Well, we have evidence of other manufacturers who have done it and backtracked- see the 26 Subaru Outback which now ditched the huge screen and added physical controls for the everyday things. There isn't a way to make a touchscreen which works like physical controls. You will have to look at...

Other than the big screen, I agree. The screen is a big miss IMHO. I seriously would not buy the car (and didn't wait for it because of the screen and the powertrain). I bought a Telluride a couple of weeks ago. Would have considered a CX-90 if I could have found a Turbo S to look at/drive.

I did that with my Tacoma.

Yep- I would email them all a copy of your sales order...

Looks good, just needs more power....

Agreed, but it still breaks into pieces and can hit you in the process. Unlike the windshield.

This is something that happens with glass sometimes. It can not be 100% avoided unless they use laminated glass all around (maybe you advocate for this?). If you knock a glass over on a granite countertop it will likely shatter and you may cut your hand on it. Is the manufacturer of the glass...

It seems to be really random IMHO. I had '19 and '21 CX-5s and drove them for a total of 57k miles. Never had an issue. I see this issue on the forum from time to time, but it doesn't seem to be a rampant problem in the CX-5 anyway (otherwise there wouldn't be such long gaps between...

Plus, I would expect to see others popping up here saying, yes, I live in AZ, NV, NM and I had the same issue. There is something off on your car. I felt the same way about the front brakes on my '21. It had a repeated issue with a brake shudder which did not happen on my 19 with smaller front...

Is it common? The OP and you are the first two mentions of it I know of. I had my '19 for 20k and my '21 for 37k and neither had one go bad.

Really strange you would have two motors fail in such a short time. I mean, a 2023 car is on its third motor- and the second one was installed less than 6mths ago. I wonder if there is something off in the housing, or somewhere else, that makes the motor go bad. I will be interested to see if...

I can't imagine the cost of retrofitting those parts.

Another issue I have not experienced with my CX-5's. Sorry you are having it happen again. Hopefully they will replace it again.

I don't understand how this would create V6 to I4 swaps. 3.0l is a very common size for a V6. Interesting Mazda chose to go with a 3.3l I6 with this in mind.
