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.

2023 Mazda 3T.
I own a 2022 CX-5 Turbo Signature. I am approaching 20,000 miles in it and thankful to report no issues at all so far.

I bought my 2020 cx5 of July 2023. When I stop the car at a light it feel like the car does a jerk motion and my radio constantly turns itself.
So take it to the dealer and get it fixed, if the warranty is out its on you, as it should be
I did buy Mazda cx30 2022 and when I drive up to 45 the car start shaking and I hear the engine voice
Go home Russian bot
What is failing ?
Head gasket or ?
My 2020 CX-30 with 2.5 Skyactiv-g has not been listed, why would it be exempt ?
Because itโs not the turbo. The class action lawsuit is for the turbo version of the sky active engine. Itโs indicated as 2.5T the T meaning turbo. The regular 2.5 is not on the lawsuit.
I bought my 2019 Mazda CX-5 brand new and shortly after I got it sometime within the 1st year of purchase I began having issues with the engine burning through the oil too quickly. I would get engine malfunction and low oil reads even after getting oil changes done. The dealership claimed that they were going to take care of the issue everytime I brought it in and it was never resolved.
My low oil light came on when I still had 2500 until my next service. I had to add a quart of oil. Are you aware of the current class action suit regarding the valve stem seals?
Same here, it says to change your oil every 7,500mi. But my oil light comes on at 5-6000mi. So now i just change it every 5000.
This class action suit is not related to your issues.
