What owners report
The fuel filler door on my 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid premium was defective and would not open due to a sticking fuel tank shut-off valve -- a documented known issue across the 2023 through 2025 CX-50 lineup. The vehicle was delivered brand new with this pre-existing defect without disclosure. The inability to refuel the vehicle creates a direct safety risk of being stranded without fuel with a minor child as a passenger. The defect was eventually confirmed and repaired under warranty however it should have been caught during pre-delivery inspection before the vehicle was delivered to the customer.
I own a brand-new 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid that is currently under the manufacturer's warranty. I am reporting an intermittent failure of the vehicle to respond normally to a selected driving direction. During the first incident on August 28, 2026, I had shifted the vehicle into Reverse. The vehicle indicated that Reverse was selected, but when I pressed the accelerator, the vehicle did not move or respond as expected.

I was unable to get the vehicle to operate normally until I turned the vehicle completely off, waited, and re
On several occasions, moving the gear selector from Reverse to Drive, the transmission has failed to engage Drive, with the dashboard displaying "D" and the vehicle moving in reverse upon throttle application.

The dealership was unable to duplicate the condition and found no software updates or other notices from Mazda addressing the issue.
I parked this hybrid rental vehicle on a steep street facing uphill and remained in the car with it on for about 15 to 30 minutes. When I put the vehicle back in Drive, released the brake pedal, and pressed the gas pedal to drive away, the car quickly free-rolled backwards. There was no throttle response, and I had to quickly brake to stop the car from its quick backwards descent. Multiple attempts to correct the issue, including various combinations of placing the car back in Park and back in Drive, engaging the electronic parking brake, etc., had no effect. There was no throttle response at all when in Drive, and no ability to control the free-roll of the car after pressing the gas ped
The contact's daughter owns a 2026 Mazda CX-50. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving 40 MPH and decelerating to turn into a parking lot, the front passengerâs side wheel detached and fell in underneath the vehicle.
