2024 CX-90 Low Hybrid worst vehicle we've owned...

We owned a newly purchased CX-5 and it had zero issues. We then traded it in 2 years later for a more spacious 2024 Cx-90 Low Hybrid. Issues began at only 250 miles on the Odo. Low main battery issues, including dead battery, and constant annoying low battery warnings on dash and through speaker system. We had the power steering fail during a trip and had to drive with a disabled power steering for over 350 miles until we got home. We had both rear radar sensors replaced because they failed. Our dealer replaced the stock battery twice and we were on our 3rd new battery with only 3500 miles on the odo. Mazda tech support finally figured out the alternator and regulator was undercharging the batteries that had died. It took 7+ visits to get the batteyr issue finally resolved. We had every recall Mazda had for our VIN. Finally at 3800 miles on this car, I'd had enough of the dash warning (drive vehicle to charge battery) as that kept coming up all of the time. The dealer did so many software updates, I honestly lost count unless I looked through my stack of invoices. I ended up trading my new 2024 CX-90 for another make that was gas only. I'd had enough of the many tech issues that Hybrids have plus one lemon of a hybrid that Mazda introduced far too early with many issues along with it. While Mazda is considered a reliable brand, that will not hold true at all for it's Hybrids, be it the low Hybrid I had or the PHEV plug-in either which has even more issues than mine did. Given the recently introduced Mazda 2025 CX-90 has already had one or more serous recalls, it's "here we go again" with this risky model. Avoid the CX-90 altogether until a model year comes along where the vehicle proves to be far more reliable. ...and 2025 isn't going to be that year!

My First Hybrid

So far so good. I waited for more inventory to show up at dealerships and have researched the two powertrains extensively. I am more used to the inline v6 type of engine, but with the $7500 rebate on the lease for the PHEV that I got on the front end to help with my trade...I took the leap. This morning I didn't have the battery fully charged...it had only charged itself to 7miles...but it was a seamless transition when the motor kicked in. I am hoping with a full charge, the mileage will be fantastic for my daily commute. The interior is GORGEOUS and I have owned Acura, BMW, Mercedes, Infiniti and Lexus! I have the PHEV Premium package and it is very well loaded and has so much space. It also is just enough wider than my QX60 to make it more comfortable. Very well built and beautiful finishes!

Beautiful Car, but already has issues

I leased the new CX90 less than two months ago. It’s a beautiful car, and an attention grabber. My family loves it because it’s extremely comfortable. BUT it already has issues. Less than a week after getting it, it started with a noise when accelerating. A little more than a month after the car seemed to get stuck in first gear when I made a turn. It happened twice. I took it into the dealer for service, and they seem to think it’s a transmission issue that needs an update. Could this be a recall issue? Maybe. Let’s see what happens. Not a good experience when a brand new car gives you issues so early into driving it.

Mazda CX-90 Prem Plus Low Hybrid a lemon for us...

25+ visits to our dealer over 8 months and only 3300 miles on it as purchased new. We had every recall it had actually occur and got every one of these corrected at dealer through several visits. Big issue, 100% dead 12v battery in driveway. Over MANY visits, our dealer put in a 3rd new 12V starter battery since the new battery was still failing in only 3-4 weeks of use. Finally on 3rd battery, dealer and Mazda tech figured out the battery was being grossly undercharged due to a software issue. That finally got fixed at the expense of far too many returns to the dealer for this serious issue. After all of this, the loud and annoying low battery alert and dash warnings still continued to occur almost every day, even with sufficient driving done daily. Dealer said it was normal, ya, right. We had had enough of this Hybrid in only 8 months of ownership and we felt we could not depend upon it for a long trip and traded it in at a $10K loss for another make of vehicle that was gas-only. That gas only vehicle has performed flawlessly with zero returns to our dealer for anything. The 2025 Mazda CX-90s are again being recalled for many issues. This model should be avoided until Mazda figures out a lot of things it should have before releasing this new model in 2024. The CX-90 is sure to blemish what was a clean record in general for Mazda. The CX-90s are a dud, period! Avoid or flip a coin on any decent reliability, if you choose to get one! Also, consider that the much greater technical complexity of using a Hybrid over a gas only vehicle, may come at cost of reliability over time. While our gas-only SUV does not get the higher MPG that our CX-90 had, it was greatly worth getting a vehicle we could depend upon 100% of the time and know it would not let us down when we needed to rely on it.

Great car, but terrible driver recognition system

Love the car shape and interior, but the driver recognition drives me crazy, as it only works one time out of two. Also, the transmission is really not smooth at all
