Mazda Cx-30 problems

mazda logo

The Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Mazda. Based on the fourth-generation Mazda3, it debuted at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, to slot in between the CX-3 and the CX-5. It went on sale in Japan on 24 October 2019, with global units being produced at Mazda's Hiroshima factory, North and South American units built in Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico, Thailand and initial Australian units made at the AutoAlliance Thailand plant in Rayong, and China-market units produced in Nanjing by Changan Mazda.

Overview

The CX-30 features lightweight construction to improve performance and economy, and is offered in either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive.

According to Naohito Saga, the CX-30's program manager, the new model is targeted to drivers who are still single or are married and starting a family in the United States. Mazda chief designer Ryo Yanagisawa said that it will be more acceptable as a family car in Europe and Japan. Saga also noted that Mazda named the vehicle CX-30, to avoid confusion with the China-only CX-4.

The CX-30 was released in the UK in December 2019 and in North America in January 2020. It was launched in the Philippines on 28 November 2019, Malaysia on 15 January 2020, Indonesia on 28 January 2020, and Thailand on 6 March 2020. The 2.5 turbo model was released internationally in February 2021.

Common Mazda Cx-30 problems

The Mazda CX-30 has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from its owners. One of the most significant issues is related to the transmission, specifically in the 2020 model. Owners have reported lunging and chirping noises, which make the vehicle unsafe to drive. This problem was first noticed at around 40,000 miles.

Another common issue is related to the engine, particularly in the 2021 model. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received 54 complaints about the 2021 CX-30 model, with over half of them specifically about the engine. The reported problems include battery, network, and engine oil issues, with some owners expressing concerns about possible engine damage due to oil consumption issues.

Visibility and wiper problems are also common in the CX-30, with two complaints about warped glass impairing visibility, particularly in the windshield area. Electrical system issues have been reported five times, with some of these problems leading to auto light and power steering malfunctions.

The vehicle's Forward Collision Avoidance system has also been a source of concern, with three complaints about unexpected automatic braking that nearly caused accidents. Other issues include problems with powertrain, service brakes, vehicle speed control, and airbags.

The 2020 and 2021 Mazda CX-30 models are considered years to avoid due to potential reliability issues, with most complaints related to the engine, fuel propulsion system, and service brakes.

In summary, the Mazda CX-30 has several common problems related to the transmission, engine, visibility, electrical system, and Forward Collision Avoidance system. The 2020 and 2021 models have been reported to have the most significant issues, making them years to avoid for potential buyers.

Mazda Cx-30 2021
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-10
  • Date Complaint: 2024-10-11
  • VIN: 3MVDMBBL2MM
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
  • Summary: For 4-5 weeks the car often would not start. Jump the battery and it would start. Run fine 1-2 days then require another jump. At end required jump nearly every time it was to be used. Presently at Mazda dealer. They confirm the problem. They cannot find the cause. Car has been there two weeks. Waiting for assistance from manufacturer. I researched this on the internet. Visited many Mazda forums an 'do it yourself" forums. This seems to be a common problem. NO where have I read about a satisfactory solution. In fact, it sounds like there is none. Dealer's proposal so far has been to replace rear wiring harness at $7000. It sounds to me that there is a manufacturing problem. Who ever heard of a wiring harness go bad? I believe this to be a poor electronic sensor/device, or perhaps poor wiring. Either case it would be the manufacturers fault. And I believe that the manufacturer should repair it at their expense. I grew up in a garage and never heard of anything like this. The car approximately 21000 miles. All of them are easy highway miles with no abuse or offroad/dirt road use. Yesterday my wife heard about a Subaru that was doing the same thing. Maybe someone in Japan is manufacturing faulty parts. If so that is the manufacturers problem, not mine. So far the car has not stalled going down the highway but one drives it with an uneasy feeling. Stopping without warning on the roadway would be very dangerous. Also, one could get stranded in poor conditions or environment, and that makes this a safety issue. I have attached file regarding battery etc. test I performed. These test have been confirmed by the dealer.
Mazda Cx-30 2021
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-09-19
  • Date Complaint: 2024-09-26
  • VIN: 3MVDMBBL0MM
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
  • Summary: The contact owns a 2021 Mazda CX-30. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The messages "Engine Malfunction" and "Computer System Issues" were displayed. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. Another driver assisted the contact in jumpstarting the vehicle. The contact was able to drive to her friend's residence. The contact then drove to her residence the following day. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle jerked and the failure recurred. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure and provided an estimate for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,590.

