5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
For the 2025 CX-90, the complaint picture is relatively thin at 18 total reports, but a few patterns stand out. Forward collision avoidance draws the most complaints, with owners describing the system unexpectedly disabling itself and flagging the rear side radar as obscured even on clear days with no obvious obstruction, restarting the vehicle typically clears it, but the behavior recurs. Engine-related complaints, several tied to the plug-in hybrid variant, describe jerking and hesitation during normal driving that owners say worsened over time. Brake complaints round out the named systems. Outside the top categories, individual reports mention a backup camera failing at low mileage and a seatbelt becoming jammed between the seat and seat frame in the locked position, leaving it unusable, though each of those appears in a single report rather than as a recurring pattern.
