Dear sir or madam, I leased a new mazda 3 on 12/20/2019. At the time of signing all documents I was provided with a document to sign that the dealership were not allowed to sell me a car with an open recall. After registering with the mazda app I found out that there is an open recall. Is this legal and what are my rights? This seems extremely dishonest. I would appreciate your feedback and advice on what I can do in this situation. The vehicle may unexpectedly stop while driving due to inadvertent activation of the smart braking system (sbs) automatic emergency braking system. Many thanks
2019 Mazda MAZDA3 brakes complaints

Automatic break system malfunctions often and does a hard break. Also the perimeter sensor gets disabled numerous time out of blue while driving and stop functioning until the car restarts. The break happens without any prior indication or same situation. It just happens on the regular road as well as highway. But the highway just scares me. But there is no way I can tell mazda with a proof.
Car has given multiple warnings that driver and safety assist features are disabled -- despite not being enabled. Car also gave a camera malfunction warning approximately 1 minute before slamming on brakes unexpectedly at 35-40mph and causing injury to driver;incident occurred at clear night with no other cars around. Car currently in shop; no word on what caused this or when it will be repaired.

- rear view mirror fell off while on the freeway. Hot days will break down the adhesive and cause the rear view mirror to fall off. - brakes vibrate harshly when in sport mode. Faster the vehicle goes, the more harsh the brakes will vibrate. - acceleration is jerky on low end (1st/2nd) gear. In stop and go traffic, or going up-hill on load, acceleration will feel jerky when try to keep a steady speed between 5-15mph. Car feels normal when pushing the acceleration harder.
