2017 Mazda Mazda3

For the 2017 Mazda3, the bulk of owner complaints center on the electrical system and the backup camera. The most frequently reported issue is the infotainment touchscreen behaving erratically without any user input, owners describe the screen registering phantom touches that randomly change radio stations, adjust volume, initiate or drop phone calls, and trigger menu navigation on its own. The system also freezes, goes black, or reboots while driving. Backup camera complaints are the second most common, with owners reporting the system failing to display reliably. Brake-related complaints come in third and cover a smaller cluster of reports. The ghost-touch infotainment behavior is the clearest recurring pattern here, with multiple owners describing an essentially unusable screen that acts as though someone else is operating it.
