    TPMS Thoughts (2019 CX-5 GT)

    My TPMS light came on the other morning in my 2019 CX 5 GT when I pulled out of my driveway and started down the street. When I got back home I pulled my trusty pancake compressor out and filled the tires. Since it doesn't indicate which tire is low I topped them all off. I assumed I would have...

    Ghost in the infotainment

    My 2019 infotainment system suddenly started changing songs I was playing from a thumb drive I had plugged in. It only lasted @30 seconds but I was surprised. I didn't get a chance to switch to the radio to see if it did it there also. Not too concerning but I was wondering if this has happened...

    Thoughts on the 2019 CX-5 Seats

    I recently had a surprising experience. I won't bore anyone with the back story but due to no fault of my own I had to turn my 2019 into a body shop. My insurance supplied me with a rental that turned out to be a Mitsubishi SUV. I didn't care for much about it but the seats were very...

    2013 CX-5 Won't Start...What could be wrong?

    Sounds like a short has developed. Check and see if you cut a wire in the area you were working by mistake. If you have a meter see if there's a short between the positive battery cable and ground.

    Next Gen CX-5 Design and Content Suggestions

    It would be nice if there was some way of opening all windows with the remote to let heat built up in the car out. Especially these days with the warnings about the heat.

    Mazda Cylinder Deactivation questions

    This has probably been beaten to death but I just watched a you tube Mazda explanation of how it works. It occured to me that there was no mention of the injector being turned off. I guess you have to assume that? Also with both valves being closed during that time isn't the engine working...

    CX-5 Cylinder Deactivation questions

    I have a 2019 CX5. What years did CD start and do all have it but if not how to tell if I have it?

    2018 CX-5 Siren/Whoop noise

    I have had a similar noise since I've had my 2019. It seems to only come when I'm at idle and true or not I've decided it's a ventilation noise possibly coming from the gas tank. Hasn't affected anything so I ignore it.

    Doing the brakes when you're old...

    Well I made one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made for a while. I replaced the pads and rotors on all four wheels myself. I had an electric scissor jack and jacked one side and put jack stands at both ends. I did it so I could rotate the tires also. So I did a side at a time and got it all...

    2019 CX-5 Brake questions

    I was told I would soon need pads and was wondering how many replaced rotors at the same time. Seems like if you take them that far apart why not replace rotors also?

    CX-5 Year, Mileage and Repairs

    I don't consider items that are replaced because of wear repairs. Mine's a 2019 and I replaced tires once. Can't count the number of oil and filter (cabin, engine) changes. Other than routine that so far is all that's been done but next tire rotation I'll replace the brakes.

    CX-5 Serpentine Belt and Tensioner Quote from Dealer

    I'm not an engineer but this brings to mind why didn't they just make the tensioner a spring type like so many other autos use. Maybe I'm just old and am used tocars with distributors where you had to set the point gap, dwell and replace the condenser, rotor and distributor cap. Oh well!

    Headlights not turning-on on 'Auto' (2019 CX-5)

    The automatic feature is controlled by the light stalk. It has to be in the forward position to be "on". It could be a problemwith the switch.

    Ugh...Tired of seeing the CX-5 everywhere

    In my opinion people are underestimating Mazda. They are a world class car. Yes it's a small company but they try harder and give you more for your money. Some with other suv's have them because they have more storage room for families, not a whole lot more but some. Yes some on this board have...
