Actually it was without manual mode when I started the car in the morning. Temp about fifty five or sixty degrees and humidity eighty or eighty five percent so certainly not overheated fluid. I think I recall it happening once before a long time back.

Yesterday morning I took my Signature in for the 85,000 kilometer maintenance. It's about twenty kilometers to the dealership and I found I couldn't engage manual mode. I like to downshift to second on some downhill stretches to keep off the brakes a bit. I tried several times but the car just...

Thank you that explains it.

I was in a traffic situation that I thought would have surely lent itselft to to the auto breaking system: slow moving stop and go, rolling forward, stopping, rolling forward again. I looked down as I was rolling forward again when suddenly the auto breaking alarm sounded and in the next...

I find I cant open the lift gate with the dash button when sitting in the car with the engine running and transmission in park when doors are closed. If I open the door the button will activate the lift gate. I could swear that in the past I was able to. Whats going on?

Well it's obviously a continuing issue and I can't understand why with one replacement mirror already the issue can't be fixed.

Lucky you!

Well I find it handy for the walk away locking as you can see by the mirrors the car is locked. That feature by the way is imperfect because if I get out of the car, open the rear door to get something, close it and and walk away towards the rear the car doesn't lock so the mirrors tell me. I...

Thank you for your two cents, much appreciated. Well no I didn't see it myself. As it happens the engine was clean when Mazda inpected it and aparently found leakage because it had been washed at Mazda Colision following repair of body damage three weeks prior. So I really can't confirm the...

At my 80.000K (50,000m) check at Mazda had to replace leaking valve cover gasket Wonder if this is premature.

I did a search and there are many posts on the issue of mirrors not closing. My Signature is now six years old and I have already replaced the driver side mirror for this reason. However it too now suffers the same problem. I wonder if there has ever been a definitive fix.

Wel camera is back. No idea why it went away briefly.

Thank you, was thinking along those lines myself.

At my 80,000 kilometer (50,000 mile) maintenance I'm told I need new axel rubber boots. Is this a reasonable mileage for this or is it exceptionally early?

All of a sudden (at 80.000 Kilometros) there is no camera image when moving either in reverse or forwarward and pressing "view" button on the control buttons lower left produces no image. I can see other images on the screen such as Waze with no problem so do I have something set wrong or need...
