    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    We'll at 40,000miles, the drivers side DRL just went out on our CX-5. The passenger side was replaced a few months ago by the dealer, but they made a point of letting us know they were "doing us a favor" by covering it since it was out of warranty. Time to put in another call and see if they'll...

    How long did your brake pads last?

    We just passed 40,000 miles, and rear pads are at 3mm. Dealer says he's out of stock...ha ha, wonder why!

    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    All the parts to do it yourself are already available for purchase if you know where to look. Sucks that Mazda is charging so much for something that actually costs so little (hardware wise). I'm guessing they are trying to get a decent return on the cost of software development (integration...

    2019 CX-9 feature list

    The only thing on that list that worries me is the "retuned suspension", I really hope that re-tuned does not = softer. I think the current ride is perfect for this car. Also i'm excited to see which XM connected services they offer AND if that will be integrated into the Navigation (weather and...

    Installed paddle shifters in my CX-9

    Comparing your part numbers to the fische, two items worry me. The rear cover and the paddle harness. There seem to be three options for the rear cover: 1)W/o Heat, W/o Paddles - TK4832049A02, this appears to be discontinued? 2)W/ heat, W/o Paddles - TK48-32-049D-02 3)w/o heat, w/ paddles -...

    Guide 2nd Generation CX-9: Aftermarket oil catch can installation

    Nice job, and great write up. Keep us informed about how much oil ends up in the OCC. I've been wavering about whether or not to do this mod, and I'd love some real world data.

    2016 CX-5 Power Loss

    Completely possible. My wife can get overwhelmed easily, especially when the girls are acting up/crying. I think I'm just going to make a note of this and not sweat it unless it happens again. If it does, i'll switch cars with her until I can recreate the problem and go from there.

    New firmware

    This is correct. The dealer may have turned on this feature as your picture doesn't really appear to be the firmware screen.

    2016 CX-5 Power Loss

    She's just crossing 40,000 miles now. Yes, I asked her about how long she was driving with the chime, and she told me she stopped at a road about 2 miles away, so a good ways. But I think you're right, there's something else going on. Oddly enough, the car was just serviced by our...

    2016 CX-5 Power Loss

    The truth (like I just did). I put a crate of old video games, a jug of kitty litter and some big old motorcycle books on the seat and could not get the "airbag off" light to go out. So no incessant ding, and no power loss. I can't imagine the diaper bag was heavier than all of that stuff, and...

    2016 CX-5 Power Loss

    This is exactly why I asked the question, this does not seem like a safe implementation of any sort of seatbelt enforcement. I've never had a car act like that, and have never heard of one acting like that. But I figured i' d put it out there to see if anyone experienced anything similar...

    2016 CX-5 Power Loss

    Those are my thoughts as well, and I will try the experiment tomorrow and see what happens.

    2016 CX-5 Power Loss

    So I did a quick search and haven't come across this particular issue, so I figured I'd ask and see if anyone else has experienced something similar. Vehicle in Question: 2016 Mazda CX-5, AWD, GT+Tech Issue: My wife was driving down the road with our two kids in the back, and a diaper bag on...

    Any word on 2019 changes?

    I'm curious if you guys get the owner surveys Mazda sends out? I generally get 1-2/year/car. I make sure to note all of the items on my wish list on those owner surveys. At least that way I know they are seeing what their customers want in their future vehicles. I think if everyone did that...

    2018 CX-9 liftgate Window - Does it open independently?

    And Jeep grand cherokee. I'd bet there are others as well. OP either way, that's not a good way to run the vehicle as it sucks in exhaust gasses as you drive down the road.

    2018 CX-9 liftgate Window - Does it open independently?

    (iagree) I've brought home 8' lumber in mine, completely within the car (all seats folded) and it had room for more. I'm continually surprised by what will fit back there.

    License Plate Bumper Plugs

    Cheap and easy, like it! I'm really glad the dealer never bothered to drill the front bumper for plates on mine. Still expecting to get pulled over for it though...(peep)

    2016 CX-9 Turbo Whistle

    Yep, If I drive it hard (which I do *sometimes*) and turn off the music, I can hear the turbo spool up. (iagree) Kinda wish it was louder too!

    Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    Nice, so many people getting an early jump on this, I might just do it myself too. Think i'll do the wifes CX-5 first, since she's having issues keeping her phone charged anyway. Can't believe it's taking so long for Mazda to roll this out.