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-09-24
  • Date Complaint: 2024-09-24
  • VIN: 3MVDMBDY5NM
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: Low oil level message on cluster 1000 mile away from my oil change mileage indicated by the dealer.
Mazda Cx-30 2020
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-09-10
  • Date Complaint: 2024-09-18
  • VIN: 3MVDMBEM8LM
  • Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
  • Summary: Defective windshield. There is visible warping in the windshield and Mazda won't cover the cost of the replacement. This is a known issue.
Mazda Cx-30 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-16
  • Date Complaint: 2024-09-09
  • VIN: 3MVDMBCLXNM
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: I travelled to Phoenix for a concert and after the concert I was driving back to my hotel room. I was traveling on the freeway and I heard a popping sound like a gunshot was hitting my window. I slowed down and ducked, thankfully no traffic surrounding me, only behind me. No vehicles were in front of me, as it was late at night, only two vehicles behind me and no overpasses. I pulled off the road, and found that my sunroof had exploded. It seems like the glass had blown from the inside shooting outward. It was very scary and thankfully no vehicles or heavy traffic as it would have caused an accident if there was. I’m not sure how anything could have hit the window because there was no traffic and no one in front of me to kick up debris. I did google and see that pressure changes have been causing this to happen to other vehicles and the only thing I can think of is the pressure changes of traveling to a new city which is very hot and driving with my ac on for long period of time possibly caused the sunroof to explode. It is currently awaiting repair at my local Mazda dealership now. The vehicle is just under 2 years old and has no damage. I don’t currently have any invoices because it’s still waiting at my local dealership.
Mazda Cx-30 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-20
  • Date Complaint: 2024-09-03
  • VIN: 3MVDMBEY9NM
  • Components: STEERING,STRUCTURE
  • Summary: The steering wheel seems to prematurely wear on newer Mazda vehicles including my Mazda CX-30 from 2022. Mazda claims hand sanitizer to be the main culprit but I suspect quality issues and materials to play a factor. Many can be found with wear on the steering wheel even starting with less than 50 thousand miles. Some have received warranty claims while others are denied.
Mazda Cx-30 2021
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-07-31
  • Date Complaint: 2024-08-26
  • VIN: 3MVDMBAL0MM
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
  • Summary: Battery would be completely drained overnight if the doors are not locked.
Mazda Cx-30 2021
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-03
  • Date Complaint: 2024-08-17
  • VIN: 3MVDMBDY0MM
  • Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE
  • Summary: While I was driving on I-90, I lost control of the acceleration of my vehicle. The vehicle was towed and has been diagnosed with a failed transmission! The car would not accelerate or it would accelerate in bursts or rapidly slow down. I was able to pull over and the car failed to move at all after. My safety and others was put at risk as I lost the ability to control the speed of the vehicle on a road where the speed limit is 65mph in traffic around me. When the problem began no lights illuminated, until ~30 seconds in the yellow engine failure light illuminated and then the yellow transmission failure light illuminated. The car was brought to a dealership for inspection and they diagnosed it as a transmission failure. This is unacceptable for such a young vehicle (2021). It should be noted that the car manufacturer immediately approved the replacement the same day it was diagnosed (dealership said it usually takes 48 hours), but the part is back-ordered for months (probably because they know this is happening and trying to cover it up).

  • VIN: 3MVDMBDM2MM
  • Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE
  • Summary: Car lunged forward when lightly stepping on the gas while making a turn onto a busy street. Then it later lagged in responding when I stepped on the gas. About 5 minutes later, the car dashboard lit up and said there was a transmission error. Mechanic's diagnosis found code P0756 for a shift solenoid B stuck off. The car is unsafe to drive.

