The recall notice showed up today as well.

I have one DRL out completely. The other is fine. So, I'm assuming only the faulty light will get replaced. If as noted in a post above, the new version isn't as bright as the original, isn't that in itself a safety issue?

Hey everyone. I haven't been around for awhile although I check in now and then. I'm happy Mazda has finally been made to recall these lights. My drivers side DRL has been out for a year or so. I've just been driving with my headlights on as I wasn't going to pay Mazda's price to replace the...

My 2016 DRL on the driver's side just started flickering and is barely on. I will have had the vehicle for three years next month with 43,000 miles. I'm planning on calling Mazda North America with my problem. It looks like there are many of us that have this flaw. Is there anywhere I can find...

Thanks everyone. It seems like I tried some of the options noted, but under time pressure, who knows what I actually did. I know I tried changing states--United States, Washington and so forth, but I may have missed a step in the hurry-confusion. I generally like the NAV system, but I know the...

I use my GPS a couple of times per day for work reasons in my area so I'm very familiar with entering addresses. A couple of weeks ago, we were going to a wedding in Walla Walla, Washington, driving from Pendleton Oregon. This is only about 40 miles. The nav system wouldn't allow me to enter an...

The big question is...did you pass the test?

If we lived in Sweden, we'd have studded tires as well. But we only get a couple of snow events a year in Portland.

AWD. I should have noted that. It would be stupid to not get this in an AWD in our area.

I've had the Continental True Contact tires on the CX-5 for a couple of months now. I've driven on dry roads, heavy rain, black ice (for more than 100 miles) and 6-8 inches of snow. They were instantly quieter than the original Toyos (although old tires get louder as they wear) and handle as...

I agree with the above. Also, I'm 6'5" and fit just fine. No paint issues, no rattles, no problems at all in 37,000 miles.

Thanks everyone. This is the Portland (Oregon) area. They have inquiries out to the other area dealers. I'll see if she will share which version is purchased and at what price, once it happens.

My niece got rear-ended in her 2015 Mazda 3 and the car was totaled. She compared the RAV 4, CR-V and CX-5 and decided on the Mazda. My brother and I both drive 2016 CX-5's and all three of these vehicles were purchased at the same dealer and the same salesperson. My niece and brother went to...

I like it. I usually don't like blue but this dark blue looks great. I don't like the new wheel design though.

We're in Portland as well. High in the west hills. We got 14 inches with much higher drifts. I have to say ours handled the snow very well. We're most worried about the very long and steep hill into our neighborhood--especially downhill! It did great.
