I found a CX-90 with 5k miles. The car fax showed an oil change and a software update performed at the dealer I bought the car from. The previous owner didn’t like the seats lol. I got it for 35k because of the finance deals on new cars from Mazda and everyone assumed there must be something wrong with it, but never bothered asking why it was traded in so quickly. It’s a preferred plus. Blue Crystal Mica with tow package. I love the car and have had zero problems.

That was a very good video, very accurate and something a lot of dealers should watch that are ignorant...fortunately i have an excellent dealer! I've had my CX60 Homura since March 2023, didn't even sit in one before ordering it! Yes, it's had software updates galore, replaced front bushings, and its going in next week to have the sticky steering rectified. Pending is the 12v battery warning, the driver personalization system has been problematic since the last service and the revised boot lock is pending. The rear doors are tinny, but i don't open them enough to warrant the door card being pulled off and it being a lease vehicle. The question on whether i would get another one...absolutely, in a heart beat, no questions asked. It's performance is jaw dropping, the interior a pleasant place to be and its on road presence is very satisfying. I smile every time I get in it.

Almost all manufacturers deal with some sort of problem in the first 2 years on a new model. Hopefully they identify it and fix it.

Thank you for the informative video. It would be important to know whether currently delivered vehicles are now free of defects. Is there any information on this?

Excellent video. I have been aware of the issues trough Mazda forums. I also complained about the suspension and roadnoise, new dumpers and insulation on the doors were installed ASAP. I got as well two letters from Mazda to perform various updates which were done. I particularly did not experienced most of the issues described but know people who did,. Personally I am very happy with the car and do not regret my purchase. For some reason I believe the sale of the car was rushed however it is a very good car and Mazda has been relatively transparent and quick to react in my opinion. Unfortunately some unhappy customers were lost on the way.

We ordered our CX-90 July ‘23 and picked her up the end of Oct. and she’s been a dream. Soul Crystal Red w/Nappa White interior. We have bonded and are looking forward to the next 10 years together. Viv makes a statement on sunshine days. (Vivian Leigh-Scarlett). Happy to say no troubles here.

My mom asked me to help her buy a new car so i recommended the CX-90 in june of 2023, and it went on about 6 months with no problem, however lately around 20k miles, its been acting very strangely, and it even shut off on the interstate. For a new car thats unacceptable, I also read that some people suffered from stiff steering which is true, my vehicle had softer steering that stiffened overtime. I just hope nothing is wrong on the car for real.

Amazing video and information. Thank you.

Very informative, thanks

Had my cx60 phev just over a year and 10k miles. 30-40mph power surge is an ongoing concern. Squeaky front bush and the sticky steering were only trips to dealer. Looks great inside and out. I came from Mercedes and this car has a different temperament, wants to be in sport mode in open road. pot holed roads are it's nemesis.

I traded my Mazda cx-9 signature car that I loved in on a cx-90 last fall that I thought was going to be as safe and dependable as my 2018 cx-9 had been but boy was I wrong. The worse problem was the steering. Was hard to drive on the highway and stay in my lane. The stiffness and notchiness got worse over time. Also 1 problem I don’t think you talked about in the video is the cruise control believing something is coming in your lane on the right and slamming on brakes. Happens in curves and when big truck passes to the left. My cx-90 had been at the dealership since January 8th. I have a cx-9 loaner that drives wonderful.

I purchased My C X 60 top spec TAKUMI PHEV in march 23 ' in the UK. Now covered 8 k miles . I am very happy with it, yes it's had some software updates and the sticky steering was sorted with some new parts and is now perfect. I do find the lane keeping assist annoying if I forget to switch it off, however a lot of my driving is on country roads so this doesn't come in anyway. C X 60 handles well ,comfortable, and fast if required, economical for a big heavy car. When I First drove it the ride seemed a bit hard, the tyre pressures were to high, for my use. They were set max load carrying. Also the suspension " free's up " after a few thousand miles , like most new cars I've had.