  • VIN: 3MVDMBDY7MM
  • Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: Low engine oil light is on again, I had one at 4600 miles and keep happening every 5-6000 miles. I had 7!! oil changes on a car that is 2.5 years old and it is at 29000 miles. I am sitting at the dealership and they are telling me nothing is wrong and despite of the valve stem cap replacement available they are not willing to replace it. In addition I had my battery die and needed to be replaced at 23 months after purchasing a brand new car - due to a faulty system. This is getting extremely upsetting. And dealearships do not care.

Latest negative Mazda Cx-30 car reviews

  1. Rogelio Pouros 2025-05-06

    Vehicle year: 2022

    Positives: The SUV looks great and has powerful performance. The handling and interior are also impressive. Negatives: The backseat room and MPG could be improved. Additionally, the gas tank is quite small which can be frustrating. The headroom is also lacking.

  2. Haley Abernathy 2025-03-23

    Vehicle year: 2021

    The car was great for the first 20k miles, but then I had to pay for some precautionary charges to keep the warranty, which cost over $1200. Unfortunately, after 36k miles, things started to go wrong one after another. The calipers froze up and the differential for the all-wheel drive needed to be fixed. I decided to get rid of the car since the cost of repairing it was more than buying a new 2022 model.

  3. Carmelo Weimann 2025-03-12

    Vehicle year: 2021

    I really like this vehicle for its handling, styling, and comfortable feel. However, before purchasing, there are a few things you should be aware of. The gas tank is quite small, only 12 gallons, and in the winter I'm only getting 24.9 miles per gallon. This means you'll need to fill up every 10 gallons, which can be frustrating if you're used to a larger tank. Additionally, the rear view is practically non-existent without removing the rear middle seat headrest, and the standard base model does not come with blind spot monitoring. Despite these flaws, I still really like this vehicle and would highly recommend it. Just be aware of these issues before making your purchase.

  4. Walter Becker 2025-02-08

    Vehicle year: 2023

    I purchased a 2023 CX-30 GT turbo in November 2022 and picked it up on January 10th, 2023. Overall, it's a cute and compact SUV with great handling and nice power. It has decent options for the price and an impressive package. The car looks sharp and has a great sound system. It handles well on curves and has nice acceleration. However, it may not be the best fit for taller people, as the cabin can be a bit cramped. Additionally, there is some cabin noise when driving and the key fob may not be easy to use for people who need glasses. The cup holder location in the front is also a bit awkward for taller cups. Despite these minor drawbacks, the CX-30 GT turbo is a great car. After driving through two decent snow storms in Baltimore, Ontario, Canada in the last two weeks, I decided that this car is not the best fit for me. While it has AWD and decent snow tires, it does not drive well in the snow with over 3 to 5 inches of accumulation. It hydroplanes and is too light. I thought of adding sandbags to the cargo area, but ultimately decided to trade it in for a new Jeep Cherokee on March 16th, 2023. As a confident and capable female driver, I felt nervous and unsafe driving the CX-30 GT turbo in Canadian weather.

  5. Lincoln Auer 2024-11-28

    Vehicle year: 2021

    I own a 2021 CX30, and I am dissatisfied with its performance. The battery is not designed for cold weather, and each time the temperature drops below -15, it discharges automatically, requiring a boost. Additionally, the cruise control does not function correctly when a car stops in the road, such as at a red light. It fails to detect the stopped car, causing the vehicle to come to an abrupt halt with the emergency brake. These issues require immediate attention and resolution.

Latest positive Mazda Cx-30 car reviews

  1. Hadley Leannon 2025-05-26

    Vehicle year: 2023

    Hi there! I recently had to decide on a new car and I ended up going with the Mazda CX-30 from the dealership, even though I was originally looking at the Hyundai Kona. Both vehicles were in the 30K range, but the Mazda just felt like the better choice for me. The interior was much nicer and more comfortable, with leatherette seats and power seats, which the Hyundai didn't have. Plus, the Mazda has AWD and a more powerful motor at 192 hp. The ride and control of the road were both really good, although I did have to get used to the center knob for controlling the gadgets. The only downside was that the Mazda doesn't have heated mirrors, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, I'm really happy with my decision and I would definitely recommend checking out the Mazda CX-30 if you're in the market for a new car!

