The 2014 (291 complaints) leads with Airbags & Restraints and the 2010 (275) with Steering, so the three highest years do not share one problem area.

    Mazda CX-5 Years to Avoid, Checked Against the CX-30 and CX-50

    The 2016 Mazda CX-5 has 508 NHTSA complaints, more than any other CX-5 model year from 2013 through 2026, ahead of the 2014's 374. That count isn't a verdict: RideTruth doesn't rank model years by reliability, only by how many owners filed a report. In 2023 through 2026, the span where the CX-5, CX-30 and CX-50 catalog entries overlap, the CX-5 and CX-50 both peak in 2023, at 62 and 63 complaints, while the CX-30 posts the lowest count of the three in every one of those years. The 2016 CX-5's most-named complaint area is Visibility & Lighting, in 207 of its 508 complaints.
