There are 1 owner-reported body & structure complaints for the 2022 Mazda CX-30in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
1. The system that is failing is the rear tailgate. When it is opened or closed there is a clicking sound as if it is tryng to engage the lock multiple times. While driving this continues with the tailgate closed turning on and off the interior lights in the vehicle and showing on the front console that the tailgate is unlocked and open. the car is availabe for inspection on request. When I asked the dealer about it they stated that this is a known problem and it will cost approximately 800 dollars to fix which I believe is unresonable due to it being a known issue. 2. Since the rear tailgate may not lock properly it could potentially fly open while driving. 3. Yes see #1-Was reported to Kennedy Mazda located in Valparaiso Indiana. 4. Yes see #1 5. No warnings just the constant clicking of the lock mechanism can be heard.
