2024 CX-50 Turbo Premium LEMON
I bought a 2024 CX-50 Turbo Premium at the end of last year after searching for this exact interior/exterior combo in the Turbo Premium Plus for almost 2 years since they announced the new model in 2022. Settled for Turbo Premium since it had the color combo I was looking for and so far I regret it. This specific car has been at the dealership for 104 days since November 2023 to fix multiple issues from the factory - Poorly assembled steering wheel, clunking noise whenever I accelerate from stopped, and the kicker - AC was draining water into the passenger side floorboards every time I used the AC for over 8 months. I only noticed it because so much water had accumulated, it splashed over the high walled rubber floor trays. By this time, the water was blackish green and smelled like rotten eggs and wet dog. The dealership said the cause was that the AC drain hose was deformed and not connected entirely. Dealership not entirely to blame for issues with manufacturer craftsmanship on my car, but they could have and could be doing so much more to push MazdaUSA to do the right thing and replace the car. MazdaUSA didn't care when I approached them with my concerns about my car months ago, even telling me to file a lemon law claim and they won't do anything unless forced to. I've been a die-hard Mazda owner since my first 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 GT that I put almost 200k miles on it before trading it in with this new car purchase. I've had more issues with the 2024 Mazda than my 2006 one. Wish they would actually do the right thing here.
