    2017 GT AWD - High Pitch Noise - Transmission?

    Does it sound like this in video ? I had it too on brand new 2016.5 CX-5 , it eventually went away by itself, I think new parts just breaking in, or need to clean brake pads / rotors

    LED turn signals blink as same time, anyone know why?

    did you add load resistors ? The car thinks your turn signals are out because the LED draws so little current so the fast blinking is a warning to you that your turn signal bulb is out even though you have an LED light bulb in there, you have to "trick" the car to think you have a regular...

    2016 CX-5 Full System Install (non-Bose, standard audio with display)

    nice work, thanks for sharing, one thing though, with all that modification on a basically brand new 2016, would dealer give you a hard time for warranty if something goes wrong with the car even if it's mechanical like the transmission and say the warranty is voided due to all the...

    anyone condition their CV boot joints or brake caliper boots ?

    just wondering if anyone conditions their CV boot joints or brake caliper boots to prevent them from drying out and cracking ? read somewhere some products do more damage than good, so just wondering if anyone here can recommend something or better to just leave those rubber parts alone...

    Jittery, choppy ride on a '15. Tires, springs or??

    hey jusuchin, did you ever take it in to the dealer and get this resolved. I have a 2016.5 also and feel the lurching in stop and go traffic and jittering when climbing up hills also. I took it in the dealer and got the standard "they all drive like that, the suspension is firm for...

    CX-5 Oil Change with Filter

    doesn't Amazon or some eBay sellers ship to Australia? Agree with other posters stick with the OEM filter for the Skyactiv engine..... they're pretty cheap on Amazon, sold in packs of 10, bad thing is they don;t come with the aluminum washer...... you want p/n 1WPE-14-302 for CX-5

    Jittery, choppy ride on a '15. Tires, springs or??

    I'm glad you posted this, you're not alone, I thought it was just me and my OCD, I have the same exact symptoms as you describe, I have a 2016.5 GT with 19" , at first I thought it was the larger size wheels and firm ride and just needed to get used to it, rotated tires and still the same...

    Fit and finish

    pictures seems like it was taken from a weird angle that no one would ever see from a sitting position from the passenger seat (up close / odd angle bird's eye view) and an oversight on Mazda's part..... do you still see the gap when you're sitting in the passenger seat sitting at a normal...

    The Retrofit Source: Morimoto XB LED Fog Light Housings for Mazda

    1200 lumens isn't that much....I think these are good for short range which these are designed for ... these are proper fog lights, but for those looking to supplement their main headlights to brighten up the foreground to get a better vision of road potholes/debris further up ahead , I...

    2017 CX-5 Wipers

    agree.... eventually things will settle down and more aftermarket wipers with the new connection will appear.... the problem mainly stemmed from new CX-9 owners during their first winter and the expensive OEM were really sub-par in wiping cleanly during the winter, even after paying for new...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Rear Diff and Transfer Case Fluid Change: Tools, Parts and Links

    good video for the front transfer case for those who are up in miles and need to do...... just my 2 cents.... I think @ 40,000 miles or even 35,000 miles it should be done.... rear diff should be very similar but don't need ramps and no plastic panels to take off, there's enough clearance...

    2017 CX-5 owners with LED fogs .... how bright and effective are they ?

    I found a video on youtube, but it looks like an overseas Cx-5 since driver is on right hand side and I see a CD player above center vents..... my gosh, look at the cutoff and super long distance illumination in the first 15 seconds of video, do they have a different LED system overseas ...

    Issues with car locking automatically

    +1 this is how mine works... one caveat though, If you move away from the car before all the doors are closed i.e. stragglers, the doors WILL NOT LOCK automatically and you will be susceptible to theft, that's why I always press lock button just to be safe.....

    2017 CX-5 Pics Thread

    I agree it's for safety also, mine lit up also during road trip with 4 passengers, I ALWAYS check my tire pressure before long trips and all were good before our trip. Six hours into the trip, the TPMS lit up on the highway , I had no idea I had a slow leak, must have picked up a nail...

    great pics Tomcat ! thx, wife was set and going to buy the new CX-5 with the white leather, then your pic convinced her otherwise, not happy about the extra cost for tire pressure sensors, I guess we can just bite the bullet and get them for the winter wheel set or just forget them and...
