Unintended acceleration during parking maneuversVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL8 complaints2023-07-07 → 2026-05-02cx5-2023-unintended-acceleration
  • 11547758 At 2:00 on a clear afternoon I was slowly coasting into a right hand turn into a parking space, and lightly tapping the brake to finalize the stop, when the car accelerated HARD forward over a curb and a sidewalk into the brick wall of a building.
Sunroof glass spontaneous shatteringVISIBILITY/WIPER5 complaints2023-06-29 → 2024-04-29cx5-2023-sunroof-shattering
  • 11529630 Without any warning there was a loud and abrupt explosion from within the vehicle. As I looked in my rear view mirror I saw glass blowing in the wind behind me. I suddenly detected wind blowing above my head and realized my sunroof had most likely been the glass I saw behind me.
  • 11548627 The sunroof spontaneously exploded outward while my wife was driving on the interstate. She was not near other vehicles or under an overpass for flying debris. We have had the vehicle for only 9 months and she works from home so it is kept in a garage for the majority of its life.
Engine oil consumption and low oil pressureENGINE5 complaints2023-09-13 → 2026-06-26cx5-2023-engine-oil-consumption
  • 11633979 The Low Oil Warning Light comes on between oil changes. I think this is the 3-4th time. I will have to add 1 quart of oil to the car after 3000-4000 miles. I only have about 33,000 miles on this vehichle and do the oil changes myself.
  • 11544406 Between May and September this year, the MyMazda app has alerted me two times that the oil level was low. I manually checked and it was indeed low. The first time I brought it to a Firestone service center to have it checked and they verified that the level was down considerably to the bottom dot on the stick.
Passenger seat occupancy sensor false activationSEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM2 complaints2025-02-19 → 2026-06-03cx5-2023-occupant-sensor-seatbelt
  • 11741933 The passenger seat occupancy sensor goes off intermittently, causing an extremely distracting seatbelt alarm in the vehicle during operation. This has occurred to me while driving on a highway; I deeply lost focus on controlling the vehicle as the alarm started suddenly…
  • 11643803 Small amount of weight such as keys or phone is triggering the Occupant sensor in the front passenger seat. This issue just started and I am finding a lot of complaints regarding this.
Driver-side exterior mirror vibration at speedVISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR, VISIBILITY/WIPER2 complaints2024-05-06 → 2025-09-04cx5-2023-mirror-vibration
  • 11684928 The driver-side power door mirror on my 2023 Mazda CX-5 vibrates excessively at highway speeds above 75 mph, especially on windy days. The vibration is so severe that it causes a blurred and distorted view, making it difficult to clearly see vehicles in adjacent lanes.
  • 11587268 The driver's side mirror tends to vibrate or shake more than the passenger side mirror, especially at speeds above 50-60 mph or in windy conditions. It has been a common complaint among Mazda owners for quite a while, and it seems to be a design flaw that Mazda has not yet addressed…

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.
