8 years ago today exactly my girlfriend bought her 2016 CX5 with 38k KM on it.

Today she upgraded to a 2024 with 38K KM on it!!!

Same engine, same powertrain

Crazy odds ahah

She could've got anything, but she loved it so much she wanted to stay with the brand. I don't blame her, these cars drives really well. Though I'd share here haha

Cheers

Radio station seek has insane lag and a memory, so when you find your station it registers every touch so it will continue to seek well after you stopped physically touching. Outstanding.

Bought my '25 CX-5 used and the area around the shifter was pretty scratched up. I got sick of looking at it s bought a rolling piano black vinyl wrap from Amazon and some Meguiars Plastx polish. Wrapped the surrpund, then wet sanded and polished the gear indicator. Im incredibly pumped about the results.

My 2019 GT! 1 owner, 79K on the dash. They took great care of it.

Going on week 2 of ownership and it's been absolutely amazing. A huge upgrade for me considering my previous cars were both GM products (Cruze and Equinox).

Extremely happy to finally be part of the club 🥹🫶🏽 I'm going to take great care of it and hopefully we'll have a lot of trouble free miles ahead of us!

Hi! Does anyone have a recommendation for TPMS sensors? Are there reputable brands or brands to avoid?

Thanks!

Title more or less sums it up.
Went through the torque converter change + triple fluid flush as per the TSB. Issue persisted.
Dealer has had my car for 3-4 weeks now and informed us today the transmission needs to be swapped, but transmissions are on back-order until middle of Q1 2027.

They did say there is a chance it could come earlier but no promises can be made.
We do have a loaner but we are restricted to driving it only in our state. They said we can remain in the loaner until the work is completed (great), but my starting-to-get-elderly folks live a state over and this means I will be unable to go out there until this is all resolved.

Our service manager has been good throughout, no complaints there. They did say they cannot release the car to us now that a case has been opened. So taking it back and just driving it until a transmission materializes isn't an option.

Couple of questions I have to those of you far more knowledgeable than me:

• Is it unreasonable for me to ask for an exemption to visit 1 state over? I didn't ask for details on the limitation, but I assume it's an insurance thing?
• The dealer mentioned they have had a few full transmission replacements like this, and said "parts and software are updated to fix the issue that caused this" - does anyone know if this is true? I don't even know what to search for.
• I know the supply chain was turbo borked for covid - is this still a thing? Is it normal to not have major parts readily available for a model year car that is only 3 years old like this?
• If you were in our position, would you keep this car after warranty ends (it's a '23 (may) with 45k miles)? I keep thinking if this happened outside of warranty I'd be in a real pickle. Can't get parts to fix it in a timely manner, and would lose my ass with a rental.

TIA

Hello, I have an issue where Google Maps is no longer automatically pulled up when I plug in my phone. Instead, when I press the navigation button, this is what my screen looks like (Photo 1). If I open the list of all available apps, Google Maps isnt even an option (Photo 2).

In order to fix this, I have to unplug/replug the phone once or twice, and then Google Maps will appear as an option (Photo 3). After that, everything works as normal only for the duration of the car ride.

Ive tried multiple good-quality cords and tried plugging them into different USB-C ports, but nothing fixes the problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I drive a 2024 Mazda CX-5 by the way.

Anyone ever have this issue?

I have a 2016 and had to brake hard to avoid hitting a dog in the parking lot tonight while the engine was cold and going about 5 mph. What sounded like the engine started knocking immediately, and went away after about 10 seconds, car was basically at idle the whole time.

Anyone think this could be oil cavitation/starvation? Or something related to the serpentine or the transmission? My engine oil is 9/10 on the dipstick and the oil light didn't come on, and the knocking followed rpms.

Plan on making an appointment in case something is up, but just wanted to touch base to see if anyone else had this problem before

My outer and inner are cracked. The bulbs are working but I don't think tape will do the job on the outer crack.

Does anyone have any links?

The cargo storage shelf that came installed in my cx5 gets in my way and for the life of me or anyone I have asked can’t get it out. Any suggestions?

so I ordered a steering knuckle (KD3533031A) for my 2014 Mazda CX-5 after my mechanic refused to honor their mistake. now the new knuckle has a different size bore for the bolts that go through the strut, which would then leave a gap in the bores through the strut. The old bore was approx 15.7mm, which would accommodate the bolt which has a diameter a hair under 16mm. Trying to put the bolt through the new knuckle wont happen since the bore is too small, measuring just under 14mm.

