    Car rolling backwards while in park on an incline

    I've got a 2013 AT with about 33K miles. This morning I parked on a steep incline, placed the car in park, and took my foot off the brake to then turn off the car. It started going backwards down the hill and it stopped when I reapplied the brakes. I thought maybe it was sliding since there...

    Front passenger seat is squeaking and noisy

    My 2013 was doing that after about 6 months. Whenever I leaned into the seat back or shifted around, it was a terrible squeak. Had the dealer look at it when I had my shaky mirror fixed and they reconnected something that had gotten loose. It's been fine since. Shouldn't be a problem for you to...

    Air Vent Noise

    Yes! I have this exact issue on my 2013 since new, and I have 25,000 mi on it now. It's like a light clicking/crackling noise coming from the center vents, and it only happens when the AC is on 3 or 4 and when one or both of the side vents is diverted or closed. So yes, it seems like it's only...

    Just bought Mazda 0W-20 GF-5 w/ Moly online

    I can vouch for oilchangekits.com as well. They sell the 0W-20 with moly for $96/case with no tax ($8/quart). Throw in an extra quart and there's your free shipping. I've bought it twice from them with no issues. I've also had good luck with filters on eBay. Bought a 4-pack of Mazda brand...

    Touch-up paint

    I tried calling Mazda to see if I could get a free bottle like mentioned above. All they did was pull up my vehicle to give me the code for the color and told me to go to a dealer.

    Play in rear-view mirror?

    Great! Sounds like that may be my fix!

    Play in rear-view mirror?

    Thanks - I'll look into that when I get a chance.

    Play in rear-view mirror?

    Definitely not a joke. I'm not angry about it or anything. I love the car. Just a general curiosity to see if it is normal for the car or brand. It's a shared car between me and my wife, so we frequently have to readjust it and that makes it an annoyance, albeit minor. Isn't the whole point of...

    Play in rear-view mirror?

    Whenever I adjust the rear-view mirror it's hard to get set exactly right and takes a few tries. It has a lot of play in it and it's almost like I have to overcompensate in my adjustment to get it right - I'll have to position it a fraction of an inch higher than it should be to allow for it to...

    Baby Seats in CX-5

    Just installed a Radian RXT rear facing last week for our 12-month-old. I'm 6'5", so I don't know how helpful my experience is, but the only way it would work for us was putting it in the middle. And that was with the angle adjuster for the seat. I tried putting it behind the passenger seat but...

    Interior Cleaning

    Microfiber cloth for the screen and damp microfiber cloth for the dash work great for me!

    Jacking point and jack stand point tips.

    Could anyone point out these locations with pictures or a schematic or something? I have to admit that I'm still a bit of a car novice and I don't really know which spots I'm looking for based on your description. Thanks!

    FF/Reverse on touchscreen head unit?

    Maybe I'm completely oblivious, but is there any fast forward and reverse functionality for the touchscreen head unit? All I see is the next/last track buttons. Thanks!

    Size of Oil Drain Plug

    It's an 8mm hex bit, not Torx. Lots of the info you're looking for has already been bounced around in a couple of the threads. Check out the one I'm linking below. Not sure what your budget is, but the Mazda branded 0W-20 full synthetic with moly received rave reviews in oil forums. I got a case...

    Condensation on inside of the windshield?

    Lots of good thoughts, guys. Thanks! I can't remember if recirc was on or not. My wife may have driven it last, so I really can't remember. Makes sense, though, that if the seals are good on the car then the quick temp drop would cause the condensation, especially if it had been on recirc and...

    Condensation on inside of the windshield?

    Pretty sure everything was closed properly, and we haven't used the windows lately. When it happened last night, the car had been sitting in the sun all day without being driven and when we got in the car around 7 pm the temp had already gone down to 32 degrees after a high temp maybe near 50...

    Condensation on inside of the windshield?

    Anyone else have any issues with condensation on the inside of the windshield? Or any idea what might cause it? It's not a regular problem - it's happened maybe 3 or 4 times since we bought our CX-5 in July - it just drives me nuts because it doesn't seem normal.

    CX-5 Class III Hitch available

    I was having the same thing happen - hearing a thunking noise mainly when accelerating from stop over some bumps. When I looked underneath I saw marks in the paint on the hitch where the part of the exhaust that goes through the hanger had been hitting the hitch. It only looked like about 1/4"...
