2024 MAZDA CX-90 — Complaint #2175353
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STEERING filed February 10, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2175353 (ODI reference 11716976) concerns a 2024 MAZDA CX-90 and was filed on February 10, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 26, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering, 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 steering 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 steering wheel has been sticking when turned even in the slightest. It is so dangerous because I have to over correct which causes the car to jerk. I took it to the dealership and was informed that this is a known problem but there is no recall from Mazda. They said itâs going to cost me $4500 to replace the steering rack and gear motor. Itâs a 2 year old car I shouldnât be having these kind of major repairs. I get regular maintenance and always take it in for any recalls.
