Owner report 11631266 · 2024-12-17 (December 17, 2024)
Involuntary acceleration. Twice now at very low speeds between 1-5 mph the engine revs up and the car lurches forward for a second or two. Was pulling into house garage and was about to push acceleration pedal when the engine revved on its own and jolted the car forward. I slammed on the brakes real quickly when it happened and slid to a stop almost a foot away from crashing into house wall. I don't know for sure but I feel if I hadn't pushed the brakes it would have continued. Has happened one other time to a different driver, same car. Aside …

Owner report 11679573 · 2025-08-09 (August 9, 2025)
While attempting to change lanes on I-75 southbound, one lane to the left of my current position, I was enforced and the steering wheel pulled back to the right. I was navigating a right-hand curve on the interstate and moving past slower traffic at 81 mph. My turn signal was activated, the lane departure system deactivated, and the signal was still flashing as the lane change was executed. The turn signal should suspend enforcement as well as the system being deactivated. Both interlocks failed to operate. No other vehicles in the area wo…

Owner report 11682916 · 2025-08-25 (August 25, 2025)
CX-70 routinely has been falsely alerting to an impending crash when no vehicles in front or to the sides. Vehicle routinely does not alert when there is traffic to left or right when merging into a lane. Multiple near accidents when a vehicle was present in blind spot when merging lanes and the safety system failed to steer away or make an alert noise. Vehicle routinely alerts to take over steering wheel even when both hands are on steering wheel. I do not feel confident in the safety systems as they are not executing safety procedures as desc…

Owner report 11669537 · 2025-06-26 (June 26, 2025)
This has been happening for over 6 months but it's getting worse. When moving at a lower speed, 10-20 mph, the motor or transmission is jerky and sluggish. This makes it very slow to move when pulling out from red lights or when in stop and go traffic on the highway. (Might as well be pulling out from the light in an 18 Wheeler.) I haven't taken to the dealer because from my experience, unless there is a code to look up, it's just money (and time) wasted. No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance repres…

Owner report 11653788 · 2025-04-09 (April 9, 2025)
My auto flashed an Engine Malfunction error then lost power. I had to pull over immediately. Would not restart. Unsafe road with no shoulder in a no passing two lane road. Towed to dealer. They told me gas tank sensors failed. Resolution is a new gas tank. This could have been much worse had there been a car behind me, had children in car, been on a highway etc. The auto did not show any signs of issue until the warning light that appeared as the auto lost power. The auto is at the dealership where it will remain until new part comes in. I was…
