The accident occurred on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 14, which I reported to Enterprise, City of Falls Church, on the morning of November 15. Additionally, I provided to Enterprise email links to the many reports about breaking problems about the CX30 2021, 2022, and 2023 MAZA models and the reasons for their recall for repair. Here are the details about what happened. As I was trying to put the car in reverse from a standing position, the car, instead, lurched forward at great speed headed toward the Sun Trust bank. I had to use super-human strength to the brake pedal on the car to force it into a standing position. The damage to the car is due to scrapping some bark off one of the trees that separates the Sun Trust Bank property from the CapitalOne bank property where my car was parked.

Rear brakes became extremely worn very quickly. Had to replace in September of 2023 and purchased the car with 0 miles in February of 2022.

On March 9, 2023 - car brakes failed at a red light and vehicle collided with an oncoming car coming from the adjacent direction. Vehicle proceeded not to brake for an additional 30 sec minum at which the brakes finally engaged. There was no braking alert - the smart braking system did not engage and there was Forward Collision warning. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of oncoming passengers were at risk which could have been fatal Insurance representatives have not yet inspected. Absolutely no warning lots engaged.

The automatic braking engaged without warning and without cause. There was nothing directly in front of the car that was a possible collision threat. I suffered a neck injury as a result of the force in which the car stopped. Fortunately the driver behind me was able to stop. The car was taken to the original Mazda dealer and I was told this is a problem with my car but that they had no permanent fix, nor the ability to permanently shut off this system available until "corporate got back to them." They did not provide any paperwork and stated "we will call you when we have something." I now have a car I am scared to drive.
