Mazda class action lawsuit overview:ย
- Who: Plaintiff Matt Cauller filed a class action lawsuit against Mazda Motor of America Inc. d/b/a Mazda North American Operations and Mazda Motor Corporation.ย
- Why: Cauller claims Mazda knowingly sold certain vehicles with a dangerous engine defect.ย
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in California federal court.ย
A new class action lawsuit alleges that Mazda knowingly exposed the purchasers of hundreds of thousands of vehicles to a dangerous engine defect.ย
Plaintiff Matt Caullerโs class action lawsuit claims Mazda failed to disclose that its SKYACTIV-G 2.5T engines equipped in certain of its model year 2018-2021 Mazda6, 2021-2024 Mazda3 and CX-30, 2016-2023 CX-9, 2019-2024 CX-5, and 2022-2024 CX-50 vehicles were defective.ย
Cauller says the alleged engine defect causes the engine to leak coolant, which causes the engine to overheat and leads to โcatastrophic engine failure.โย
โBecause of the Engine Defect, Mazdaโs advertising about the safety and dependability of the Class Vehicles is untrue and materially misleading,โ the Mazda class action says.ย
Cauller wants to represent a class of South Carolina consumers who purchased or leased in the state a class vehicle with a SKYACTIV-G 2.5T engine.ย
Mazda admits existence of engine defect, class action claimsย
Mazda has admitted to the existence of the engine defect via a series of technical service bulletins, yet has failed to warn consumers, extend the vehiclesโ warranty, or issue a recall, the Mazda class action alleges.ย
โMazda has long known of the Engine Defect. It has amassed years of research, data, and Engine Defect warranty claims,โ the Mazda class action claims.ย
Cauller claims Mazda is guilty of unjust enrichment and fraudulent omission and violating Southย Carolinaโs Unfair Trade Practices Act and state codes regarding breach of express warranty and breach of implied warranty of merchantability.ย
The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of actual and statutory damages for himself and all class members.ย
A group of consumers filed a separate class action lawsuit against Mazda earlier this year over claims the automaker sold certain vehicles equipped with defective infotainment systems.

519 thoughts onMazda class action claims thousands of vehicles have engine defect
We have a Mazda CX-5 and our motor overheated and internally was destroyed from coolant leaking into the motor. We paid out of our pocket for a new motor!!
Our 2017 CX-9 had this issue. Was leaking coolant and at one point started overheating. Engine and turbo had to be replaced.
I have a 2021 Cx30 turbo that is currently in the shop with infotainment issues.
Donโt really want it to be back for coolant or engine issues after this.
Please keep me updated.
How can I detect the engine coolant leak before my vehicles engine is damaged? Is coolant leaking into the combustion chambers or out of the engine?
I have a 2024 CX-50 and my son has a 2023 CX-50 please let me know of updates on this claim
I just purchased a 2024 Mazda cx5
I have a late 17.5 model mazda6 .it came out late 2017 with more feature from the regular touring. Iโm wondering does it have the same motor
My infotainment is changing from one thing to another. At times it wonโt stay on a particular setting. Iโm listening to music it then skip to different tracks ,gps vehicle settings etc.
I have a Mazda cx90 2024 and the engine just immediately breaks and stops and scares the daylights out of me. Every so often it does that I brought it in and they said they canโt find anything wrong. I think thatโs BS. Imagine getting whiplash! Actually sounds like someone just hit you when it stops like that in a jerking way. VERY SCARY! ALSO MY INFOTAINMENT AND MY GPS ARE NEVER GOOD. I LOVE THE FORECAST
I did talk and text. Sorry it picked up my TV!
