We have had this 2025 Mazda CX-50 hybrid for a couple of months. On January 21, 2025, my wife tried to start it after shopping at a Dollar store. All the warnings lights came on, blinking, and the car was unresponsive to drive. After repeated attempts to start the car, the warning lights, finally, did go off, but a message of "hybrid system malfunction have vehicle inspected" came on. It finally started and allowed her to drive home. The alert about the hybrid system went off. So far, it has not happened again. I called the service department, and all they said was to bring it in if it does it again. No one has looked at it. Really wasn't any risk to her since she was in town. But had it happened somewhere where she didn't have phone service, it could have put her at risk. I don't really know what happened, but the biggest thing is the worry that it will do it again.
