    Takes forever to get heat

    Or maybe it's in defrost so the AC would be on.

    Having a multitude of audio issues. Help me like I'm 5.

    Could they mean the mute speaker button on the steering wheel? I do not have your system but do have that button.

    Wife's car, 2005 Toyota Corolla, 47000k. Still on original battery. Checked it once so far. Wow!

    1 year, 19,382 miles later review

    sternsi I'm with you. You will never feel good about this vehicle, your brain will say what's next. Like my Mazda, but if it hit the fan, I'd be gone. Too many options out there.

    Roof vibrations and why they are bad in this vehicle.

    Toneb210, since you were up there in the clouds can you tell me if the shark fin antenna is bolted down? I think the not so good FM antenna is in the fin and I'm looking for ways to improve it. Marty

    Possible to upgrade the USB ports? (2 amp+)

    I think a limiting factor is the max current a USB cable can carry. The wire gauge is not very high in these cables. Not sure if they are rated for 2 amps.

    I'm just wondering why more amps are needed in the USB source.

    Loose fuel filler neck - anyone else have this issue?

    Still haven't done the recall on my 2015. Trying to find the part number for the plastic bolt now used, which I would install. No luck so far. Anyway my filler pipe wiggles a bit but I have never been concerned.

    Faint Gasoline Smell After Fuel Filler Recall

    If I understand correctly how the recall is done, I am amazed how there could be any release of gasoline or fumes.

    Mazda 5 vs CX-5

    I went from a 2010 5 to a 2015 CX-5. I will say I sometimes really miss the Mazda5. I think it was better for storage. The other thing I miss, is to me the Mazda5 was more nimble and more fun to drive. The one thing I like about my CX-5 is I feel there is more car around us and therefore an...

    New owner (maybe?) + Recall Notice!?

    Mike, have to disagree here. Someone at Mazda said to put in the bolt. Then a recall, and the fix is to remove the bolt. Now new CX-5's have the rubber pad and plastic bolt. Assembly reason, no way. The pipe needs support. A whole bunch of us will be driving around with a pipe and no support...

    New owner (maybe?) + Recall Notice!?

    Why am I not getting this? For the production on or after February 1, 2016, a rubber pad will be placed between the body member and the bracket and a plastic fastener will be used for attaching the bolt.

    New owner (maybe?) + Recall Notice!?

    Have to agree with you and heritage07. Not really a good fix. This may become a DIY for me. Not degreed, but enough common sense.

    CX-5 Fuel Leak Recall and Stop Sale

    I agree that a solid connection is not necessary. What I was responding to was your comment, "What the hell are you talking about here? " I thought perhaps you did not believe a wobble was possible and the Mazda was designed to be rigid.

    CX-5 Fuel Leak Recall and Stop Sale

    The filler pipe in my 2015 is not rigid. About 1/4 inch of wobble. This is before the recall fix.

    Base CX-5 Sport Non-Bose Radio. How's Your Reception?

    To you folks who have gotten into radio guts. Does anyone know the exact location of the FM antenna? 2015 Sport. .

    Base CX-5 Sport Non-Bose Radio. How's Your Reception?

    I have complained about this before. The FM antenna in my 2015 is terrible. I think the radio is fine. Mazda forgot how important an antenna is to reception. For them it's all about the look. Did he say what window? I heard the rear.

    CX-5 Fuel Leak Recall and Stop Sale

    I have a 2015 Mazda 5 and also have not received a notice. I believe they will get to me in due time. If you are concerned, I think you should contact your dealer and ask for a prompt repair.

    Warming car up without key in

    Have to agree with you on this one. Awhile back I pulled the choke knob and hoped for a start. Then auto choke, and hoped for a start. Now they start. Hell with heat, I'm ready to roll.
