LED headlight cooling fan and motor failureEXTERIOR LIGHTING20 complaints2023-12 → 2026-06cx5-2022-headlight-fan-motor-failure
11736447 My 2022 Mazda CX-5 Signature began producing a loud whirring/rattling noise from the driver-side front headlight assembly. After investigation, the noise was identified as coming from the internal cooling fan located inside the LED headlight unit. The cooling fan, which is…
11722983 Both front headlights are making an abnormal loud whining noise which started intermittently about 6 months ago and became continuous January 2026. Took vehicle to dealership where the dealership reported that the noise may be due to contamination by a foreign matter during the…
11732328 Both LED headlights died within two months of each other on this relatively new vehicle. Outside the three year warranty, but only 27,000 miles (well within the 36,000 warranty period). As it's outside of the three years, the warranty already expired regardless of mileage. One…
11453165 The sunroof exploded while driving 70mph on a rural highway. There were no other cars nearby that could have kicked up a rock nor anything that could have fallen on the sunroof. The window buckled outward, not inward. The glass shattered and flew everywhere endangering the…
11508492 My 2022 CX5 sunroof exploded while driving on highway, glass fragments were caught by the shade so no one was injured thankfully. But this could have easily caused bodily injuries if the shade was open. The loud explosion and glass fragments could have distracted/impair the…

Engine cylinder head cracking and HLA ticking noiseENGINE6 complaints2024-01 → 2025-03cx5-2022-engine-cylinder-head-hla-noise
11565525 Cracked cylinder head, August 2023. I'm not sure if it's a safety hazard, but it seems that oil being sprayed around a hot engine could be a fire hazard. Also, since the oil light comes on with no warning, it could cause people to have to pull over on a busy interstate because…
11632225 The engine on my 2022 naturally aspirated Mazda CX5, is making a loud ticking noise when cold started. The vehicle is in pristine condition and is services regularly at the dealer with only 33,000 miles. The ticking noise is a known issue for this make and model, where Mazda has…

Unintended acceleration and unexpected vehicle surgeVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES5 complaints2022-07 → 2025-08cx5-2022-unintended-acceleration
11475980 I was looking for a parking place and was driving very slowly. I slowed further to turn into a place on the right, near the south end of the parking lot and was attempting to put the car in park when the car accelerated abruptly, lurched forward, crossed over the concrete curb…
11681430 Several times and most recently today 8/18/2025 at 5:30 PM my 2022 Mazda CX-5 accelerated while I had my foot on the brake and only the brake. Hard pressure on the brake kept the SUV from lurching forward. This has happened before but I did not think it would occur again. But…
11501356 While stopped on a slight downgrade, RPM suddenly increased and vehicle lurched forward. Applying more pressure to brake stopped movement. I forced transmission into park. Took foot off brake, RPM still high. Tapped accelerator, RPM dropped to normal idle. Fortunately, there…
11472866 While I was on the brakes slowing at a normal rate with plenty of distance to the vehicle ahead, my vehicle unexpectedly activated automatic emergency braking. It abruptly applied full brakes and came to a complete stop, even though traffic ahead was still rolling. There was…
11627600 The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Forward Collision Avoidance system erroneously activated, and the vehicle came to a complete stop in the middle of a busy intersection. The contact stated that there were no other vehicles or object nearby. The…
Transmission and powertrain loss of drivePOWER TRAIN3 complaints2023-01 → 2025-08cx5-2022-powertrain-transmission-failure
11683090 Transmission failure, currently reproducible but car is at dealer to be evaluated/repaired. I was safe as I was still in my driveway, however if I was in traffic I would be at risk of an accident, by the time you realize you are not moving you have already let off the brake and…
11500843 The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine revved loudly while the RPM fluctuated above 5,000 RPM. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the control valve body assembly and control valve were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The…
FARS counts every occupant death in a fatal crash, whatever the cause — it does not mean the vehicle was at fault or defective. Counts are not adjusted for how many of each vehicle are on the road.