  2. Ernie Reilly 2025-05-24

    Vehicle year: 2021

    Best Looking Small SUV. Fit and finish (tight). Premium model (Awesome). Technology (very nice, including new Heads-up Display). Ride (Impressive). Gas Mileage (Good - up to 33 mpg). Driver in a cockpit experience with very comfortable seats and easy access controls and information system at your fingertips. Interior - sharp, sporty, contrast stitching. My first Mazda (I'm very impressed).

  3. Jefferey Borer 2025-05-21

    Vehicle year: 2020

    I was considering a Kia Seltos, Hyundai Kona, Honda HRV, etc. However, I found out about the Mazda CX30. After test driving it, I knew it was the perfect car for me. It has tons of safety features, comfortable leather memory seats, good MPG, AWD, sunroof, XM radio, WiFi, Bose stereo, head-up display, and enough room for my needs. I must say, it feels very luxurious for the price. I would definitely recommend it!

  4. Flavio Berge 2025-05-19

    Vehicle year: 2023

    As a long-time high performance sports car owner, I recently helped my son pick out a small SUV for his commuting and weekend adventures. I was thoroughly impressed with the ride and handling of the car, and it's surprisingly quick for an SUV. Equipped with the turbo 2.5 engine, it has more than enough power. The interior is beautifully designed, with a particularly impressive HUD (heads up display) that is both well-executed and useful. While the interior space is not huge, it's perfect for my single son and provides ample luggage room. His car came with a stunning tricoat red paint, although if we had the choice, we would have opted for a different color as those paints can be difficult to match and touch up. However, given the limited selection during the pandemic, we were thrilled with the purchase. The all-time AWD works exceptionally well, and we are confident in Mazda's reputation for reliability. There are few cons to this car, although we aren't fans of the console's rotating dial for selecting menus. The GPS works well, and the entertainment system is fine, although my son has yet to connect it to his cell phone. The car has been trouble-free for nearly a year, and while the fuel economy is okay, it's hard to resist the turbo's power. One neat feature is that it can use regular or premium fuel, and if you opt for premium, it recognizes it and gives you a bit more horsepower. For commuting, my son goes with the cheaper regular fuel, and it still has plenty of power. The interior is especially nice for an SUV, with a dark brown dash and cream perforated heated seats that are perfect for snowy weather. The seats are comfortable, with power seats on the driver's side and manual on the passenger side, which I prefer. Even for my son and me, both 6'1Headroom is fine too, even with the powered sunroof. That sunroof is the one thing that came with the car, but we would have preferred to skip that option. I have owned other cars that came with sunroofs and found them to be mostly useless. A sunroof will not give you the same experience as a convertible. It can get hot with it open, and frankly, who spends all their time looking at the sky? ;-)

  5. Kolby Feest 2025-05-19

    Vehicle year: 2020

    The CX30 is a fantastic midsize SUV that comes with every bell and whistle you could want. The seats are incredibly comfortable and come with 2 memory settings. It also gets great gas mileage, making it an excellent choice for those who want to save on fuel costs. While there are blind spots on both sides, the car comes with blindsided warning sounds and an indicator sound when you veer from your lane, making it a safe choice. The advanced braking systems are also excellent and can stop the car at a set distance, which is a great safety feature. Although the rear window view is partially blocked by the tall back seat, it's not enough to be a real issue. While it may be difficult to locate all the functions without help from the dealer, the optional Navigation System is a nice touch. Other than those few minor issues, this SUV is a great buy for the cost. It's loaded with accessories without being cost-prohibitive like Ford, Honda, and Toyota. It's fuel-efficient and very comfortable to drive. This is my first Mazda after three Hyundai cars, and I highly recommend the Mazda over all of the Hyundai models I have owned. If you're looking for an SUV that's not a huge behemoth, this is the car to buy.