Thankfully never had any issues with my ex-demo Homura PHEV, quite simply the best car I’ve owned in two decades. I feel hugely for those with issues shown in the video.

Had the PHEV since 2022. Had a few issues that you have listed, but as you say...these fixes only enhance. Definitely going to purchase another.

I have a Mazda CX-60, but hopefully not anymore from next week, never again! I ordered and received my Homura with all options new in May 2023. From the first two weeks, my frequent visits to the dealer began with various problems that are not being resolved. Apart from the issues mentioned in the video, I also have the following problems (verified by my dealer through test drives): - When accelerating quickly in EV mode, I hear a loud scraping sound. - From the fourth gear, you hear a whooping sound. - When my car is stationary and the engine is idling, you hear a clear rattling noise outside. Once you put the car in gear, it disappears. - While driving uphill in reverse in EV, the entire car starts shaking. - The driveshaft causes clattering sounds from 50 km/h, sounding as if a window is open. - My driveshaft has been replaced with a newer version. Now I have the sounds, but also a vibration from 50 km/h. No solution for now. - Experienced engine failure, the car suddenly stalled in the middle of the road. No issues found at the dealer. - Apple CarPlay often doesn't connect, or the connection suddenly drops while driving. - My car makes very strange noises while parked; our neighbors contacted us to check the car. - The tow bar no longer functions. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cHqIp3-sm2ifkac.htmlfeature=shared

Picked up a new cx60 in Dec '23. Transmission lag on take-off from zero, jump and jerk at low speed has been my experience. The more positive you are with the transmission, the less the issue, Inner city is not great but on the highway and through twisting rural/country roads, it is first class. Inside front door panel came free at 1000km because the panel clips had been mis-installed. Pretty poor from the factory. Most annoying issue is the airconditioner. The termostat surges the temperature up and down and refuses to stay at a consistent temperature unless you turn the i-stop off. With i-stop disengaged, the air-conditioner works fine. Honestly WTF! With that said, beautiful interior, comfortable, quiet and relaxing to drive on any trip outside of the inner city. Fuel economy from the 3.3 petrol turbo has been excellent, at least as good if not better as my previous 2.5 normally asperated 4 pot but with a tonne more power and torque on hand for over-taking etc. If the re-turned transmission fixes that issue, and they work out how to run an air conditioner, it will be a brilliant vehicle. So far 7/10.

So have these issues been resolved for the cx 90 as well with the launch of the cx70?

I got my cx60 2024 model (3.3L e-skyactiv G version) last week here in Dubai UAE. So far I’m extremely happy with the car. The transmission is so smooth, absolutely nothing abnormal noted so far. The car is very comfortable and the engine noise is just amazing! Face recognition and safety e features (lane assistance and dynamic cruze control) are some of the high technology features in this car in my view. I’m wondering the issues listed here doesn’t apply to my model (ps: mine is the mild hybrid version).

I never buy a new design of any automobile. I learned my lesson in 2003 when I bought a new Honda Accord EXL V6 coupe. It practically lived at the dealer for numerous problems from trim that curled up in the sun to the most disconcerting failure was the factory welds in the floor pan failed and the car made loud popping noises in turns and on start off. The dealer had to weld the floor pan back together, after that I traded it in for a Ford Expedition 4wd. I suspect these Mazda's will be fine cars after 2-3 years on the market. I currently own a CX5 Signature and I love it!!

We also got the Problem with the sticky steering... told my Mazda dealer about it, now im waitin` for respond

70000 km’s on my CX-90 PHEV. No major issues. Zoom Zoom!

Very interesting video. I've got the CX-90 PHEV in Canada and thus far haven't experienced any of the issues noted in your video. Mind you it's only got 5500 km on it. I installed a level 2 charger so almost all of my driving has been electric. I did pull my 2600 lb trailer on a very short trip (4 hours, back home from some service) and the engine/car did a great job as a tow vehicle, just as good as my old BMW X5 Diesel did. It also does well in the snow although I wish the ground clearance was higher for deep snow.

had my Homura PHEV since August and 7K miles in haven't had a single issue. Had one recall for software the engine shutdown. Ride is not perfect but the handling is great, the lane assist stuff is annoying but apart from that all good!

