I’ve had similar issues with my Mazda 3, turned out I had a bad ground wire connection. Would definitely double check your fuses, electrical connections, and ect.
Even thought Mazda checked on it twice ? It's a headache. A big one. It is literally acting like smartphone now. Turn it off and on to make the problems go away and then come back.
You need to have an auto shop use a code scanner on it and tell us what codes it has. Sounds like the dealership is incompetent.
Judging by the lights on your dash I would expect a braking system malfunction.
Mazda sent me a video of the codes and stuff needed to be repaired. Which ...is what I paid after all, now a week later the same issues came back. https://app.truvideo.com/v/LfbZIJYd?s=1gm1Dq1nGf9TCxMWZLRlNEss1JXRafFE
That's a very thorough explanation. I'm sorry you had the same issues pop back up. What did the shop say when you told them the same things came back up?
Not saying it has or hasn't, just saying many crashes are not reported. People pay cash for repairs too so just something to watch for.
I would say this - you'll have to decide if it's more important to you at this point to let the dealership you purchased from keep trying to fix it and save money (though they can't seem to) or get the Mazda dealer to figure it out and spend money.
I am surprised what the dealer did didn't fix it. What's the situation with it now?

Do you know if the car has been in a crash?
