October 25, 2026Power Train

My wife did a u turn to turn around in a parking lot and the left front axle snapped pulling back onto a very busy road and almost got hit by two other vehicles. Nothing has been confirmed by a dealer or inspected by a dealership yet since it just happened this evening on October 25th 2026. No warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to the failure.

September 9, 2026Fuel/Propulsion System

Fuel gauge permanently stuck on empty. Computer code = P0463 Occurred on Jan 30, 2026. Mechanic provided error code at that time. Unsafe driving conditions where distance-to-empty calculations are disabled, standard fuel level indicator showing empty (or stuck on full) risking an unexpected engine stall on public highways and roads. I have NO idea how much Fuel is in the tank nor how many miles are left on tank which could lead to unexpected and sudden stops in high traffic situations. Yes: code was confirmed by Advanced Auto, London Motorworks, and personal computer. Fuel sensor stuck on "FULL" in May 18 then again stuck on empty since May 21. Vehicle inspected by mechanic on Jan 30, 2026 E

September 3, 2026Service BrakesForward Collision Avoidance

Premature brake wear exacerbated by heavy stop and go traffic conditions.

August 24, 2026Power TrainEngine

On multiple occasions the vehicle has not acceleratedfrom a stop while pushing the accelerator pedal. Have noticed this is usually on warmer days, with AC on half to full, within 3 minutes, and within 1 mile from leaving work for the day after car has sat parked. I am worried this will get worse and cause a potentially dangerous situation when turning left against traffic and the car doesn't accelerate.

July 21, 2026Visibility/Wiper

While driving 72mph on the interstate at 6am on 7/21/26 the sunroof exploded. No foreign objects made impact with the vehicle and there was no sudden temperature shifts. The glass had no previous defects and it shattered into tiny pieces, failing into the car. The sun shade was open at the time. The vehicle is being serviced at a glass repair shop who noted this is a common issue with Mazda sunroofs.
