5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
For the 2017 Mazda6, electrical system complaints make up the largest share of owner reports by a wide margin. The most frequently described issue is phantom or "ghost" touch behavior on the infotainment touchscreen, where the screen registers inputs on its own, making it difficult or impossible to use while driving. Beyond the touchscreen, owners also report scattered electrical concerns. Engine complaints are far fewer but include descriptions of the engine choking or stalling at certain speeds, with one pattern of the problem easing above 60 mph. A small number of powertrain reports mention electronic parking brake caliper issues, where the brake reportedly fails to release from a maintenance mode. A single report describes coolant entering the engine, requiring engine replacement according to the owner's dealer.
