2025 MAZDA CX-70 Power Train Problems

Safety Issue: Gear box unexpectedly disengaged while driving at highway speeds, between 60 and 70 mph. This occurred without warning and under normal road and operating conditions. Driver was unable to accelerate or decelerate vehicle. Driver did not have forward propulsion of vehicle at time of incidents (this happened more than once), and therefore, this is an extreme safety issue.

After starting the vehicle and driving it for a short distance, I forgot to disable the engine start/stop function. When the engine shut down, I pressed the button to disable it as I loathe this feature. The button would not respond, resulting in the engine repeatedly shutting down during coasting events and limiting the functionality of my AC. I tried multiple times during my 45-minute drive to disable it, but was unable to. I shut the vehicle off and restarted it when I was safely stopped. The system worked as intended after this action. I have never had a car with so many technology bugs and electronic safety system issues as this one.

This has been happening for over 6 months but it's getting worse. When moving at a lower speed, 10-20 mph, the motor or transmission is jerky and sluggish. This makes it very slow to move when pulling out from red lights or when in stop and go traffic on the highway. (Might as well be pulling out from the light in an 18 Wheeler.) I haven't taken to the dealer because from my experience, unless there is a code to look up, it's just money (and time) wasted. No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No warning or messages have been displayed, no other symptoms to report. One more thing, after driving for hours and getting back to the office. With the vehicle in Park, the rear passenger removes their seat belt and the driver removes their seat belt, the seat belt...

Noticeable jerking or hesitation when shifting gears. Mostly happens in low speed or moving from complete stop.
