NHTSA Complaint #11621038 — 2024 MAZDA CX-50

I purchased my vehicle early August 2024 at Knudson Foothills Mazda in Spokane, Washington. Within the first five hundred miles of use, I noticed that my steering wheel would not maintain center alignment. I took it into the shop explaining my issue and they were fast to acknowledge the alignment was off and that they realigned the vehicle. The steering was off center alignment within 20-40 miles so I again, contacted the dealer and told them I expect a more thorough inspection. They took a brief inspection and realigned the vehicle again. At pickup, the service advisor said "the suspension is settling, this is normal. If it happens again, don't bring it back for 5K miles." They also proceeded to tell me they could not determine the cause, so they called the Mazda Technician hotline which is where they claimed to have got their answer for me. The center alignment did not last more than 20ish miles and has gradually gotten worse. If this were "normal", they would have been able to tell me on the first visit instead of two and having to call their own tech hotline. If this were "normal", I would be able to find reputable sources online confirming this. If this were "normal", I would not have been told to endanger my life for an extended 5K miles before asking for this to be fixed again. I do not feel safe in my car. Each time I call the dealer they tell me to wait until 5K miles. I have filed a complaint with Mazda USA but have not heard anything since. I'm currently looking into attorneys to go after Mazda USA as I feel the vehicle is UNSAFE to drive and they are being NEGLIGENT on their approach with total disregard to consumer safety. Searches online indicate this is likely a result of faulty parts used when the vehicle was manufactured. I do not know what else do to besides file this complaint so a large entity can question Mazda on this SAFETY ISSUE. 1st service/realignment: 9/16/24 - approx 750 miles 2nd service/realignment: 9/25/24 approx 1251miles
