What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[Chris_Top_Her]

Richard, your car has always been superbly turned out.

Whoa, in the USA turned out (slang) means something else (spin)

⋯ the cx5 had the front and rear differentials blow up at 55k, dealership had 0 idea how or why, Mazda said my warranty ran up a month and a half before it all happened so piss off cause it wasnt their problem. I lost all faith in that car so we got rid of it as soon as i got it back from the repair.

Ouch! How much did they cost to fix up? What year was your CX-5? I thought front transfer case and rear differential are covered under 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty?

Got the side mirrors painted in gloss black.

No those arent scratches or paint chips on the car. I need to get her washed.

Took her in on Monday for the hatch strut and gas filler recalls. Ordered a complete set of brakes from Rock Auto that should be here today.

it wasnt cheap... my CX5 was a 2014, it had 55k and Mazda told me that my car was purchased in June 2013 so my 5 year was expired in June when this all happened in the beginning August.

Oh! Sorry, it means well presented here.

Oh! Sorry, it means well presented here.

It still bogles my mind how both our countries speak English but its vastly different between the two.

Replaced an aftermarket oil p sensor, changed oil rotated tires, and reinstalled my front sway bar links after have them off for a month after lowering the front.

New to the forums. Joined the CX-5 family this week, nice compliment to the MX-5

Topped off radiator with deionized water. About 1/2 qrt was needed. I had not checked coolant since 2014 but the dealer must have been refilling whenever I went in for oil change. Now I do oil change at home so I need to regularly check fluid levels.

 

[mikeyd_CX5]

Nice! I have the same CX5 but an older (99) MX5
Call me crazy but I think Mazda may have made it much too difficult on themselves (and everyone else) to update to Android Auto and ACP.
Seems like there should be a way to update to these without tearing the whole dash apart.

 

[tibimakai]

......wait and buy the 19, with it installed?
But I agree with you.

 

[7eregrine]

Disagree. Other then doing wifi what other choice is there?
Those of you really into this tech should be glad they even offered retrofits. Could have changed the system completely and said sorry current owners!!!
