The Mazda CX-90 has been gaining attention for its sleek design and advanced features. However, like any vehicle, it’s not without its issues. Whether you’re considering purchasing one or you’ve already made the leap, it’s essential to be aware of the potential challenges that may arise.

Reliability is a key factor when deciding on a vehicle. With the CX-90 being a newer model, it’s still early to fully assess its long-term reliability. However, initial reviews show mixed feedback:

Yes! Mine is sluggish and seems to hesitate sometimes. It’s frustrating!

I’ve had issues with my transmission as well; it sometimes feels like it’s slipping, especially when going uphill.

What kind of hesitation are you talking about? I haven’t experienced that yet, but I’m curious if it’s something to watch for.

I’m glad to see this thread; I thought I was the only one! My suspension feels off, like there’s a weird bounce when I hit bumps.

Same here! It’s as if the shocks aren’t doing their job. I wonder if it’s a common issue.

I talked to a mechanic, and they said this could be a manufacturing flaw in the suspensions. Have you guys reported it to Mazda?

11

I haven’t yet, but maybe we should all reach out. If enough of us do, they might address it more seriously!

12

I’d be worried to report it. What if they blame me for the wear? Can we get any support from Mazda anyway?

13

Reporting it seems safe - they can’t blame you for problems out of your control. Plus, it’s worth raising awareness!

14

That’s true! It’s better than living in frustration. Plus, who doesn’t want to be a part of a little CX-90 support group?

I’ve been having some major issues with the infotainment system in my CX-90. It frequently freezes and sometimes won’t respond to touches. Anyone else facing this?

I totally relate! My navigation has been giving me wrong directions lately. I’ve had to rely on my phone for basic navigation.

17

I’ve had connectivity issues with my smartphone too. It takes forever to connect to Apple CarPlay! Has anyone found a workaround?

Same here! Sometimes, the system just drops the connection mid-drive.

I’ve noticed my CX-90’s updates can be hit or miss. I recently updated the software, but it hasn’t fixed my connection issues. Any suggestions?
