"My 2025 Mazda CX-50 began overheating while still under the factory warranty. During one incident, the engine lost coolant and overheated. I immediately shut the engine off to prevent damage. The vehicle continues to overheat, and the air conditioning only cools properly while the vehicle is moving. When stopped or idling, the A/C stops cooling. I have reported the issue to my Mazda dealer and opened Mazda Customer Experience Case Number 00473077. The problem remains unresolved despite multiple attempts to obtain assistance. I am concerned this condition presents a safety risk." "The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Mazda dealership on two separate occasions. The dealership kept the vehicle for several days during these inspections but reported that it could not reproduce or identify the cause of the overheating. Despite these inspections, the overheating condition and the air conditioning issue continue. During one of the service visits, I also discovered scratches to the vehicle's exterior that were not present before it was left with the dealership."
