    Excessive Brake Fade When Fully Loaded

    I would verify with fresh pads, surfaced rotors and bleed brake fluid. Who knows what pads are on there or how old fluid is? How much weight you are loading the vehicle with during the camping cargo loads?(rockon) I believe the max payload is 1006lbs.

    Question about 1st gen CX-5 gas tank capacity.

    It is definitely exciting... (ugh) I reserve this method for use when there is no known traffic jam areas ahead, and flat roads.(peep)

    Question about 1st gen CX-5 gas tank capacity.

    Most I can recall putting into our AWD's is 14.5-14.7 gallons. This is after running 30-35 miles past RANGE 0. If I reach an area where I will need to run past the 0 range, here is my tried and true method: I reset my trip odometer B to zero, once I reach 0 miles on the range, this way I can...

    How many miles, until you had to change your struts?

    The yellows are adjustable.(huh) https://www.koni-na.com/en-US/NorthAmerica/Products/Cars/https://www.koni-na.com/en-US/NorthAmerica/Products/Cars/

    2017~2025 Noisy CX-5 GT

    Toyo tires have been around since post WW2 in August of 1945, and they have been in the US since 1966. If you know tires, I am not sure why you have never heard of them before? Check your tire pressure, they probably still have 50-55 psi in them from the boat ride.

    Good bye to the 6

    I too pine for the 6wagon, and coincidentally, it is also the Buick Regal TourX wagon that has caught my eye as a comparable. Looking forward to hearing what you think about your new ride!...

    Engine Breaking, New Car

    With the automatic transmission logic, it is impossible to overrev the motor. Mazda engineers designed it to be foolproof. (bow)

    Steering wheel audio controls works sometimes, sometimes not

    Your ohms impedance might be changing just enough during temps to be out of the programmed range that you gave the PAC to detect. (scratch)

    Steering wheel audio controls works sometimes, sometimes not

    Not familiar with this particular PAC. If it is direct-convertor, or is it programmed? Last one I did was on Mazda5... But the interface was programmed by the user to the different wheel functions. My issue was fixed by re-programming the PAC interface. There is not a separate wire for each...

    Rx8 wheels? Gonna give it a try...

    Nice, looking forward to pics!(hippy) This is the same setup I wanted to install if I had some extra $$, Along with some upgraded struts, shocks and springs.(bow)

    Next Gen CX-5 Design and Content Suggestions

    2017 was an all-new redesign, I do not know of many parts that swap between the first and 2nd gen. I believe the next redesign/model won't be until the CX-50 comes, probably will be announced late 2020, and available early 2021ish.

    2013~2016 Can I upgrade my CX5 to have Navigtion?

    2013~2016 Can I upgrade my CX5 to have Navigtion?

    Yes, what you need is a module that replaces the cubby hole down to the left and below the steering wheel. Sometimes called a TOM TOM module since that is the manufacturer of the software. In addition to the SD card that goes into the TOM TOM navi module. Most here would argue that this...

    2013~2016 Command Knob Issue - Won't Scroll on Rotate

    That is a great way to explain it. I was wondering how I was going to word it...(bow) To test if the rotation of the command knob operates, go to the radio, FM or AM, and go to the manual tuning knob. When you rotate the command knob does the dial on the screen rotate?

    Could really use some advice about my new CX-5 please

    I would not be concerned at all. The car is 4.5 years old. Any issues with the old transmission went away when they replaced the transmission with another transmission. Is the concern you have with the fact that the car has had a repair? Or are you concerned that replacing transmissions is...

    Strange sound while braking....

    Yep, sounds right! If you do as Anchorman suggests, I think you will fix your issue.

    Strange sound while braking....

    Any chance there was a tire dressing sprayed on at the car wash, or detailer or something where some overspray could have gotten onto the rotor? My first choice of attack would be remove the wheels, and to wash/flush the front pads and wipe down the rotors with some brake cleaner spray...

    CX-5 New (OEM) Tires Question

    I would think you would get a better return reselling the old ones after you switch them out? Either here, ebay, to a used tire dealer, or even the tire place you get installed at. I doubt the dealer would do anything for you, even though a smart dealer "theoretically", could use your old...

    Unnecessary spark plug replacement?

    Nothing to replace. Just replace the spark plugs.
