Missing info is what does your repair shop say about the issue?

I've had good luck with automotivetouchup.com

"Mazda fault code U053B means the Image Processing Module "A" is sending invalid data or there is a communication error with a vehicle module. The error comes from the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and could be due to a malfunction of the FSC itself, the Body Control Module (BCM), or the...

Mazda’s implementation of the stop/start system is among the best, if not THE best, of all manufacturers. You may have read that their system cleverly stops the engine at TDC and uses the spark to assist the restarting process, thereby reducing the load on the starting motor. That's pretty much...

"Only some 2024 models (any trim) with L vs M in the Vin. Due to shortages at that time. I think built from Oct 2023 till sometime early 2024." Isn't that what txt990 said?^^^

I believe some later models came w/o CDA because of a parts shortage. Nothing to do with cracked heads. You're safe buying one of them.

You should not notice CDA in day-to-day driving. It's pretty damn seamless unless (maybe) you have a sixth sense about things mechanical. I didn't like the idea of my wife's '23 having it either, but I have to admit I never think about it in use.

Where do you live that an insurance company can dictate where repairs are made? I know they can't do that in Calif. I had my windshield replaced at the shop of my choice using OE glass and State Farm was glad to pay the bill.

News to me?!

Your pics are all sideways!

"up until 2025 models, Mazda uses a non variable AC compressor" So how does an variable compressor differ in operation?

They were commonly called "heat risers" and were commonly used on all manner of Detroit engines back in the day.

Hardly the same as F/R curb weight distribution. Here's another AI-generated response to the question "What is the front to rear weight distribution of an AWD Mazda CX-5?" The AWD Mazda CX-5 has a front to rear weight distribution of approximately 56:44. This means that 56% of the vehicle's...

I would question how AI came to that conclusion. I can't find anywhere else on the internet that makes that claim.

Where did you ever get the idea that any CX-5 (turbo or otherwise) could possibly have 50/50 weight distribution!? If anything, the turbo model is even more front end heavy that the NA model due to the added weight of the turbo hardware. Remember, these are essentially FWD vehicles (like your 6)...

Hard to imagine anyone would mistake a CX-50 for a Cx-30 since the former is much closer in size to the CX-5 and the latter is absolutely dinky inside. Last time I took my CX-5 in for service, they gave me a Cx-30 to run an errand in and every time I went to look over my shoulder to the left I...

What’s the point of an app that gives you the same info as the dash light?

They did and he won't. The CX-5 hybrid will be released as a '27 and a lot will change between now an then concerning tariffs and many other things automotive.

What he said^^^^. Where else would they have been built?

And then there's this from yesterday's Autoline Daily under the heading "OEMs spend $28 billion/year on warranty" Last year, all the automakers in the U.S., both domestic and import, spent $28 billion on warranty claims. That includes $13.6 billion for labor and $14.7 billion for parts, which is...
