If it works with your old ones I'd say the problem is the non-OEM ones. If you feel you must replace them go back to Mazda.

Maybe you got something on the circuit board underneath the knob, or maybe the board itself is bad. See my last post here: https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/infotainment-commander-knob-will-no-longer-toggle-2016-cx-5.123873348/

You might also want to make sure there's no oil leaks around the timing cover or oil pan. It's a minor annoyance at worst but the drive line is IMO solid. Also, look at the engine belt tensioner.

I have the same problem, usually shows up in warmer weather. I used to have the "beep" function enabled but turned it off. Thing sounds like a telephone sometimes when it makes it random jumps. I think somewhere on here some one has a procedure for fixing this, involves removing the screen to do...

2016 is a good year, IMO. Good engine/trans combo, reliable power train. Had to have my rear calipers replaced as well for the defective EPB problem for which the parking brake would bind up and not release. You might want to opt for a 2015 as well, they didn't have the EPB. Great gas mileage.

Good to know, mine seems to have fixed itself.

Car is in the shop today, hopefully he over quoted like he usually does. I also go with OEM when possible, particularly when it comes to suspension. Brakes gets a mix with aftermarket and OEM. I just replaced a front brake hose last week and it cost almost $45, dealer price with a 15% discount...

Garages don't figure it the way you did. For example, one Mavis tire dealer broke it down this way, $214 per LCA, discounted from $315, labor and wheel alignment coming out to $875. State inspection and Emissions would be another $100. Then the state has to get its cut at 6% tax. I checked a few...

Yeah, I don't have a garage, so suspension work I generally don't do. I'll do shocks, brakes and some other light nonsense (plugs, oil changes, a timing belt or two). These guys have had a stellar rep for years. Still way cheaper than a dealer. I've had a few cars for many years longer than I've...

So, if you don't have a Full automatic A/C (climate control) then there's no issue? Mine is stuck at 59 F, with a plain Jane a/c system.
