Can anyone give me a quick direction of where my air filter is?? I've done it on my other cars no problem. But the Quicky Lube guy said $20 and I said NO WAY! So now i need to know where it is located so I can do it (braindead

I believe this is what was happening - it started after I moved into a house in a valley by a river, so the overall atmosphere is totally different than when I lived at a higher point in the area. I never had the noise until I moved. I will talk to my mechanic this week about it all!! Thank...

Thanks SN713!! I'm glad you pointed out not getting the effects of the slotted/drilled rotors on my 5. I knew why I had to get them on my Jeep, but my 5 definitely IS NOT a V8 Grand Cherokee!! I am going to call the dealer to find out if I have the factory rotors or not........I have no idea...

I'm guessing all of the pads - the rear had been making some LOUD humming noises when I would back out of the driveway for a while now, but I noticed recently it's doing some squeaking from the front now too during regular breaking. I have 78,xxx miles on it. I bought it used with 27,xxx miles...

Does anyone have recommendations for an '09 5 that needs new pads - I'm guessing all the way around. Also, rotors. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee before this and ended up getting slotted/drilled rotors because the OEM's were so crappy. Does the 5 need the slotted rotors too? thanks!!

Glad I'm not the only one then.......too bad it wasn't on a recall!! Now I just have to find out how to take the dash apart (loser) yikes!!

I have an '09 5. I bought it used with 27xxx miles in Sept 2010. Since day 1, the HVAC knob lights have not consistently worked. I probably took it to the dealer 10 separate times to get it figured out. At one point, the technician said F*** it and just installed a whole new outlet connection...

thx Rockin!! I found the Kumho Ecsta LX's on Tirebuyer.com for $132/tire + free shipping + a $50 rebate if you buy before 1/31/2012!! Which means they are sent to my tire guy's garage for $478.96 after the rebate!! That is $68 cheaper than anywhere else I found the Ecsta LX's!!! I'm excited...

ok folks......I just want to make sure a 215/50-17 tire will work on my stock 2009 Mazda 5. I think it will (from seeing a post here before). I just don't want to click "process order" without knowing FOR SURE!! Thanks!! :)

I just have to say.....1 year, 4 months and 48xxx miles have passed since I bought my used '09 5 and I still look out the window at work and LOVE my car!! It's amazing how versatile these cars are! Just had to share with people that understand! No one around here gets it (cheerbanana)

you say that the bars are a little 'off'. You do have all the parts to the setup, don't you? I ask because when i ordered mine, i had the rubber 'spacer' missing that goes OVER the Fit Hook (the metal part). Well, it was just 'forgotten' in my order. I didn't know it was missing because the dang...

I bought my 2009 5 used in Sept 2010. It had 29,xxx miles and new tires when I got it. Only things I had the dealer do under warranty was a blown fuse for the MP3/charger outlets & I had a few problems with the 'vent/ac' knob lights. It was all under warranty though. Also, at about 40,xxx miles...

I have a 2009 and have a somewhat similar problem, but it's with my REAR vents. if I have the A/C on (no matter of recirc or fresh), and I turn the REAR vents on, they won't blow. I have to turn the A/C off (not the blower, just the A/C) then hit the REAR vent button - THEN I can get the A/C to...

thanks a bunch!!

Well, I don't know enough about my 2009 Mazda5 (and it isn't w/ me to look) but I know I need to replace either the rear shocks or struts soon. I had a light oil leaking onto my driveway from under the driver-rear side. And now, the clunk I hear while driving confirms it needs replaced. Can...

I just want to let ya'll know what happened and why my racks weren't stable.....ORS didn't send me the bottom 1/2 of my attachment bracket. And since the instructions were in Chinese, i didn't know that I was missing the cushion base and the base bracket. All i received was the metal base unit...

well, after 42,xxx miles, I finally had a power steering failure on my 2009 5. Took about 10 mins of cycling/starting the engine for the light to go off and me to get outta my parking spot! I made the call to the dealer and get it fixed Monday (under the recall of course!) :)

DKaz - do you have the fairing??

I should say that I have the snowboard attachment on my racks too. That may be why there is a bigger difference

I don't have the fairing and I'm getting around 23-24 mpg. I notice a difference. I just removed the racks/bars since snow season is over in StL. I am happy to get back to my avg 28 mpg Hopefully someone will post f there is a difference w/ the fairing.
