Mazda CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid

"Very rough driving. Never seem to know which gear to use. Stutters on acceleration."

""Thwe throttle assembly needed to be replaced - caused a catastrophic failure in that if you were driving on the freeway and the problem occured, the engine shut down and only allowed you to go 8 miles an hour. The hybrid system refused to allow the electric engine to take over, even if there was charge available. Were fortunate to be in the right lane when it happened the first time. Repair was covered under warrenty. Car also has a problem in that going uphill with electric motor, sometimes the gas engine doesn't kick in when more power is needed.""

"2 problems. Throttle and throttle body had to be replaced. Radiator leak caused radiator and water pump to be replaced"

""hybrid malfunction that causes the car to seize, will not start nor go into gear, or to charge. car can't even be towed on flatbad because the transmission is stuck on park. it was in the dealership for 4 months while they try to diagnosis and fix the problem""

""There was a power leak that caused the vehicle to disable itself when driving. It took a month to fix and we had to rent a car for part of the time, as Mazda didnt have a loaner vehicle. The power leak had to do with a water heater leaking.""

""The model I have has a sensor under the rear bumper that I use with my foot to signal the car that I want to open the rear hatch. My success rate with this switch working is about 25%. The make the matter worse, when I charge the car in my garage, I have to drag the charging cable from the left garage wall (where my charger is located) to the right rear corner of the car (where the charging port is located. About 10-15% of the time, if the cable goes along the floor under the rear bumper, the car senses it and it opens the rear hatch! As the car is large (3 row SUV) and it barely fits in the garage and, if the garage door is down, the hatch will bang into the garage door and damage the paint/metal unless I jump in between the hatch and the garage door! It is frustrating and my spouse is worried I will get crushed one day between the hatch and the garage door!""

"This remote starter is causing an engine light every time you use it"

"The tailgate won't raise all the way. It stops about 4" short and I have hit my head on it no less than 300 times. I would literally not purchase this vehicle on this issue alone. I have checked other Mazda models with lift gates and they don't do this. Mazda service says there is no fix."

"Swirling of paint and fine scratches on 1 door on delivery"

""With an average of once or twice a week, while driving on the electric motor, I would get a message in the center screen Mi Drive Unavailable and the car would then switch to the ICE engine. This is random and frustrating as I paid extra for a PHEV and the car forces me use the ICE!""

"Came home vacation car was dead in the garage. once the AAA tech jumped the 12 volt battery the car came to life. Went to dealer he could not find any problem with the car."
