming or module replacement subject to the LECS system software checks. As previously announced, some claims were automatically rejected with the Edit code JN1 – One or More Modules Are Not Updated when submitting a campaign warranty claim. This response was based on the session file received from MDARS or MDARS II at the dealership and the VIN on the claim submitted. This change provides additional Related Information which enhances the edit code information. This information allows the dealer to correct the error without contacting Warranty or Hotline. Edit code JN1 now contains the actual module name and the software version that was collected from the car and what the minimum required software needed to be for the claim. Using this information, the technician can now identify the exact error or errors and correct the concern.
