    Possible VVT Solenoid issue

    Yeah. That was my thought as well. But something is definitely sucking the life out of this thing and there are no codes

    Possible VVT Solenoid issue

    Hi everyone, I had posted the other day about my 2014 acting odd. It's quite down on power and just acting really sluggish. I went out today and just poked around it a bit. I unhooked the battery, cleaned the MAF sensor, and removed the engine cover and just looked around. Upon doing this I...

    2014 is acting...Odd

    I have a source here in Canada from a place called Canadian Tire. It's a multi vehicle type but it's listed on the back as an OEM replacement for the Mazda FZ fluid and it's $15 a liter

    2014 is acting...Odd

    *Update* It is a little bit more chilly here this morning and I'm noticing these symptoms are worse in the cold. It's almost acting like the old days of the carbureted vehicles with a bad choke before they warmed up. the throttle response isn't as good and it almost feels like it's hesitating...

    2014 is acting...Odd

    I did actually disconnect the negative terminal a few days ago, Didn't seem to make much difference. I may drain and fill the trans this weekend and probably pull the plugs and inspect

    2014 is acting...Odd

    No to the tranny fluid, the spark plugs are original and not due for about another 20k according to the service manual. I use regular 87 octane gas and have since new, it seems to act fine when driven aggressively but I did notice a hint of a shake under full throttle when I was playing around...

    2014 is acting...Odd

    Hey everyone. I apologize in advance as this post may be a bit vague, but I am trying to figure out what my 2014 is doing. I bought the car brand new and have cared for it quite well. It now has 101,000kms on it, or around 60k miles. I'm starting to become aware that the car isn't acting the...

    faulty shifter acc switch? Radio staying on

    Not really sure how to describe this, I've got a 2014 CX-5. You know how if you hold the shifter to the right when shutting the car off, the radio will remain on? Mine is occasionally doing that without holding the shifter over. Seems like the switch needs to be adjusted or something. Anyone...

    Something loose in steering?

    No, I'm quite careful with it. Upon further inspection tonight I feel like it may be in the steering column somehow, almost like the tilt/telescope mechanism isn't holding tight enough or something. I don't believe anything mechanical is loose, It's just more of an annoyance now that I've...

    Something loose in steering?

    Thanks for the totally ignorant reply Mr. Helpful. The car is booked in to have it looked at on the 17th, But I was posting on this FORUM to see if anyone else had experienced any of the same issues. I hope the s*** tasted good in your cornflakes this morning.

    Something loose in steering?

    Hey everyone, been some time since I posted in here, but thats a good thing because life with my CX-5 has been pretty much non-eventful for 54,000kms. But lately Im noticing that when stopped, sometimes when I turn the wheel off centre something feels like it is a bit loose. It's very minor...

    Unsettling oil leaks..

    Hmmm. Not good. Now I want to pull the pan off and look at mine. I've always noticed a slight burning oil smell in the summer when all the windows are up and the a/c is on. I think something like your issue could definitely cause a burning oil smell. I'm going to take a look tomorrow

    Unsettling oil leaks..

    Just doing some cleanup in my garage to get ready for winter and decided to sweep the floor. Noticed oil spots on the ground from both the front AND rear area of my CX-5!! So of course I decided to crawl around with a trouble light and see whats going on. It appears the front leak is coming...
