Any update folks? I am experiencing this problem. Plan on getting first oil change soon and would like some ammo to tell them what exactly needs to be done. Thanks!

Little update...Mazda rep came out and determine the dashboard and glue on seat were manufacturer defects and authorized replacement. In replacing the dash, the service folks scratched the paint on both sides of the door sills along with issues in fit up of the dashboard itself along with the...

Hello folks. Just picked up my 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring and noticed the slight rocking in the drivers seat after the second day. What was the final solution to this? Thanks!

From the dealer on sunroof.... "If the water you are seeing along the back seal of the sunroof is a drip along most of the seal and is not saturating the headliner, then do not worry as it is normal. If the headliner is getting wet, or water is coming inside the vehicle, this is not normal (as...

Another defect I noticed. The steering wheel is starting to crack. The leather creases in the photo below are normal. However in the middle lower part of the photo you can see a whiter line. This is actually a crack in the leather. I would not expect this after owning the car for 3 weeks. So...

More on quality control for my brand new Mazda. In addition to my blemishes documented here, it appears my sunroof leaks when it rains. Seriously having some buyers remorse.

Would any of you buy a brand new car with a small door ding in it? If no, then how is my argument different? If yes, then you officially blew my mind.

The Picasso from 10ft away looks sweet!

So basically this whole post can be summarized as "nobody takes pride in their work anymore." I can't get a quality product because people don't care about attention to detail or craftsmanship. Then if I want to get it fixed, I shouldn't because they are going to screw it up and make it worse...

I got the 2016 GT with tech package for $26800 out the door (gave me $3000 for my 2003 Jetta which was about $2000 more than KBB). I should be able to trade it for a Lexus and not lose much.

Thank you. I am meeting with the dealer to see what they say. I sent them photos and they said they will take care of it. Although I would be surprised if they replace the dashboard. Seems like a huge job. Sounds like I need to get a Lexus next time.
