    Oil Treatment charge, Canadian Dealership, CX-5 Turbo

    No kissing involved, unless it's by the dealership after they screw their customers over.

    CX-5 Spring Cleaning

    I did the same thing on Saturday with the same car, MY anyways. All the winter crude needed to be cleaned off and it is. I only vacuumed the interior and did a quick wipe down cuz I was lazy.

    Oil Treatment charge, Canadian Dealership, CX-5 Turbo

    Yikes! Liars and cheats. Care to name this dealership? I would certainly demand that $70 be refunded! So, they threw in the "engine treatment" for free? How generous of them! BUT BG115 MOA treatment $30.37 BG280 fuel treatment $21.80 BG2026 fuel additive $19.67 I have to wonder what the...

    Oil Treatment charge, Canadian Dealership, CX-5 Turbo

    Are you saying that you went into this dealership for an inspection and oil change and when you were leaving, they presented you with a bill with those 'extra' items added, and they did not ask you if you wanted these items included? :oops:

    2021 CX-5 GT: No Cylinder Deactivation?

    Yes, I see that a line has been drawn through/over something. I have no idea what that line originally said so how can we make any determination on a 2021 CX?

    Possible Damaged Caliper - Brakes/Rotors Change By NuBrakes

    Will you be speaking with the tech in person? If in person, and this may seem a bit chauvinistic, do you have a male friend or family member who is knowledgeable about cars that could go with you, if for nothing more than moral support? Most of us know how some shops treat women and if you...

    Possible Damaged Caliper - Brakes/Rotors Change By NuBrakes

    Perhaps NuBrakes was clueless about the need to set the rear brakes into service/maintenance mode before starting the work?

    How to stop music from playing when starting car? 2024 CX-5

    If you set the volume to zero before shutting the car off, it works as you described as the car starts up at the volume setting that was last used. If it was set to 10 (or whatever) when you shut down, that's what you get when you start up. At least that's the way my 2016.5 works.

    How to stop music from playing when starting car? 2024 CX-5

    Mine does not. But if you want to listen to the infotainment system there's a bit of a work around for it. Before turning off the ignition, depress the switch on the shifter, hold the switch in as you press the Start button to shut the car off. The infotainment will stay powered for 15 mins or so.

    How to stop music from playing when starting car? 2024 CX-5

    Too bad that Mazda didn't implement what VW has done. In a VW you can set the system to a certain 'turn on' volume. When the car is started up the volume is set to the value that was chosen initially by you. You can set it to zero if you like. Another weird way that Mazda does things. Such...

    Guest Driver Alert / Teen Monitoring (Considering a 2021 or 2022 CX-5)

    Well, there you go. I had no idea that Mazda had included a nanny in their connected cars. Remember, this only works on a 'connected' car. Are 21's and 22's connected? Dunno. Thank goodness that the 2016.5's aren't connected!

    About the Mazda “Lifetime” transmission fluid

    The hell you say? An honest dealership mechanic? :unsure: What will they think of next? ;) Please share the name of this dealership so anyone near can take advantage of this rare occurrence.

    Guest Driver Alert / Teen Monitoring (Considering a 2021 or 2022 CX-5)

    I've never heard of this being available on a CX, as a matter of fact, I've never heard of this being on ANY car. Cell phones, yes, cars, no. Please share your info/link for this "Guest Driver Alert" that you've found.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Who was the last person to do any work on your car concerning the battery?

    CX-5 Wired for Fog Lights or not?

    I can't help with your question, but may I offer a suggestion? When you create a thread, the title should be somewhat descriptive of what you're wanting to know. It makes it easier for people to help you out.
