    Car Issues After Low Battery From Sitting A While (2016 CX-5)

    My guess is that, it still holds enough charges to supply current to drive the starter. However, the voltage is just low enough to cause all sorts of issues mentioned. Modern cars have all sorts of devices that are sensitive to voltage. When a battery gets old... the voltage drops. It should...

    How much discount off MSRP on a 2024 CX-5 Turbo Premium AWD?

    wlong01, Replacing your '19 or getting an extra one? Well, depending on where you are located. Your negotiation power depends on how many CX-5s are sitting in their lots. I see a lot of CX5s in the dealership I frequent and bought mine from. MSRP days are long gone. Some dealers are still...

    New Member here, about to purchase CX-5

    Have a '17 since new. 0 problem other than the GPS SD card went bad. Mixed driving. '17 is much quieter than the '16, heavier due to more isolation material used, and slower if you care about it.

    Preventative Maintenance List for 10 year old / 150k mile CX-5

    Water pump seems costly to replace on Mazdas. (lift up engine to get to it.... If I am not mistaken) Better skip it if there is no problem. I agree with wlong01. Without detailed maintenance records, I would replace all fluids. For others, I would replace them only if I see signs of issues.

    Accessories can also be installed by the dealer or yourself. I have not ordered a Mazda before. I did order a BMW 5 before. It did take a while to get to me.

    Coolant Leak Lawsuit Investigation for the CX-5, CX-9 and Mazda6

    In the past, the dealer I frequent called MazdaUSA directly to help split the cost. One time, it was for premature rear brake pad wear of my Mazda3, and the other time, for peeling-off wheel coating of my Mazda6. In both cases, MazdaUSA helped split the cost. So, it seems like your dealer is...

    Dealer extended warranty. Worth it?

    Why buy any warranty when one can afford it in worst case scenario. We do that because the worst case scenario could bankrupt is ... i.e. medical in USA (outrageous expenses) So, evaluate your own financial strength and decide what to do based on that. Others' view points might not be a right...
