   While unloading cargo from the rear of my 2025 Mazda CX-70, I activated the power liftgate(key was in pocket ) to close while i was reach back cargo . As the liftgate was closing, it struck me in my head and continued closing instead of stopping or reversing. I had to quickly move out of the way to avoid further injury. The obstacle detection feature did not appear to function as expected. I am concerned this could cause injuries to other owners, especially children or older…

   Multiple instances while driving on the highway with cruise control and lane keep assist on - on a bend slight turn the car veered into the other lane across the lane lines - even with other cars present. Additionally, it does not auto steer away from a blind spot collision - had I not noticed the car there would have been an accident.

   This happens often. On a trip to Florida of 1200 miles, it happened 12 times each way. After being slowed in the right lane by a car in front driving slower tan my set cruise speed, I signal and move to an empty (in front of me) left lane. Instead of accelerating to resume my set cruise speed, the car decelerates abruptly by as much as 10 mph. If a car is following me and most logically is expecting me to accelerate after moving to the left lane, that car's driver is…

   While driving at a speed just under 45 mph, my Mazda CX-70 suddenly displayed and chimed “Hybrid System Malfunction. Have Vehicle Inspected.“. This warning startled me because I am familiar with issues since I had briefly owned a CX-90 PHEV the first year this model came out and it had the same exact problem. I discovered that this issue carries serious safety concerns and ended up convincing the dealer to swap the vehicle for a CX-90 inline 6 gas only model after hours of…

   This has occurred numerous times. Using the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle decelerates as I approach a slower moving vehicle. That is what it should do. When I move from the right lane to the open left lane, instead of accelerating back to the set cruise speed, the car decelerates as much as 10 mph before finally regaining its mind and accelerating to the set speed. I have had cars following me that are expecting my car to accelerate that are surprised that the car…
