I'm embarrassed that I didn't catch that. The manual link was the one that the Mazda Customer Experience rep sent to me after our phone call via email. Thanks for the catch. I'll see if I can come up with a solution.

Not what you'd expect to hear, but my service manager said nearly the same to me when I was there to pick up my CX-5 from routine maintenance. We're considering a CX-90 to replace my wife's aging Honda Odyssey but the service manager said that he'd wait a couple of years on this one until all...

Searched the threads for a solution but couldn't find one and "Mazda Customer Experience" at 800-222-5500 was of little help. Many of my important contacts, (family and a few close friends), are not among the ones that the vehicle will now store. Link suggests that you can store 5,000 contacts...

Consider filing a diminished value claim. Your vehicle will show up as having been involved in an accident on CarFax, AutoCheck, etc. You're entitled to compensation from the responsible party. If a police report was written it would have read something like this: V1 rear-ended V2. Issued...

Yeah, but the 1 & 2 star reviews stated that it doesn't work. If you had a 16% of hitting the Lotto, how many tickets would you buy? I suppose I am somewhat concerned about the possibility of uploading some sort of virus from the Amazon/Ebay knock-offs too, (if that's even possible)...

Fingers crossed. It's gone again. :cool:

The banner is back. . . .ugh

It seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the fix!

Nope, just as persistent. Same issue on 3 different browsers w/AdBlock on Chrome turned off. Note, I've had that ad block for years and no issues w/it while using your site in the past. That app is not present on Explorer or FireFox. Sounds like a bug on your end.

Not a put down but it seems like all the manufacturers are trying to see how much plastic to put around the wheel wells in order to make them look more off-road capable? Anyway, what will you all be using to keep that black plastic looking black over the years? Is 303 the way to go?

I have a 2016 2.5 AWD and manage about 24-25 MPG Hwy and 20 MPG city. Not heavy footed. Maybe it's our California blended fuel. . .

I reported my failed LED daytime running light to NHTSA and encouraged others to do the same. Some made comments on the thread that we were petty for a bulb that cost <$20 when, in reality, the replacement was/is over $1,250 per light as it requires the replacement of the entire adaptive...

I had a nearly identical experience yesterday. Picked up my 2016 CX-5 AWD GT from an oil change at my local dealer and was handed a jar of Vaseline when they told me that I should replace my tensioner as well. 53k on the odometer. Estimate at just under $400. Reporting to NHTSA.

I just replaced my OEM Toyo's at a whopping 28,650 miles having maintained air pressure and rotations at 5k intervals. 3 tires were down to 2/32 whereas one was at 3/32. The Toyo rep told me that this is typical of OEM spec'd tires as auto manufacturers will request that the tires for a given...

A message from Captain Obvious-Looks like there are (2) threads covering the same issue with the LED DRLs failing. . . https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123857122-Daytime-running-lights-dim-flickering
