And yet another reason why our next car to replace our leased 2016 VW Tiguan will not be the Mazda CX-5. After having driven Volvo, Saab, Audi, VW cars for years I got my first Mazda in September 2017 and the car is just not good in cold weather/winter: 1) cannot warm up car when parked in the...

Same issue here on a 2017 CX-9 and I'm also in upstate NY. There is something wrong with the design of the heating system - our other car is a 2016 VW Tiguan (4-cyl turbo) and it heats up fully in about 10-15 minutes when it's been 0 degrees out. No excuse for why the Mazda can't warm up and...

See my post above for this exact issue:

Pretty sure my 2017 has Lane Trace in the LKAS. Around long curves in the road (when the system can detect the lane lines) I can feel the steering assistance from the car. The effect is that it requires less driver effort to keep the steering wheel turned at the proper angle throughout the curve.

I have a Pixel XL with Android 9/Pie and have it working with the version of AA that I downloaded from mazdatweaks. I have not had any real issues with it (other than the occasional instance where AA does not start when I plug my phone in, but that is usually remedied by unplugging & plugging it...

really want: better heat & a/c better wiper blades hands-free unlocking of entire vehicle when approaching with key higher opening height for rear liftgate high resolution back-up camera with better night visibility memory mirrors nice to have: individual tire pressure display touchless rear...

As others have said, certainly get a 2nd opinion and ask them to tell you the actual measurements of pad and rotor thickness remaining. Your mileage does seem a bit low, but it's not uncommon now for cars to have brakes needing replacement at 30k-40k miles. It could just be that the rear brakes...

No thanks. It adds weight, is usually noisier, and allows more sunlight in during the day which is not a good thing in the summer given how poor the a/c is on the car already. And the way most manufacturers do things today this would likely be an included feature on GT and up with no way of...

Yes, I got a knock/bump sound on full lock when in Park. I seem to remember this occurring on the other CX-9 Touring that I test drove as well. The noise/clunk I had that was ultimately attributed to the brakes was definitely different.

Update on my situation: Having fixed the "popping" sound myself by tightening the screws that hold the bracket/brace between the strut towers (see my prior post with picture), I was left with a metallic-sounding clunk/thud at low speeds when coming to a stop and sometimes when the wheels were...

I think the cars/systems designed for wireless AA also have wireless charging, so you just place your phone on the built-in charging pad/console area. It would be nice to just place the phone down and have everything work wireless but wireless charging doesn't seem to be widely supported by car...

current version of AA from AIO supports wireless AA. I tried it when it first came out and was able to get it working a few times but it was buggy and did not work 100% of the time (or even 50%) for that matter. Also, it requires you to turn on headunit wifi each time you start the car so that...

Just inside each strut tower (the towers each have 3 silver bolts/nuts) there is a brace/bracket between the two towers (black horizontal bar in picture below). Each end of this bracket has 2 black bolts/screws that hold it in place and these are what need to be tightened. 12mm IIRC.

Thank you! I tightened mine yesterday afternoon (one was actually so loose that I could spin it with my hand) and it immediately fixed the issue. I'm glad this was such a quick fix and was nothing major. Now, to address the intermittent clunk that seems to come from the transmission...

Check around with other dealers. Depending on your area and how many competing dealers there are, that may not be the best price. When I was looking for my '17 GT in August last year, it was just a few weeks before the '18s were to be announced, but none of the dealers within 50-100 miles of me...

As stated above, no it does not. But it will fit up to 10' long lumber with back seat folded down and front passenger seat reclined all the way back (plus you can remove the passenger seat headrest). Just make sure you have towel or blanket to protect seats, dashboard, and rear hatch area. I...

May be a silly question, but did you confirm in the Safety Settings menu that the box is checked to display the speed limit on the main screen? If not, perhaps this was unchecked at some point during the upgrade process.

the 2018 CX-9 was announced right after Labor day in 2017, so I would expect similar timing with the 2019. If you can, hold out for the 2019 announcement - you'll either end up with a '19 model with new features that you want or you'll be able to get a better deal on the '18 models. Dealers are...

I have similar noise also coming from driver's side front end when going over speed bumps and pulling in/out at bottom of my driveway. I mentioned this to dealer to look at during my first oil change a few months back and they said they could not find anything. Everything seems tight and it...

It seems to have been a cruel joke by Mazda. From what I can tell from research, the 2nd gen CX-9 in North America does not have a Low Washer Fluid warning light/message. This is the biggest joke of a missing option I've ever seen/heard of on a modern day car. I can't remember the last time I...
