What owners wrote
Blind spot monitoring system warning appears on dashboard of vehicle after driving for about 50-60 miles. This occurs only when I drive >50-60 miles in one trip without shutting off my vehicle. Speed does not matter. My sensors will not work until I turn off my car and turn it back on. This started as soon as I purchased my vehicle in July 2020. 1 previous owner (lease) before I purchased the vehicle. No prior accidents. Got the vehicle at ~30,000 miles.
Known ghosting issue caused by manufacturing and diagnosed by mazda. The lights inside flicker, the radio/navigation/telephone (bluetooth) starts, stops, and moves as it wants to. This causes distractions and is unsafe while driving. There are recalls on other model cars for this, however, mazda won't fix my car even though they acknowledge this was a manufacturing problem.
