    Mazda5 Thule Roof Rack

    Mazda5 Thule Roof Rack - SOLD I have a Thule roof rack setup, only on the car for a couple weeks and in great shape. I haven't used it in over a year. I'm selling the Mazda5 and won't need it any more. I had it for transporting surfboards (if you want the surf attachment, let me know). I...

    Mazda 5 GT Poor Fuel Economy Help!

    I just filled up about 52 litres and the vehicle travelled almost 540 kilometres. This was with a 2 adults, 2 children and a packed trunk (another 100 pounds). Probably could do better without all the load. Travelled 80% highway. 2008 Mazda5 GT, automatic, original tires.

    Power steering failure on Mazda5 (TSB: 06-002/09)

    My vehicle is going in for this power steering fix today. Parts are backordered across the board and there will be a long wait. There are a number of customers who are concerned about driving their vehicle so Mazda is providing a rental car until the parts come in. I think they are very aware...

One of the steel wheels is slightly different from the other 3 in one important way... the hub face is...

    Intermittent flashing airbag light...

    Unfortunately, this was the red indicator in front of the driver and not the orange lighting in front of the passenger. I had the same thought as you did and I looked over and there was nothing on the seat at the time.

    Intermittent flashing airbag light...

    On my way to work this morning I happen to look down and saw a red air bag icon flashing twice quickly, then pausing and then flashing twice again. It went on for about 15 minutes and then stopped on it's own. Anyone had any experience with something like this? Thanks.

    Rear window washer; is it supposed to be horrendous?

    Mine sprays with pressure. Can you try taking a pin or needle into the hole to see if it's clogged?

    HELP Stability improvements needed- trying to alleviate car-sick kid issue

    Since your Daughter is 1.5 years old, she's facing forward. Is she in the middle or the last row? Have you experimented? Are you driving manual transmission? You don't mention what brand/model her seat is. Does her toddler seat have big blinders on the side that cramp her space around her...

    TPMS + switching wheels?

    I'm not disagreeing with what you've experienced but not having the sensor in the tire present is the same as a complete part failure which would be counter to what is written in the Mazda5 manual: "Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the...
