A class-action lawsuit has been filed by a group of Mazda3 2025 owners in the US who discovered discrepancies between the information on their vehicle stickers and the actual specifications of their cars.
The lead plaintiff, Kyle Johanson, found that his Mazda3 only had six speakers and no HD radio, contrary to what was advertised on the window sticker. Mazda’s promotional materials explicitly stated that the sedan model was equipped with eight speakers and HD radio support.
The lawsuit alleges that customers either paid for features that did not exist or made their purchasing decision based on misleading information. According to some email exchanges, Mazda sales representatives acknowledged the error, referring to it as a “typo.”
However, the plaintiffs accuse the automaker of attempting to cover up the mistake instead of taking clear corrective actions.
The lawsuit targets six variants of the Mazda3: 2.5 S sedan, hatchback, Select Sport sedan, Select Sport hatchback, Preferred sedan, and Preferred hatchback. These are the base models within the 13-variant lineup of Mazda3 sold in the US.
The plaintiffs are seeking compensation for financial and emotional damages and are demanding that Mazda return all profits related to the provision of misleading information on the vehicle stickers.
This case does not currently involve Mazda3 vehicles manufactured in Vietnam. In the Vietnamese market, the Mazda3 is positioned as a C-segment sedan, with prices ranging from 599 to 719 million VND.
