    New Mechanic Swapped My Wife’s Engine?

    Another thing - If I took my vehicle in for oil chg, tires and brakes and they called me and said they couldn't get to it for a couple days - I'll go get it and bring it back the day they could or find another shop.

    Is this a symptom of the Ghost Touch?

    Couple of times lately the radio has started changing stations on its own. Almost like the seek button is engaged. Then it will stop and work normally for days. Not sure how the dealer could diagnose it if it's happening infrequently. Anybody that had this problem - will it get worse? 2019 CX-5

    Question on TPMS for 2016 CX-5 (not sensors)

    I didn't get new tires, only rotation. It's been couple days and the light has not returned so I'll chalk it up to distracted service tech. The service video showed him rotating and checking everything so he must of just forgot to hit the reset button.

    Mazda Service

    That and engine filters are big rip-offs. Although trying to open the glove box to replace the cabin air filter is not that easy. If you're not careful when you tilt the glove box down the whole thing will fall off. Happened to me a couple weeks ago.

    Mazda Service

    It's not nationwide as far as I know. It's just the individual dealer trying to add to their bottom line. I've had both my CX-5's into the dealer for all service for the last 10 years and never once did they try to sell me anything that I did not ask for.

    Question on TPMS for 2016 CX-5 (not sensors)

    I think you're right and he didn't reset it. I had to go back out so I reset it and drove about 8 miles and it did not come on. Hopefully that's all it was.

    Question on TPMS for 2016 CX-5 (not sensors)

    Does anybody know if the TPMS icon will light if pressure is increased in tires as opposed to psi just dropping below a programed threshold? This happened this morning - had tires rotated at dealer. Left dealer about 2 miles later the TPMS warning chimed and the dash icon lit. Stopped and...

    Contact Mazda corporate and ask them. You could always purchase a Mazda extended warrranty. I haven't heard anything about a warranty extension on the N/A engines but they did issue one for the turbos.

    FYI: Rebate of $15 @ O'Reilly Auto on motor oils

    Watch those prepaid cards, found out the hard way they're not accepted everywhere even though they're VISA. They're issued by a gift company (forget the name) and some restaurants won't take them.

    Issues Stacking Up

    With all those problems I would unload it quick. Since it was introduced around 2020 all the bugs should have been worked out by 2023. If you really like it lease a new or newer one.

    What happens when you press the TPMS switch? The icon should disappear. I think the engine needs to be running.

    Need help asap With SCBS and TPMS

    Try disconnecting the battery for about 30 mins. After re-connecting if you still have the TPMS light press the set TPMS button on the left of the steering wheel. Hopefully the SCB will reset also. Next time disconnect the battery before messing with the wiring.

    Cruise control stopped working

    If you can inspect the wires, make sure they're not frayed. If there's a harness make sure everything is plugged and tight.

    Once I had a rattle coming from the front in my Maxima. Turns out it was the catalytic converter going bad. Happened around 70,000 miles. One data point to check.
