    Tiny Paint Chip

    Given your car is White and the bumper where the damage is Black, touch up paint would make it look a lot better. The two colors are such contrasting the damage is very apparent. Dr. Color Chip or any other touch up paint would hide the under color Black. It would make if "Great from a far...

    Wheel Locks - 2019 CX-5

    When some dealerships are doing the PDI and installing any options the customer has ordered, they take the standard lugs off and throw them into a bucket. As others have stated, the instructions Mazda and most care dealerships instruct the mechanic to do is put the OEM lugs back into the clam...

    2019 GX (Canada) - cylinder decativation

    Just to clarify on the Cdn. Models, the 2.5DPT(Direct Pressure Turbo) engines do not have CD(Cylinder Deactivation. So the GX(which is non Turbo) and GT/Signature with Turbo are Cylinder Deactivation free. Cdn. Brochure See Pg. 13 lower left

    Weird Noise from Suspension Going Over bumps at low speed '19 CX-5 GTR

    2017-2018's had a TSB that added a rubber sleeve to the top of the front coil springs. Crappy if that TSB didn't fix it and the problem is still there with the current 2019s.

    Electric Handbreak What Wheels?

    No. Do you believe electricity keeps the brake engaged? Power is only used to turn the motor to engage or disengage the brake pads.

    Rattle Help - Signature

    I've found at times the passenger seat belt gets caught up and comes into contact with the side pillar producing a rattle noise over bumps. Odd time it's a rear passenger one too. The most common one is the eyeglass holder but OP mentions it was removed.

    To many wheel weights on 19" OEM wheels? (>100 grams)

    If you wanted to reduce the # of sticky weights or have a concern something is not quite right with the balancing at the factory, suggest you take it to a reputable tire shop that has a Hunter Road Force Balancer. This device puts a load against the tire and measures it as if it's running on...

    G-Vectoring Control

    Unless you can try it on snow, you'll not feel the G-Vectoring Control really kicking in. If you're rounding a corner pretty hard, you'll feel like the car has it's brakes engaging or dragging making the car feel soft or dumb. In other words, the car does not feel out of control but moving in...

    To many wheel weights on 19" OEM wheels? (>100 grams)

    The other day when I was on the dealer lot I noticed this as well. Wondering if it is due to the wheels themselves not being manufactured well or is it due to the TPMS sensors which may be why the extra weights are required. Are these extra weights on the other side of the tire valve stem?

    2017~2025 Touch up question

    That's a pretty large size damage that touch up paint from a pen may hide from a far but far from good. As it is Soul Red Crystal, it will not be easy to match but possible to lessen the obvious damage by getting the kits that have the tri-coats. Some Auto supply stores can mix up rattle cans...

    2017~2025 Chemical Guys Polish

    Are you stating there was a problem with the Polish sticking to the paint? V36 & V38 should not be sticking to the paint as Polish is designed to smooth the surface by wearing away at the surface. If you had concerns as there was difference in application compared from car to car, were you...

    Wiper Blades

    Do you have a part # on the Bosch Icons? When I go to their website and try 2017-2018 the site lists Part number not compatible with 2018 Mazda CX-5. There is no listing for the 2019s. Does the Bosch Icons connect to the arm with no other adapter?

    2017~2025 Machine Gray Paint Bumper Repaint? Or Leave be?

    If your dealership has a body shop in house, I'd speak to them first and see some of their work. Being in a dealership, they may have more experience painting that color and likely to get good results. The last pic shows the paint has cracked and buffing will not be able to repair that. Have...
