- 2019 Mazda CX-5 AWD Grand Touring
I just bought a used 2018 CX-5 AWD Grand Touring about 3 weeks ago at Carmax. It has near 18K on it.
I was just reading user complaints and problems related to unintended acceleration / service brakes issues. I.e., the car will accelerate when slowing down or stopping even though the brakes are pressed, and people end up crashing their cars. There's some alarming reports I was reading that was turned into the NHTSA, more than the fair share I'd like to read when I just bought this car.
Now I'm worried about the car I just bought. Some of the issues might be related to the Smart City Braking feature I was reading. Do you think one could prevent this issue if you turned off SCBS&SBS ?
Here's the issue I'm refering to, there's 15 complaints of this issue, that's too many IMO and it scares me -

Here's the actual NHTSA.gov's website where you can read the user complaints on this vehichle that have been officially reported, you'll find those same reports there, so it's real.

If you google unintended acceleration / service brakes you'll find these complaints.
Is there anyone else kinda worried like me? Or should I just not worry about it? And what do you think about turning off SCBS/SBS to try and avoid the issue?
I hope I didn't make a bad decision buying this car, i'm scared
