OK, I tried to get a good video but since it's hit or miss I never get it when it's bad. In the video below at 5 seconds you can hear the thump. Sometimes it's louder sometimes never happens. Turn the volume up loud :) https://youtu.be/hvA812_bIfo

So, a year later and this seems to be getting more frequent and louder. I can reproduce it without starting the car now so that rules out the electric steering. Took it to Mazda and of course they could not reproduce it and said everything seems fine. Defiantly feels like something in the...

Been doing some research and I actually wonder if it is the steering lock disengaging when I turn the wheel for the first time. Wouldn't it make the noise every time though? ahhhhh 😡. Sorry for posting so much....it's driving me crazy not knowing what it is.

Yea when I take mine in for it's oil change I'll ask about it. Just hoping it's normal and not lower control arm issues. ;)

Yes it happens without the car moving and can be left or right. That's a good description Martyd, it's not really a clunk...maybe a click.

No one else has this issue?

Wondering now if this could be my brakes sticking because of moisture. I let it sit for 5 hours and went and checked and it was fine. So only happens when I first drive after it sits outside at night. Just strange that I only feel it when I turn the wheel.

I had the same thing when I got my CX 5. I took some rubbing alcohol and a paper towel and wiped the windshield down and it stopped the shuttering. Apparently there was a film of something, maybe wax, on the windshield that caused it. Worth a shot.

Does anyone else heard a slight clunk noise when first turning the steering wheel after the car has been sitting for a while, like overnight? I can feel it in the steering wheel and it only happens once, after that I don't hear/feel it again. Does not matter if I am moving or sitting still...

So I just went out to mess with it again. Pretty sure it's creep groan I am hearing. If I mash the brakes down when switching gears I don't hear anything.

Hi all, I have a 2019 CX 5 sport and I notice that when I put the car in reverse with the brakes pressed I hear a creaking noise before I release the brakes. Same happens when I back up, switch to drive. Is this a normal noise to hear? It's been doing it for a couple of months and I just...

I use Dr. Colorchip and it works pretty good for the most part. On the hood the color is almost perfect and it's hard to see the chips. On the door though the color seems to be brighter and they stand out more. Not sure how that works, maybe the angle changes how it looks. I like the foam...

I have noticed that I am getting a few paint chips on my 2019 Soul Red CX 5. Did you have any luck with the color matching with the microfinish kit?

Mazda checked it out and said that everything is normal. Actually the loaner they gave me did the exact same thing. So I'm guessing it's the roads out here.

Taking it in today to get checked. I'll keep you updated. Thanks again for all the replies!