I absolutely LOVE my Turbo S PP. I have had zero problems and can't brag about it enough. I guess with any new model there will be new problems, but so far I've been very lucky.

I have 2024 CX60 inline 6, I am suffering from rattling noises from the sunroof and dashboard when driving on bumps and reflectors (cat’s eyes)

Filling up the last 10 liters in the diesel version takes ages due to a flat tank hose.

Bought my wife a CX-90 I hear about the jump ….. but honestly once you let the car warm up properly for about 5 min and then drive it runs smoothly. Just saying because my Silverado would do the same thing it seems all vehicles nowadays need to properly warm up and get the oil going. Other than that lord she has been a beautiful drive!

This is why you never want to buy the first model year of a car, especially a total redesign with lots of new technology. I am curious to see the introduction of the CX-70 tomorrow...hopefully a lot of these issues will have been resolved before they start showing up on the car lots. Of all the issues, the transmission ones (and the dumb shifter arrangement that they likely won't change) scares me the most because I am not so sure that software alone can fix it. Going without a torque converter with an electric motor sandwiched in the middle seems to leave a bit to be desired performance wise.

I received my CX60 PHEV last August and from day-1 the transmission was rough and the suspension is pathetic for the rear whenever going over tr tracks or speed humps. Spending AU$80k on a Mazda i thought i would be getting a luxury vehicle without these issues. Gonna buy an MG in the future, much smoother transmission ride and much much cheaper.

Just wanted to post this in case it happens to someone else in a similar situation. 2018 cx5 (out of powertrain) engine cracked confirmed at 53130 miles so should happened before that. I reached out to Mazda USA after bringing the car to the dealer ($195 for inspection mainly to have some documentation to Mazda USA an issue that I already knew after my homework and inspection). I told them my love for the car (which is true I do like Mazda design and plan to upgrade when cx5 has hydrid version) and how well I took care the car with pictures under the hood almost like new. Guess what, they offered $150 after 3 weeks of emailing (almost begging for help) with documentation diagnostics and video from the dealership and pictures of the car.. What a waste of time. A cylinder head should never crack at this low mileage, did I mentioned that I always change synthetic oil every 5K miles. I guess this is a known issue but not enough for some law firm to step in and do a lawsuit. A mechanic from reddit forum even pointed out it was a simple machining flaw that caused the issue and I quote "The lifter bore on cylinder 3’s exhaust was drilled too deep and caused the heads to crack."

The (rather big) issues are slowly fixed by Mazda... give it 1 year and the CX models should be great.

My rear sway bar on extremity are already attacked by rust despite only 3 drives on salty road.

I’m a owner of a CX-60 in Spain. I’ve been recolled to rewiew the software an the stearing. At the same time I tell to the service about the noises of the suspention and they fixed too. I’m very satified with the servce and now my car it’s fantastic. I have also a Volvo XC-60 and I have to say that I’ve had a lot of problems whit it and the service is not as satisfiying as Mazda service.

Waiting for Toyota to release a plug in Sienna or Highlander. I’ll pass on Mazda due to the issues mentioned. We will hold onto our 15 Forester. No Rush.

Mazda CX60 Owner, for six months, A bigger issue, however, is the transmission. The eight-speed transmition it’s unpleasantly clunky and jerky at low speed. The shift logic feels at odds with the torquey, rather than surfing the torque in stop-start traffic and holding the same gear as you blend in the throttle, the auto is overly keen to kick down, which makes the CX-60 feel cumbersome rather than effortless. It’s a ’box that rarely feels like it’s in the right gear at the right time, meaning it’s easy to ‘catch it by surprise’ and then be forced to wait as it shifts down a cog.

Had my new cx90 phlev for less than a month, engine light came on smh.

My 2022 Audi Q5 sunroof rattles already. My 2022 BMW 3 series had a rattle from driver side window somewhere… these issues exists in all cars. Don’t single out Mazda

Anyone had noise and rattle from the brake pedal at low speeds?

