2024 CX-5 with 5,000 km questions

As for the whirring noise in the steering wheel, imagine backing out of your driveway onto the street. YOu cut your wheel sharply to get out on the street. And when you turn the steering wheel to stratighten the wheels to get moving forward, it makes the whirring noise.

Yep, I hear that too. Your steering is fine. What you mention about the engine and trans isn't.

ok well that's one thing off the list LOL.

THanks for verifying :)

Show your local dealer the engine oil level and the shift, get a video of the trans behavior too if you can.

Unless someone has redlined your car multiple times before the 5000km mark, excessive oil consumption and the surging shift is not normal and should be escalated.
 
Sharing my 2 cents.
I am also from Nova Scotia!
My 2022 Signature used to slip the the torque converter more when it's cold...that's normal, as others have said. I had a few others before the '22 (2018 Signature Mazda6 and a 2020 Signature CX5) that did the same thing.
Like others have said..the oil consumption is something you should mention to your dealer and monitor closely.

Best of luck
 
Already mentioned to them. It's going in for the first service (6 month) in a couple of weeks.
I have pics of the dipstick and oil level currently. I'll get the transmission slip video before I see them.

Where in NS are ya?
 
I feel for the OP and I too would be upset with the oil consumption and other issues, especially with a new car. My suggestion is to keep a paper trail of everything that's going on in case you don't get the satisfaction you are entitled to. Good luck to you... It's quite upsetting for a new car to have these issues.
 
Sounds at least that the trans issue is software related and will likely be resolved by the dealer.

As for the oil consumption, this is highly unlikely at your mileage, but it might be worth checking to see if there is any oil leaking somewhere in the engine bay.

this is hotly debated i know, but I personally would use thicker oil if consumption is a concern.
 
So I took the CX-5 in to the dealer for the 1st oil change. Complained about losing oil (they brushed it off), gave them the TSB for the rough shifting (said it wasn't applicable to Canada). I also pointed out an issue I have just seen as well. From a cold start and just sitting in the driverway, I can see my temp gauge climb fast to almost out of the blue region, then it falls right back down to horizontal, then climbs normally up when driving to just under 100 (but takes forever). I've never seen a fluctuation on a temp gauge like that.

So, I had to literally put the hard copy of the TSB in their face where it says it's from Mazda NORTH AMERICA and where it says the procedure to fix if in Canada, I have no time to force the issue today, but I will be bringing it up again and this time demanding they do it.

As for the temp surge, then drop, has anyone seen that?

Thanks for letting me vent!

Also, if I need to go over their heads on anything, what is the best way?

Cheers
 
I have seen some drops when the TStat opens on mine. Its the freaking CCV ehich is electronically controlled. Once the car is warmed up fully the needle is stable as a 100year old oak.
The 2025 also has other "goodies" thst Mazda added for efficiency and "eco"
 
MIne seems to stabilize right below 100 (maybe 95?). but that weird blip within from ice cold to almost out of the blue range then dropping back down to ice cold within
a minute or two of starting is so weird.
 
crappy dealerships are a drag for sure. Unfortunately Mazda allows it and when my neighbor had issues with his CX50 Mazda USA told him they trusted the dealership and the dealership had the final word.....
 
well that's not good lol.

I will be fighting the TSB for sure. I've been reading about issues with the temp gauge too. I'm still holding onto hope the oil doesn't drop this interval.

All in all, I'm actually quite frustrated with the CX-5 and it has really taken the enjoyment out of our new vehicle).

the last time I bought a new car was a 2009 mitsubishi outlander and we had that thing for 255000km and had pretty much 0 issues. My car is a 2013 Mazda 3 which I love and never had much of an issue with it. We were split on the new outlander (she hated it, I would have gone for it ) so the CX5 was next on both our lists. Sigh lol

THis is what I have noticed in some of my cars. One of them (a Nissan) always had a bit of a surge or something about the same number of minutes after starting up and driving a few minutes. I could see the temp gauge drop right about the same time. At the time I figured it was something to do with the EGR valve.
I can't say I've specifically noticed this on my CX5, but recently, when the temperatures were very low, the blue light took quite a bit longer to go out than usual, in fact it took more than twice as long.
I have a Scangauge mounted on my dash, so I could use it to more carefully monitor the temperature during this part of warm up, but I haven't really paid that much attention to it in the past.

Engine temp is controlled by the car's computer, not just a simple mechanical thermostat. It makes sense to me that the computer would initially allow the engine to warm up a bit and then start using some of the warmed coolant to begin warming the interior of the vehicle.
 
Thanks for the responses.
Yeah maybe it is normal..I just know I've never seen it with my other cars that had a actual needle gauge (even mazdas) so I was kind of surprised.

If you look a little more in depth, temperature issues/anomalies are discussed quite a bit in cx5 forums and usually something called a CCV is the culprit - however I do not even pretend to know what the ins and outs are as I don't even know what that is haha.

So the only thing I don't get about this is where I am it's about -10 degrees celcius in the morning sometimes. This "blip" of the temp gauge happens within 2 minutes from starting the engine when cold overnight, so I really doubt the temp is almost up to out of the blue range within two minutes of just sitting there...because after the blip and it goes back to 0, it takes a fair bit of time of actual driving for it to get back up out of the blue again. MAke sense? But who knows..maybe that is normal...I'm just getting opinions and seeing if others have noticed it
