    Amber Mazda Emblem in Gauge Cluster

    You sure it's not the TPMS icon, it kinda looks like a cockeyed "M" if you let your imagination run wild.

    No way I'd trust my daughter in a car with a quarter million miles on it. Breakdown waiting to happen. Pass.

    Buying Advice for 2014 CX-5 254K Miles?

    Good video but he's wrong when he says the transmission is a closed system and that's why he never serviced the transmission. He's been lucky. 400k on the same fluid. I'd like to see a sample of it.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Gear Shifter Button Sticking

    I wouldn't of used WD-40, it can leave a greasy residue. Try blowing some compressed air in just in case there's some dirt in there. If no luck, then try some silicon spray, let it sit for a few minutes then try working the button in and out. See if it frees up. If it doesn't free up you will...

    Confused about SD card

    Most of the cards bought on Amazon or Ebay will not allow updates. If you don't need up-to-date Nav then that should work since alot of people get the Nav for the speed limits that appear in the HUD. If your area is not experiencing a lot of new development then you should be OK. The secret is...

    2017~2025 CX-5 upgraded screen issue

    There's a fix for the ghost touch problem by removing the touch screen ability. It's outlined on this site with step by step procedures. A few have used it and it works, but you lose the touch ability which most people don't use anyway. In your case you have already replaced the screen but it...

    2017~2025 When to change CX-5 Rear Differential Fluid?

    2017~2025 When to change CX-5 Rear Differential Fluid?

    I don't think Mazda has a set schedule for changing the fluid. What kind of change schedule are people that just drive normally using? I have 54,xxx on my 19 and the fluid has never been changed. I know Honda has a pretty tight schedule for changing diff fluid. Usually the first change is...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Bose Infotainment Settings Gone

    I have the original firmware in my 16 also. Couple years ago I had a glitch where the radio wouldn't play but it went away after the car was shutdown and restarted. Saturday was the first time I experienced an issue with the infotainment since then. In 10 years 2 problems that cleared after a...

    Common issues with 2022 CX-5? Extended Warranty Needed?

    Good point. That's why after Mazda issued the warranty extension on the cyclinder head crack I decided to keep my extended warranty, just in case. Saturday my infotainment on my 16 starting acting up. You just never know whats going to fail and how much it's going to cost.

    Common issues with 2022 CX-5? Extended Warranty Needed?

    There were some early issues with CD around 2019 and 2020 but Mazda seems to have cleared that issue up. Haven't heard any problems in the last couple years. There's been posts about cracked cylinder heads but they've been basically pre 2020's. Haven't seen much on vehicles post 2020. Have...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Bose Infotainment Settings Gone

    Looks like it's time for the 2015 Tourings to start having problems with the Infotainment system. Last night I came out of a restaurant started the car and waited for the flash drive to resume playing. All I got on the screen was the big square box with the "X" denoting mute. I tried to...

    Common issues with 2022 CX-5? Extended Warranty Needed?

    Kinda depends if you plan on keeping it past the Powertrain warranty of 5yrs/60,000 miles. I bought the Mazda extended warranty on our 19 due to the turbo cracked head issue. Couple months after I purchased the warranty Mazda issued the extended warranty for the head issue. Since I plan on...

    CX-5 2.5L 194hp vs 187hp engine differences?

    Do you remember where you read it at? That's such a small difference in HP. Not like the turbo where it's 227hp with regular, add premium gas and it's 250 hp.

    CX-5 2.5L 194hp vs 187hp engine differences?

    Some manufacturers do tunes so they can sell different versions of the same car with different options and different horsepower. This is rampant in the computer industry where you can have the same exact machine but running at different MIPS. Of course, you have to pay more for more MIPS.

    Should I do the following scheduled maintenance?

    Change the tranny fluid now. Mazda upgraded the coolant to inhibit rust but I don't know what year they started using it. Somebody here will probably chime in.
