NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2026 Mazda CX-50. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
I was pulling into a parking spot and the emergency braking system applied the brakes very forcefully as if a collision was imminent. I backed up and saw nothing in the parking spot and then proceeded to pull back into the same spot with no issue. There was a loud and rhythmic thumping sound that I perceived as the abs system engaging. This is a rental car so I am returning it to the company, National rental car, and swapping out for a new vehicle. I contacted Mazda about this and was given a case # 00434431.
