Mazda CX-50 Lemon Law

A spontaneously shattering panoramic moonroof is a serious safety defect that can qualify under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Because it poses a risk of injury to occupants, even a single occurrence followed by an unsuccessful repair attempt may strengthen your claim. Document the damage with photos and file a report with NHTSA in addition to visiting your dealer.

Under Song-Beverly, your refund is based on the actual purchase price of the vehicle, which includes the cost of any factory-installed trim packages such as the Meridian Edition. All amounts you paid, including the premium for higher trims, would be included in the refund calculation minus a reasonable mileage offset.

Yes, you can continue driving your CX-50 during the Lemon Law process. However, be aware that additional mileage will increase the mileage offset deduction from your refund under Song-Beverly. Keep taking the vehicle in for repairs whenever the defect recurs, as each documented visit strengthens your claim.

You should gather all repair orders and service records from your Mazda dealer, your original purchase or lease agreement, and any correspondence with Mazda customer service. Under Song-Beverly, the repair history is the most critical evidence, so make sure every dealer visit is documented in writing even if they say no problem was found.
