They are repairing it under warranty, right? All car makes and models have occasional problems. One diagnosed and repairable issue does not "a lemon" make.

Well Nomore welcome to the Mazda cx50 forum!! Guessing you’ll never be back 
. Also probably first time Mazda owner. Yes I’d be pissed too! But on the bright side they are fixing it. Could’ve said they don’t hear anything. But hopefully they fix it and that’s your only problem. The mistake made was buying the first year of a new car. Problems are going to happen. Probably would have been smarter to lease. Turbofan said it all ! Sell it for a huge loss! That is really the shocking thing. That would be saying they’re not worth what we paid. And Mazda isn’t standing bye their car. Yes all cars devalue as they leave the dealership. You’ll take a loss but not a huge lose! So sad to hear this. Mine has been good so far with no complaints. Hope it’s as good as the Outback I traded for it. Plus I do believe your differential problem was mentioned before.

As has been mentioned countless times, while the 2023 CX 50 is a first year production vehicle many of its components have been in service in their other vehicles for quite a few years.Well Nomore welcome to the Mazda cx50 forum!! Guessing you’ll never be back
So while it may appear to be a totally new vehicle it has many proven components from the CX 30 and 3.
Well again it’s shocking with some of the comments here. Got to say spending 42+k on a new car in 2023 I’m not expecting anything to go wrong. 42k! A rear differential after 700 miles is a real eye opener! Who cares that they used proven parts. Every new model car uses proven parts. It’s the new parts used to mesh them together is what needs to be seen how they work together. So when buying any New model of car first year of production your the test dummy. Yes most shops will keep records of problems and the later years fix them. That’s a fact. I know this but did disregard it. Again first year so Mazda has to be expecting some problems. They’re going to fix it. But a new car owner who maybe doesn’t even know it’s a new model and has a problem like this is going to have a bad taste in his mouth about Mazda. Well anyone who blows a differential at 700 miles is going to have a bad taste. If not there’s got to be reason you don’t care.
Lots of great reviews on this site with most happy with their cx50. But the bad reviews ARE the ones we need to hear and remember. These may be the recurring problems that may find their way to our cars. Seem there’s been some reviews of dealerships who don’t want to fix things. Having records of others past failures will come in handy when the dealer says “that ain’t your problem. You’re hearing things”.
Shame now is that you guys threw out all your I love Mazda bs and this guy probably will never come back and tell us what’s going on. Did the dealership fixed the problem, did they fix it in a reasonable time, did they supply a loaner car. And 2 years later how the car is still running. I don’t get it? Why wouldn’t you want to know all the facts? A bad diff at 700 miles. Who are you guys? Bad mouthing people with car problems doesn’t help anyone. Well nomore I hope you come back.

The facts are known on the defective differentials already.Well again it’s shocking with some of the comments here.

So if you want to know the facts do some research, instead of dissing owners who voice their opinions.
To quote you….”Bad mouthing people with problems doesn’t help anyone”
“A bad diff at 700 miles. Who are you guys?”
Are you aware that mechanical devices have a certain percentage that will have issues or will fail?
That’s just how it is. Take a look at the numbers of owners that have no issues with the differentials as an example.
The example of failures occurring with the 2.5 Turbos in the CX 30’s becoming oil burners due to exhaust valve seals doesn’t make them a bad vehicle.
Go read comments in any other manufacturers forums on any of their models and you will find very similar
comments on failures of many different components.
Its not a happy moment when it happens to you and your vehicle, but when a poster comes out guns a blazing saying “ what a lemon, don’t buy a Mazda”, what sort of response were you expecting from satisfied owners?
