This thread is a log of when members are affected by the Low Battery issue on the Mazda CX-30 2019/2020/2021 models in all markets.

This is as a result of requests from members who are affected so that some form of evidence can be gathered in one place.

For background information the following threads should be reviewed:

Rapid battery discharge

Hi all! I have owned my brand new Mazda cx30 for 1 week. However, on day two, I drove it home 400km post purchase. After half an hour in my garage, I started getting a flashing warning and beeping on my dash indicating that I was at risk of battery failure, start the engine! My local dealer...

Low Voltage Risk-Start Engine alarm

Hi Y'all. New CX-30 owner here, trouble free for the first two months except for one issue. A few times with the ignition button pressed once to the "Accessory" position to listen to the radio, after about 30 minutes I would get the "Low Voltage Risk - Start Engine" alarm on the center dash...

Washed the car this morning - and couldn't start it...

It's not (quite) as bad as it sounds. Ruby (the CX-30) has been sat outside, properly locked but idle for a while. So, today, before I used her I decided to clean her. However, Ruby couldn't make her mind up that I wanted it unlocked so I could wash and clean ready for use - despite pressing...

We may update this as things go on.
To keep the thread tidy, I will remove posts made once details are entered into the table.

We have only had our 2021 CX30 GS AWD Soul Red for one week. I asked about the “Low Battery” alarm which I had heard about when we took delivery. Both the salesman and finance manager said the issue had been resolved and I would have no problems. There have been 4 instances already in this week while we were exploring the phone and music features in our condo parkade. We stopped exploring each time. The first time we drove the car for awhile as directed. Two other times we just stopped and locked the car until the next day. The car started fine and we never needed a boost. Interestingly, the fourth time I only ran the engine for a little over one minute instead of five since we were in the underground parkade. When I turned off the engine the alarm turned back on flashing and beeping like mad. I guess you really need to run the engine for more than five minutes. We have not been back to the dealer nor has the dealer called to follow up with us as an after sales courtesy. Somewhat disappointed but still loving our CX30. Seems like a “Low Battery“ alarm could be a good feature if battery was really low. Perhaps, Mazda has set software parameters too low and need to change alarm timeout for a longer duration? I emailed Mazda Canada about the alarm this evening to try to get their feedback. Hope this helps.