I have had a cx-60 for about a year now and have had some horrifying faults - no power whatsoever when pulling out in traffic, the drivers seat returning to rest while being driven, taking you away from the pedals, gear change shock just to name some. It's currently in having the steering done. We have had ghosting, where the car sees things that aren't there and throws up warning messages, the car slowing down as you go to overtake and many more issues. Mazda's refusal to accept these issues exist is the biggest issue by far as you do not feel you are being taken seriously and the car is dangerous. If you have the money buy the CX5 or go non-mazda in my books. Mazda should be considering compensation as this car was not ready for launch.

massive global media blitz when it was introduced but I was wondering at the time why the media was only allowed to gloss over the looks without any real test drives. Mazda is lucky that these issues have been about experience and comfort so far and haven't added up to major safety concerns yet.

My wife’s CX-90 PHEV is making a rubbing sound when shifting from gear 1-2. This is only audible in EV mode. Aside from that problem, we have 2 major complaints: 1. Throttle is not calibrated well. It takes way too much pedal effort to accelerate. The car isn’t slow by any means, but it feels dead slow unless you floor it. Simply bad calibration on Mazdas part. 2. The engine note is TERRIBLE on the PHEV. Again, when flooring it it’s fine and kind of sounds like it’s supercharged. But 99% of the time, it sounds like a cheap 4-banger! Why Mazda??? Hide the sound if it’s not a good one. Most people are not driving these things at 10/10 throttle. Aside from those two things and the transmission issue, it really is an awesome car. I have a 24 BMW X5 and I can honestly say the Mazda feels sharper than the BMW. The BMW feels better built though.

Electrical system leakage bricks the car and requires replacement of water heater. Cx-90 at dealer for a week now. Stif Steering issue also present at high speed. Mazda needs to address that water heater issue.

My CX60 rear suspension bounces on speed bumps or rough roads. I've complained this to my dealer and Mazda UK. But all I get is "This is how Mazda build it".

My CX-60 was delivered in Sept 2023. I had all the software updates and a recall for the sticky steering. I only need to have the rear suspension updated. I'm a happy CX-60 driver now. But.. Mazda should never ever again bring a car to market that is not finished... They did a big fuckup with this.

It is very normal having fews fixing issues , there is always a certain risk with new launches and probably since you seem to know the others very well hoping also all those brands still producing unreliable vehicles , but the important part and probably lost interest on your channel are the owners....✌️

The only great company without CVT

Future CX-70 owners are praying that all the problems have been fixed by now. Will the new model have new problems of it's own? Time will tell.

We have five CX-60 and we use them daily and around 5-6t swedish mile/year. It is lots of year sense we haw cars with so many errors and fouls. The most irritated problem is the irresponsible steering and a car how jumping around like a drunken kangeru on the highway. Errorcodes jumping up on every trip and the dealer is only a middle part to Mazda. I will not have a Mazda next time. Note: The car looks nice an so in the dealer shop, outside that store it is not so fun anymore. Will be a money dropping car and lots of people holds up the car because they alreade see the value drops alot😞

This video is BS, in my “OPINION”. I’ve been driving Mazdas for over 10 years now. I lease the 3, the 6 and now I own the CX9. I still have a few payments left and I’m going to get the CX90 for sure. I’ve never have any issues with any of them. I love Mazdas and I’m sticking with them. Buy a Mazda is you want a reliable, good quality, beautiful looking car.

Horrible car, currently own one for 5 months ( brand new ) has been at the dealer for 19 days in total and since yesterday the car has sprung a major oil leak at 10K miles and is now sitting at the dealer. Mazda should be ashamed of what they punt on the market. This is unworthy of the Mazda brand

US made? Seems problem free in Europe, but that's Japan made Mazda's

2024 CX 90 with 2,500 miles. Annoying rattle (getting worse) coming from steering column area. Ring any bells with anyone? I took it in for the steering recall, mentioned the rattle, but (of course), they could not seem to locate it. Awesome.

