Every now and then, get the "Front camera system malfunction", "Forward Smart City Brake Support Malfunction", etc. errors. So far, it goes away after parking the car for a while and restarting. But last I heard, Mazda had no working fix for this. Taking it to dealer this week for oil change, is there any hope Mazda has a fix now?

 

When you bring it in, tell the dealer when you notice it happen...if the warnings only happen when first started, it could be condensation on the camera lenses until it (car and camera) warm up. But if it comes on other times, then there may be a fault in the system that could lead the dealer to a repair.

 

Happened to me twice since one year of ownership. Asked the dealer about it and was told that sometimes even a bad light angle can trigger this. Will keep monitoring this.

 

It happened once when driving and once when starting. Dealer said they cleaned the camera lens, and I do indeed remember seeing something behind the windshield in the camera cavity that is gone now. But strange that turning it off for a while and then restarting clears the problem.

 

Yes, it's kind of scary. Hopefully nothing triggering those sensors falsely at very high speed like the emergency braking.

 

I have a 2020 Mazda6 that got this error today. I just got the car two days ago! ha ha
I did find this TSB: MC-10182100-0001.pdf

Hopefully this can fix my issue.

 

I am also getting the same error messages. (2019 CX-9, 42,000 miles) It appears to only pop up when I first start the car. I turn the car off and then restart it. Messages go away.
It has happened only 2-3 times in last few months, in the heat of the Texas summer. I have not noticed any other pattern.
