    CX-5 Auto Braking

    I'm confused. You essentially hit the brakes at the same time that auto braking engaged. You didn't hit the car. That sounds about just right. Did the antilock kick in? I imagine the safety braking waits until it needs to be very aggressive and then engages hard.

    12V power outlet is ON all the time (CX-5 2016). Not good :(

    The drain OP wants to measure would be upstream of this device.

    Mazda CX-5 Tire pressure monitoring

    Thanks for describing how to program the position. I wondered how that might be accomplished, and that seems like a clever, and straightforward solution.

    2021 CX-5 Wiper Blade options?

    I think the blame is seemingly unnecessarily using non-standard attachment hardware scheme so that most existing after-market wipers don't fit.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I'm a mechanical Engineer. The spec is probably 26 with a 15% tolerance either direction. Their specical spec takes the math out of it. They could say 26 +/- 4. Or just say 26, with an asterisk regarding the tolerance. But that might be too complicated for some folks. Personally I...

    Aftermarket TPMS sensors need to be programmed?

    That cautions hurts Mazda's credibility. What's so special about their wheels? I have aftermarket wheels and my original Mazda TPMS sensors, zero issues. I was cheap and didn't put sensors on my winter wheels. Next time, if there is one, I'll use aftermarket.

    Guide How to Flush brake system Mazda CX-5 DIY

    I did similar 1 man method when I prematurely changed out my brakes. What made it easier on the nerves and more fun was using an inexpensive Bluetooth endoscopic camera to watch the fluid coming out: 2013~2016 - CX-5 Brake Rotor and Pad recommendations?

    What are your favorite aspects of your CX-5?

    The Heads Up Display, and how it drives. There is a list of things I would improve, but mostly minor compared to other vehicles. It still often leaves me smiling, and 4+ years in, it still feels like everything is functioning like new.

    CX-5 vs CX-50 sales year to date

    I would greatly appreciate more towing capacity, and don't want a truck as a daily driver. The lower stance of the CX-50 is the biggest turn off for me. I'm hoping the CX-70 won't be so low, and won't bee too much bigger.

    CX-5 vs CX-50 sales year to date

    BTW, strange table. The "total" should be across the row, not down the column. Who cares how many CX5s have cumulatively been sold adding all Septembers together? The "total" should be a column next to "Dec" to see the yearly, or year-to-date, numbers.

    CX-5 vs CX-50 sales year to date

    Interesting. The two models together in 2022 don't add up to CX-5 numbers in 2021. Hopefully that is due to supply and logistics rather than demand.

    Mazda Large Product Technology Forum

    I'm most interested in the CX-70. Ideally it would be a 2nd Gen CX-5 with a plug in hybrid, higher towing capacity. Not lower seat position, and not much bigger. I'm hoping it isn't just a 5-seater CX-90. I don't need big and heavy, don't want lower to the ground or better off road...

    Thank you for explaining the reason why. That was my first question when I saw the "banned" on the oil filter response.

    2019 CX-5 Android Auto no longer working

    I had trouble with intermittent connection, and then eventually sometimes it wouldn't connect. Turned out to be the USB C port on my phone getting flaky. It still charged.

    There are no units on the torque axis. Did those get cut off?
