    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    @Anchroman: The wheels and tires were not flagged as problematic by their roadforce machine. I do not think they had the most modern and advanced version, but it "passed" after adding .25 ounce weights to each wheel. Visually, tires and wheels looked ok to me and the tech. No abnormal wear...

    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    Car is fixed. Props to the crew over at Patrick Mazda in MA. Took them on a test drive in my car. Confirmed vibration even after they've roadforce balanced and swapped on the tires from a loaner that was very smooth on highway. Service manager suggested taking never before driven CX5 for...

    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    Yikes, what a typo! I have Touring AWD 2018 CX-5 in MA. I agree the 98 miles were high. The interesting thing is we test drove this vehicle brand new a couple months before we purchased it. It had the plastic on it everywhere and single digit miles on the odometer. I didnt notice the 98...

    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    98 miles on the cock when we took delivery. In fact the vibration is worse with the swapped tires.

    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    Roadforce improved but still vibration. Swapped tires with loaner they gave me that was smooth. Still bit of vibration. They happened to give me a 2018 cx5 as loaner. That one was smooth on same roads. Frustrated.

    Seat Gap Filler for Extra Storage

    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    The dealer is waiting to hear back from Mazda to decide on next steps. I think they are trying to get approval to pay a third party tire store to check the balance. I do not believe the tires were rotated during the balance as it's not on the work order.

    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    They balanced all 4 according to the work order. I just double checked the wheels, I can see new weights on all 4 wheels. FWIW, this has happened to others: https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-cx-5-54/cx-5-touring-vibration-39336...

    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    I can tell they put new weights on 2 of the 4 tires after doing the wheel balance. It's definitely much improved. Used to feel it everywhere including through the steering wheel. Now, steering wheel is ok, but I feel the vibration through the seat. I can also see my phone shaking a bit in...

    New 2018 CX-5 Vibration at Highway Speeds

    Recently picked up 2018 Touring CX-5. Noticed vibration between 60-75 MPH on highway. Present even on freshly paved highways, just coasting, accelerating, up and downhill. Dealer re-balanced the wheels and it improved. However, vibration is still present. I've asked them to do a roadforce...

    2005-2006 Era 17" Mazda 3 Wheels on 2018 CX-5?

    Thanks for the confirmation everyone. Any thoughts on moving to a 215/65 R17? It's about 1.8% smaller compared to 225/65. The advantages I see are, price is about $20 less per tire compare to the 225/65, and the marginally thinner tire might give slightly better snow traction. Anybody run...

    Who's added Android Auto and other AIO tweaks via serial port recently?

    Thanks for the reply alphadog00 and PMs with abeln2672. It turns out the issue was the pins on the wire were too short to make proper contact. Easy fix, cut the pins off, strip the wire to about 1.5 inches. Plug in and it was good to go. Taking off the trim was surprisingly easy with $10...

    Who's added Android Auto and other AIO tweaks via serial port recently?

    Any of you Serial Hack Ninjas help clarify the serial wiring? When I look at the power and more connector, do you push the tx and rx into the far right ports that have no existing wiring going in? Or the ports that already have the wires present? If you are looking at the screen, is it the...

    2005-2006 Era 17" Mazda 3 Wheels on 2018 CX-5?

    2004-2006 Era 17" Mazda 3 Wheels on 2018 CX-5? I just picked up a 2018 CX-5. I have the OEM wheels from our old 2005 Mazda3 still. Could we use them on the CX-5 for winters? I'm thinking too narrow? Specs from the Mazda3 wheels: Bolt pattern - 5x114.3 Size - 17-inch Width - 6.5 inches...
