    Issues with new site?

    My Forum Handle doesn't appear under my Avtar and I don't see any place to edit this. When I try to update my location, I get the following error: V: Please enter a value using 20 characters or fewer. I'm well under 20 characters.

    Exploding sunroof...wtf?!

    Wow! Important thing is no one got seriously hurt. Contact your Insurance as well as Mazda and go from there. Chances are good root cause will not be found and Mazda will claim the sunroof took some kind of impact despite pressure appears to have blown outwards rather than downwards from an...

    Remove key fob battery if not using?

    I used to have the battery in the spare fob die constantly. Started putting it in an RF blocking pouch and no longer have the issue. The pouch works as I've tested it by putting the key in then bringing it with me and trying to unlock/lock with the proximity button on drivers door and even...

    For those people who changed their battery, did you use a memory savor?

    Yes, used on my Mazda 5 back in the day when I was adding a charging pigtail and had no issues with lost memory presets, power window position or ECU having to relearn itself after the disconnect. I've seen 2 devices, one that uses a 9V that plugs into a cig lighter port and one that uses the...

    Could really use some advice about my new CX-5 please

    Really hard to answer your question. If you could speak with the previous owners, you'd possibly get the answers you're looking for. Why not take it to a trusted transmission shop to have them drive and possibly give you their assessment? Not sure if the older generation had sealed...

    2017 CX5GT Doors Can Be Locked When One Or All Doors Are Open

    Yes. Why is this not normal? If you're locking with the fob 10' away you are not likely to be locking the key in the car. Wouldn't you want the car secure after the doors are closed?

    2017~2025 Best Winter Tires for the CX-5?

    17" Tires cost less than 18". Performance wise, the 18" should be better as the profile is lower making for less of a squishy ride. 17" has a high profile and provides that extra cushion with the pot holes. All of the tires you list are great performers. Further posts in this thread will...

    2020 CX5 Press Release

    There is mention of "The premium ownership experience starts with the keys, in line with Mazda*s upscale movement, a new key fob design opens the doors using a remote keyless entry system." Does the 2020 get the same credit card style remote as on the new gen Mazda 3?

    This is Freakin Crazy !!

    To avoid swirls when removing droppings is to cover the area with a cloth and let it soak with water to loosen it. Pressure washer should then be able to remove the remnants without rubbing. There's bound to be etching into the clear so clay bar/compounding is going to be required.

    Bad Fuel

    Unless you're driving a GT-R or Signature, using Premium shouldn't really make a difference in MPG.

    2013~2016 Follow-up: Re: Liftgate Issue

    Mazda door actuators are pretty weak. As the weather gets colder, you see more and more of this. E-bay has lots of rebuild kits for these actuators. I notice with my 2017, there is a slight buzz when unlocking the door now that it has gotten colder. Battery checks out for voltage and I began to...
