2024 MAZDA CX-90 — Complaint #2156257
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HANDLE:EXTERIOR filed December 10, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2156257 (ODI reference 11704365) concerns a 2024 MAZDA CX-90 and was filed on December 10, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 8, 2025. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:door:handle:exterior, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same MAZDA CX-90 cohort independently describe similar structure:body:door:handle:exterior failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2024 MAZDA CX-90 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The exterior rear door handles get stuck in the open position. This is a danger and the door has opened while driving since the door handle did not close all the way. I have tried lubricating the both door handles with no improvement. Our car has never been in accident is approximately 18 months old. I have done research on the internet and it looks like this is not a new problem with multiple owners who have complained to the manufacturer in the past with no fix.