Very accurate from my experience. It taints the ownership experience and my opinion of the manufacturer in releasing a product that wasn't ready for release, and then been given the company line that it fine.

Sounds like these need some additional rounds of either design changes or materials used changes - Thought I wanted a CX-70, but no way now will wait for a couple of years

You go about looking for negative commentary. Please stop it. You're reaching. They are none of the negative stuff you're speaking of. Who paid you? Of all the exceptional things that people say about it, you look and found negative things on the web..

Hold one car xtra , none of this review is done by you ? Have you purchase or run extensive test your self ? You make data and summary by just compiling , from other media ? Nonetheless it’s good you bring up this issue , but a real life test , and data analysis done by your channel would be nice

I was considering mazda. But now I'll just keep my lexus. Don't want any headache 😅

Problemcar no 1 😢

I have 16000 miles in my CX60 PHEV since November 2023. It is the worst most infuriating car I have had in 20 years! Gearbox and adaptive cruise are so unrefined I mostly turn them off. AC is hot one min and cold the next. The car will break for no reason motorway or urban roads... I am expecting to be rear ended. Cruise sees cars that are not there "Ghost cars" and breaks or if they move...accelerate dramatically. Traffic sign recognition in UK sees national speed limit as "80MPH" when max in UK is 70MPH. This is a prototype and a very expensive one at £50K.

2024 cx90 owner. Dont be fooled by its appearance. Your considering buying one of the biggest pos on the road. Suspension squeaks, tech is garbage, engine malfunction light all at 10k and not the first time. They will never get this thing right. There is a reason there are so many for sale with low mileage. 1st and last mazda I will ever own.

Who is going to pay that much for a entry level car brand like Mazda. Cx90 will be biggest failure of Mazda

I have to say the CX60 is the worst car Ive bought. Just got rid of a cheap Chinese Haval H6 top spec for this Mazda and I'm so disappointed in it's failings, so much is wrong with this car. Technology that just doesn't work, rattles from the boot, intermittent steamed up windows, driver recognition failures, dangerous lane assist that is intrusive and dangerous and cannot be disabled. It's rubbish for the price and I'm sorry to say I'm regretting it.

Hmm, I’ll wait 3 years before I consider cx70

This is why you never get a car in the first two years of a new generation, let alone a new product. Let them iron out the kinks and refine the car

I have one also and it’s a pile of shit. I would not recommend this car to anyone I’ve lost complete power on two separate occasions thank god we weren’t on the freeway. It’s at Mazda as we speak. I’ve gone in 7 times cause the engine light has come on and they have no reason as to why it’s on. Mazda of America is most likely going to buy the car back

Damn Mazda what a waste

Excellent car PHEV CX60, had updates done and new gear for steering, going to get rubber bushes replaced. Still I expect that from a new model, just makes it a better car when updates done. Currently running 65MPG. up to 76MPG. You have to work out the best way to drive it for economy, when you do , and everyone is different, super car and it goes like shit of a shovel in sport mode.

I agree but still a lot cheaper and a sound investment.

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/aql3foOuZ5hhpY0.htmlsi=f5oG42pTjyzZExW0 I experienced an engine failure after 1 month driving it. I am really disappointed.

This video has definitely made my mind up ill be buying a bulletproof Honda crv

Don’t they road these cars before they release them to market 🤦‍♂️

I’m based in Australia and received one of the first CX 60s in my area. The car has some amazing points and things I love mostly around the engine and interior but I have to say the overall package is just not on the money ( and it is a lot in Australia) I have experienced nearly all of the things listed in in this video, poor transition between mild hybrid and engine , really harsh ride, system failures like driver recognition, car play failures, the lack of antenna on the car means there is virtually no digital radio signal for me and i had a really bad rattle in the roof linear which was fixed but seems to be coming back again. I sent my dealer an email with a list of everything wrong and was essentially fobbed off with “ get used to it” I would feel better if i knew updates would fix some of these issues but there has been no communication from the dealer or Mazda. Should have kept my Navara Ute …..so close but so far
