Is the windshield in your vehicle blurry, distorted, or defective? You may be eligible to join our Mazda CX-30 windshield class action investigation.

The 2021 Mazda CX-30 is only the second model year for this car. But, it’s not entirely new because it is based on the fourth-generation Mazda3.

After the launch of the first Mazda CX-30 in 2020, Lemberg Law assessed complaints to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). We found that powertrain and fuel system issues were among the top complaints. Electrical system and service brake problems were also common.

More recently, we launched a class action investigation that relates to oil consumption issues with the 2021 Mazda CX-30.

We also note that unexplained low engine oil is one of the top complaints CX-30 owners make to NHTSA. And it is a problem we will deal with in more detail in this article.

Most Common Problems with the 2021 Mazda CX-30

Of the 12 consumer complaints with NHTSA so far, engine problems top the list with 4 complaints. Electrical system problems remain high on the list too. These, and forward-collision avoidance problems, are each discussed in 3 complaints. But they are duplicated elsewhere.

There are 2 visibility/wiper complaints. Steering and vehicle speed control problems also feature in 2 complaints each. The 12th complaint is that a new vehicle was sold with an open safety recall that wasn’t disclosed to the buyer.

2021 Mazda CX-30 Engine Problems

Battery, network, and engine oil issues feature within the Engine complaint category.

In-vehicle network malfunctions in one CX-30 led to auto light and power steering malfunctions. The owner was alerted in a warning message to have the vehicle inspected. The car wouldn’t start and had to be towed to the dealership.

Warning lights and a failure to start were also the issues for another complaint. The battery was replaced by the dealer. This was after an unauthorized tow company took the vehicle to the dealer’s lot where it was stolen – and later found!

Two complaints relate to oil consumption issues. They both express concern about possible engine damage.

One of the complainants was told there is a technical service bulletin (TSB) covering the issue. But the problem is, “It appears at this time (that) Mazda is unable to determine the root cause.” This CX-30 owner was told “to take the vehicle to the dealer every time I have this experience. I am worried about the potential impact and lifespan of the engine.”

2021 Mazda CX-30 Forward Collision Avoidance Problems

There are 3 forward-collision avoidance problems on file with NHTSA. Of these, 2 relate to unexpected, automatic braking that nearly caused accidents. While there are no explanations, one of the CX-30 owners says there were a couple of black flies on a sensor. Could this have been the cause?

One of the forward-collision avoidance problems seems to relate to the electrical system. While driving at only 8 mph, the brake assist warning light went on, and the car spontaneously braked when there was nothing in front to avoid.

2021 Mazda CX-30 Visibility/Wiper Problems

Both the complaints that relate to visibility/wiper problems relate directly to the windshield. In both cases, the glass is warped and impairs visibility.

One of the complaints reports that it is a well-known issue on several Mazda forums. Learn more about reports regarding distorted windshield problems in the 2021 Mazda CX-30.

What to do if your 2021 Mazda CX-30 is a lemon? Your Lemon Rights

When a manufacturer admits they cannot identify the root cause of a problem, this is cause for concern. Apart from anything else, if they can’t fix it, the problem may recur many times.

A lemon, by definition, has persistent defects that substantially impair the safety, use, and value of cars and other items. So, if your car cannot be repaired, there’s a good chance you’ve bought a lemon.

In that situation, it’s a good move to let experts take over and negotiate a settlement of some sort for you.

Lemberg Law specializes in lemon law and helps to solve your lemon problems at no cost to you. Options we negotiate include replacement cars, buybacks, trade-ins, and cash settlements. It depends on the car and circumstances. But the good news for you is that the law insists Mazda must pay legal fees for lemon cases.

So, call our Helpline and we’ll see how we can help.

I purchased a mazda cx-30 october 2021 - in april of 2022 the oil light came on mileage 4,672 and I decided to have just have the oil changed at hello mazda of san diego. They said they wouldn't charge me for the oil only the service charge. And mentioned that something is wrong and will top the oil off at no charge in the future. Last month in november I took a short trip to tucson az to visit family the oil light came on once again mileage 10,079 I brought the car into jim click mazda tucson and after several hours I got the car back. They had topped off the oil with no charge. I asked how low the oil was. The service man quickly said just a little low under a quart. I didn't want to argue with him- but I checked the oil stick, and it was below a quart and I know a light most likely won't come on without it being at least a quart low.

