    Nav system CX-5 help! I'm getting crazy!!

    Welcome to the forum Alberto! Sorry I don't have any great advice but if this was one of the free map updates since purchasing your vehicle then Mazda should be able to help you out - either through the dealership or by phone. My nav was recently reset for some reason after my last oil...

    Transfer Case oil leak and lip seal change?

    FWIW, I had a problem with a transfer case and transmission on a previous vehicle, after many months and $$ the problem ended up being a small leak in the rad was leaking into the tranny and cause all kinds of problems...as it diluted the oil. Part of it was a shoddy Chevy dealer that ended up...

    Questions for Red CX-5 Owners

    Good day, my Soul Red experience covers touch ups to two entire doors being repainted due to a parking lot scratch. I didn't really want red but wanted the sand coloured leather so dog hair wouldn't show up and could only get that in red or black. Having previously come from a black vehicle...

    What do people use to clean touch screen?

    +1 for damp microfiber cloth (I use the cloth I dried the vehicle with after washing).

    Rear brakes gone at 15k..

    This won't help you kdaug but your replies brought my post back to my attention. Since my April dealership visit I was back 2 more times. In April the pads measured by the dealer at 4-5mm and soon needed to be replaced. In August pads measured by dealer were at 6mm and showed as "Good" on the...

    2017 mazda cx-5 vs bmw x1 vs audi q3 vs lexus nx vs mercedes-benz gla mashup review

    Good day, Here's an interesting video Google served up to me yesterday. That Dave Coleman fellow is excellent for Mazda. I understand the reviewers point that people will buy these premium brands for the name more often than for what it can do but it is impressive to see Mazda strive for...

    Keeping top of dashboard clean - what type of detergant or cleaner is recommended

    I use a damp microfibre cloth (water only) to clean it (unless you're eating off of it there is only dust and in my case dog hair that floats around) then use 303 - which I learned about here. I could not find it in Canada and ordered from Amazon - great product and will last a long time. I...

    Autolock not always locking

    FWIW, I haven't had the door locking issue for a couple of weeks - I did two things that may have resolved it and am not sure which. I replaced the batteries but as one poster said, if having it in your pocket was sufficient enough to unlock the door why wouldn't it lock - but hey, weak...

    First cx5 failure

    I tried locking the door today, inside the car, with the key fob and it will lock the door. I didnt' try pressing the button on the door handle to see if that works. Interesting how differing needs have to be taken into account - some time ago people wanted to know how to leave their keys in...

    First cx5 failure

    I rarely press any buttons on my keyfob and let the autolock do it's thing (as wonky as that can be as I've explained a few times) and it just came up saying weak battery - that's 26 months. I switched to the other keyfob and it's working and will replace the batteries in both at the same time...

    Autolock not always locking

    This was recently discussed here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123856370-Alarm-issues-car-got-broken-into-can-you-help I think it happens 1 in 40 times but I can't make it happen so the dealer hasn't done anything. I agree that we should find another way to lock it that is...

    Alarm issues - car got broken into - can you help?

    Of course or press the lock button on the fob which I did for 12 years with my previous vehicle - or go around and manually press the lock switches on each door which we did before any electronics. If there is a feature it should work or be repaired if it doesn't work. There are always...

    Alarm issues - car got broken into - can you help?

    I am the only person in the car - it does have something to do with where I am standing when the door closes - but sheesh it is me and a key in my pocket and no the pocket is not lined with lead or tin foil. I've tried rushing away and can't repeat it. It is glitchy and not dependable - it...

    Alarm issues - car got broken into - can you help?

    For what it is worth - my car was broken into as well and I pay attention now to the "autolock" feature - the car will NOT lock every single time. About 1 in 40 times it does not lock. I used to notice this when coming to the car and pressing the black button on the door handle and it would...

    Navigation Reviews and Thoughts wanted

    I voted that it was worth it due to convenience - the TOMTOM system does work well at getting you to your location. I find the voice recognition works reliably with addresses too (about the only thing VR does work with). I do not like the POI at all, as mentioned above it does suck. But...

    Window problem

    I had mine in for the 24 month service yesterday and the 2015 is covered by the TSB mentioned earlier - they've ordered parts in and will fix it. Interestingly, the first time I took it in (late 2014) there were no parts ordered for it. It sure helps when you can refer to a TSB - thanks to...

    Window problem

    Good day I had this happen in a 2015 GT, right from the beginning and I took it in and the dealer fixed it almost 2 years ago. For the past few months I've noticed it again and will have to get it looked at next time it is in.

    Not shifiting out of park and then a light show!

    In another vehicle I had the weird dash light issue and it turned out to be that I had not tightened the clamps enough for a new battery I installed. So my very inexperienced mechanical advice would be to check the battery, connections and ensure it is clean.

    Rear brakes gone at 15k..

    At my last oil change (1.6 years old, 25,000 km) I was told I'll need new rear brakes. I told they service manager that seemed crazy to me and he said they'll take a look at it in August at the 2nd year annual service. I don't have the measurements handy. Last year I went against what most...
