    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    As other people have mentioned, there were 26 that the MOCO knew of back in October. Also, keep in mind, the percentage of CX-5 owners that are actually on this forum is very minuscule. So it may appear on here that the problem is minuscule. But, believe me if this happened to you, it becomes...

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    MyFirstMazda you may be right on this. It could be the reason Mazda refuses to reflash all new vehicles on the lot. They may not be sure what is truly the cause. Remember, all of this happened to me back in October and this problem was still in its infancy. Maybe since then they have...

    I asked the Mazda dealership to disable CD on mine when they installed the new engine and they said they couldn't do that. So dang frustrating!!!

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    yrwei52 I believe you made the right choice in not buying the 2018. Mine is on a 3 year lease with 2 years remaining. I have tried to get out of the lease by moving up to the new CX-5 reserve with the Turbo at the same dealership that I bought the 18 at but it is going to cost me an arm and a...

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    Thanks for this info t.suv. So again I ask why is there no recall. My vehicle had this issue back in October of 2018. This bulletin is dated 4-8-19. And I know that my vehicle was number 19 that they knew of then. By the time I got my vehicle out of the shop they knew of 26 that had...

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    The cause of the rocker arm falling off is low oil pressure on the lifter during cylinder deactivation. This is due to the wrong programming in the PCM. My dealership told me that they were informed by Mazda that they had two suppliers of this PCM and one of the suppliers had the wrong program...

    My wife and I could have died. Do not call bs. Call the Mazda dealership in Pasco Washington. I have a lot better things to do than make up stuff to randomly post on a Mazda forum. I am trying to get the word aout about this so maybe it will save a life. If you choose to disregard that is...

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    You obviously havent read the whole thread. To understand what is happening go back and read the whole thread. No springs broke. These are hydraulic lifters. The problem is with the cylinder deactivation.

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    I agree. I feel they should recall all of the vehicles that have cylinder deactivation (CX-5 and 6), reflash the PCM, and do a visual inspection to make sure the rocker is in place at least. But it has been almost 6 months since my engine was replaced and I tried for a long time to ge them to...

    18' CX5 Limp Mode at Redline

    The dealership said Mazda was taking all of the engines back that were experiencing this issue at the time. Not sure how they are handling it now. My car had less than 9000 miles on it when they replaced the engine.
