That's brutal. I do understand preference of a new ECU over a junkyard rebuild. After all, if you get a junkyard ECU it could end up dead in weeks with the same problem. Hopefully it comes in sooner. Or maybe gambling on the junkyard part is low enough cost to use it as a bandaid.
lolI should mention the AUTO PARTS RECYLCLERS many are owned by corporations in the Automotive industry and even belong to nationwide parts finding groups all connected together have not been called or like being called "junk Yards? for about 4 or more decades.
I had to look for a rebuilt ECU unit for a customer today and while there .......Sassy your ECU is available through at least 3 rebuilders that I use in the shop. You just need to look on line and start contacting a few of them. The better ones do require your VIN and other information to get the correct one.

I own a 2015 CX5 and today the computer failed. I had the car towed to my mechanic, only to find out that there is no replacement anywhere in the US and the earliest Mazda will have them available is June, 2024. Dealers are wait-listing customers! Are there so many Mazda computers failing that Mazda was unprepared for the number of cars needing new ones? It seems unbelievable that Mazda should expect customers to wait months to have their cars repaired. Apparently, there has been no recall or any provision to accommodate customers.
Does anyone know of any action being taken on the part of customers?

I don’t believe I implied it was a conspiracy. Apparently, this is not a supply chain issue. Mazda is aware of the issue and the number of customers affected by it. The part we are all waiting for is actually a new, upgraded computer developed to solve the problem. That is the reason for the delay. So maybe it will become a recall.
