I'm curious how many other Mazda owners are dealing with the same battery drain issue. I'm now on my third battery since 2024: Factory battery replaced under warranty in 2025. Second replacement purchased in March 2026. Within a month, the "Battery Low - Drive Vehicle to Recharge" warning was back. The dealer kept my vehicle for four days to monitor it, but they couldn't find anything abnormal. This started long before I had a dashcam professionally installed, so that's not the cause. I've read numerous posts on Facebook from other owners mentioning: A door module that can get wet after heavy rain and cause a parasitic battery drain. The key fob constantly communicating with the vehicle when it's within about 20 feet, potentially contributing to battery drain. I mentioned the door module issue to my dealer, but they said they had never heard of it. At this point, it's becoming incredibly frustrating. A modern vehicle shouldn't be going through batteries like this, especially when the dealer can't identify the root cause. I started to document the times that my dashboard warning pops up that the battery is low.

I was attempting to mount my bike rack. To get the clips to properly fit I needed to partially open the liftgate. Upon triggering the door release the power liftgate and began opening the door. The anti pinch system did not detect the pinch and it crumpled the roof and liftgate at the seam. I tried to stop it but there was too much pressure and by the time it stopped lifting under my body weight significant damage had occurred. If a finger had been there it would have been chopped off.