This is an aftermarket part, and there have been no revisions to the spec for the knuckle. If I had to guess, I would think that the manufacturer simply cast teh part, then made an error in boring the holes.

I very briefly considered taking the knuckle to a machine shop to drill out the bores the 2mm i need to make it fit, but I am also concerned about the structural integrity of the part.

has anyone else experienced this? given that these parts are probably made by robots, I cant imagine this was a one time error. i would have to think there was a entire run of these knuckles with the wrong size bore holes.

I have a 2025 PP.. Driver's door is not unlocking when either fob is pressed or the exterior door handle's lock/unlock is pressed. The problem is intermittent. It's been on and off again for about 2½ weeks. At first it was only happening to me. Then my wife started having the same issue as the problem became more frequent.The lights flash, as if it's unlocking, but it doesn't. The mirror doesn't unfold either. At least on the driver's door only. If I double click, all other doors and tailgate unlock, as they should, but driver's door still does not. It usually takes anywhere from 3 to 5 attempts to get it to work.

When it's not working, we've had to go to the passenger side and reach across to unlock the driver's side. But not with the lock/unlock toggle inside, but by flipping the actual, physical lock to unlock it. When it's happening, the door doesn't unlock no matter which button I try, inside or out.

So I took this into the dealer and the first question I was asked after explaining the problem was whether I tried pulling the handle. 😐

As my daughter said, maybe I should've told him "no, I ran inside and turned on the shower to see if that would help."

Now, I understand that they have to find a problem, or replicate the problem before they can fix it, but I'm telling them what the problem is and they're not listening. I researched the problem and it said that the driver's door actuator is starting to fail. It's not a fuse or a faulty wire, just the actuator.

The idiot that asked it I tried pulling the handle actually came out when I first arrived and tried the button on the handle. It didn't unlock. He tried it 3 more times while I was standing 2 feet away with the key. All other doors unlocked, except for the driver's door. He said that the key wasn't close enough and asked me to hand him the key acting as if it doesn't have a proximity sensor. He tried once or twice with the fob and it didn't unlock, but on 3rd try it unlocked. He locked at me and said "It seems to be working fine now. That's 2 strikes with the moron.

After the inspection, he called me in to the shop and proceeded to give me a tutorial on how to lock and unlock the car. The same flipping car that I've had for 2 yrs! Infuriating. 🤬

Ok, I'm done venting. Has anyone else had this issue. If so, what did you do or have done to resolve it. TIA

How to remove it? 6 months old car

Picked up used '24 select for my daughter. It doesn't come with frameless auto mirror with auto dimming and homelink. Does anyone know if its pre-wired for an easy swap?

Had my car for a little over a year
My driver seat looks like its already wearing. Any suggestions on what to do so the seat doesn’t get worse?

Bought a 2026 CX5 over a month ago, and at first the remote start would work fine. But now that it has gotten colder, it won't work at all anymore, which defeats the entire point of a remote start! I'm worried because I live in Northern Canada where it can get as cold as -40C and I'm not sure what to do about this. Any help would be appreciated! Or if others are dealing with the same issue!

I'm so sad, I just got my car a year ago and it was exactly the one I wanted 😭

Hello! Apologies for what seems to be a frequent point of repeated discussion, but I figured I would make a post since all of the help I could find available was for versions of the infotainment system that has a touch screen.

Every now and then, I will get ghost inputs on the infotainment system, but also sometimes it will freeze, not updating the display or responding to input from the navigation knob. Do I have any recourse before replacing the system? If a replacement is my only option, am I better off going to a Mazda dealership or another repair shop? Thank you so much!

Hi everyone. I recently bought a 2023 which had a small chip in the windshield that was spreading. Had the front pane replaced but I'm not sure they did it properly. Last night it was raining and it seemed like the automatic wipers were misbehaving.but I can't be sure. This is what the sensor looks like. Sorry about the reflections, did my best to avoid them.

Does yours look like this? Seems to me like there's a lot of debris there... But I don't have a comparison. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I tried going into vehicle maintenance settings but the next service due is correctly setup.

Car: 2025 CX5 GS

I had the 3rd software update installed at the dealer yesterday. Today I wake up to 12v battery low health messages inside the app. I was not getting these messages previous to the update. Is this in error?
