What 308 owners told NHTSA about the 2024 Mazda Cx-90-mhev

The lower fuel pump is going out. It is a known issue with the car. I was driving out of town and the car started to stall. My steering has become ruggish while on the trip as well, and steering was complicated during heavy winds. The car has been inspected by dealer and both warning lights have been cleared. But the issues still remain.

I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2024 Mazda CX-90 (VIN: [XXX] ). My vehicle previously received the steering recall repair related to increased steering effort/power steering concerns. Despite the recall remedy being completed, I continue to experience intermittent abnormal steering behavior consistent with the ongoing NHTSA investigation into post-recall “sticky steering” concerns on repaired CX-90 vehicles. Symptoms include intermittent steering resistance, a notchy or sticky feeling during small steering corrections, and inconsistent steering return-to-center behavior. The issue is most noticeable during highway driving and long curves where small steering inputs are required. The steering occasionally feels as though it hesitates or briefly resists movement before correcting. I brought the vehicle to the dealership, but the concern was dismissed and/or they were unable to duplicate the issue. No warning lights or fault codes were present at the time. However, the steering behavior remains concerning from a safety standpoint because it affects normal steering feel and driver confidence during operation. I understand NHTSA is currently investigating whether the original recall remedy fully corrected the steering defect in affected Mazda CX-90 vehicles. I am submitting this complaint because my vehicle appears to exhibit symptoms consistent with those reports after recall completion INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Steering wheel became stuck when making a long left turn while driving on the freeway. The turn lasted approximately 30 seconds. Around 3-4 seconds into the turn, the steering wheel suddenly locked up for approximately 1-2 seconds. Eventually the steering wheel was released resulting in a sudden jerk, leading to the car veering to the right lane. A correction was made using the steering wheel to maintain center lane. Once again the steering wheel got stuck, resulting in the same jerk behavior. This occurred three times in the 30-second turn. I have not attempted this route since this incident. Prior to this incident, the front end suspension made a grinding noise when turning the steering wheel left (e.g., backing up into the garage). There is minor vibration on the steering wheel but not too noticeable due to the low speeds. A recall was previously performed back in 2025 to correct the grinding suspension. However, it returned several months after along with the minor steering wheel issue. I plan to report this at the next scheduled maintenance interval.

Both lower front control arm ball joints squeak when turning vehicle at slower speeds. Squeaking sounds were noticed at 970 miles. Dealer applied grease as a temporary fix per Mazda TSB #02-002/23. This is a family SUV and I take my wife and kids in it. I am concerned that this is a safety issue as there is a high chance of the lower control arm ball joint failing resulting in inability to steer vehicle in the proper direction. Please look into this issue. Thank you.