The car's battery has failed two times. The second time is after the battery was replaced -- so the problem was with two different batteries. Both times, I had to call & wait for roadside assistance. Dangerous situation. Both times, the car required a jump-start then a full charge. The dealer denies a battery problem or electrical system problem. However, a mazda roadside assistance service provided advised me on 12/3/2022 that the (second) battery was dead and that something in the electrical system is clearly draining the battery. The car is driven every day. *** several times a week there is a dashboard notice of "low battery risk". *** this has been consistent, starting with the first week of owning the car. It appears that something(s) in the electrical system is draining the battery to the point of failure. The car is 18 months old with @ 16,500 miles driven. It is a 2021 mazda cx-30 turbo premium plus. It is available for inspection.

Notable distortion in the windshield horizontally through driver and passenger areas. Dealership has been helpful in replacing the windshield three times thus far. The most recent windshield is clearer but still with notable distortion and is considered an aftermarket windshield. Mazda is aware of the issue and was told they are giving pushback on replacements. This issue is noted numerous times on multiple mazda forums with no solution. From conversations with the dealership, mazda is claiming this is normal especially close to the pillars due to vehicle design. This issue causes driver fatigue and distance perception problems while driving which is considered a road safety concern. Paperwork and vehicle are available for inspection upon request.

I have the 2. 5 liter turbocharged engine in my cx-30. It currently has approximately 18,000 miles after a little over a year of ownership. So far I have had to put in 3 quarts of oil in that time. The engine/low oil indicator comes on about every 4,000 miles. When I check the oil, it shows that it is down a quart. I have taken it in for regular service (oil and filter, tire rotation) twice now, and have brought this to the attention of the service advisor who tells me that this is normal for turbo engines. I disagree with this assessment. I will bring it up again later this week when it goes in for its third service. No new car should consume oil at the rate this one does. I have also observed blue smoke from the exhaust on start-up. I owned another turbo mazda model a few years ago that did not do this. I have found what appears to be a technical service bulletin from mazda regarding all turbocharged 2021 models built prior to september 2021. (tsb-01-012-21) my greatest concern is that this will only become worse and end up causing major damage to the engine and/or make the car unsafe to drive.

While driving, low engine oil light illuminated. Vehicle has 9968 miles at time of incident and had one oil change at 5873 miles. So in the span of 4095 miles, engine had burned enough oil that none was showing on dipstick at time of incident. Vehicle was taken to dealership where it was confirmed that there were no leaks and the engine was consuming oil at a rapid rate. Mazda has issued a bulletin to dealerships concerning this issue, so the company is aware a problem exists with this engine. Had the oil level decreased to a low enough level, the engine could have feasibly failed, which could have resulted in a dangerous situation if it happened on the highway or in heavy traffic. Mazda currently has no fix and encourages that oil be added when necessary. Given the unpredictable frequency of the oil consumption, this does not feel like a safe solution, putting the onus entirely on the owner.

    Our 2015 mica blue iTouring Mazda 3 has 75,000 miles and is a beauty. Two months ago, the battery failed and was recharged by Mazda. Then we had no audio. Took to dealer, said a reboot fixed the problem. We knew before we left the dealer that the problem still existed. The car needs a new CMU, projected to be available in August! We have no sound. No Bluetooth, no GPS audio and only stored locations. No music.. no radio, no Pandora. Safety issues re no Bluetooth or GPS audio. Not comfortable driving car. We have 9-year bumper to bumper warranty, until November 2023. Trade-in value will be lowered by no CMU. We would prefer to keep car but not without CMU. Nice to have no car payments (other than on our lease CX-30). What options do we have?!?

    I too have harness damage that I have been waiting to be fixed since Thanksgiving. Mine was chewed on by a rat. My automatic wipers go on when it’s not raining and many times don’t go on when it does. My gas cap door does not want to open…with many pushes I give up and minutes later it opens. I think my warning sensors seem screwy…they go off at random times and scare the heck out of me. My 1st new car and I can’t say that I am a happy customer!

    My car bumper and wiring has been eaten by squirrels twice with a nice big nest to boot. I have wire and harness damage after owning the car for only a month. No other car on my street has had an issue. I heard my 2021 CX30 was made in Mexico. Thought Mazda was made in Japan. I’m told the CX5 is made in Japan?
    I also read Mazda uses bio plastics made of 88% corn and 12% petroleum. Could this be the reason?
