    2019~2025 Remote starter on Mazda3...Seeking feedback

    Hello Mazda3 owners, this may have been covered already in the past but wasn’t able to find the old threads but have any of you had an aftermarket remote starter successfully installed on your 2019-2020 Mazda3? Not those Fortin or drone mobile type but rather the key fob type ones like...

    Turbocharged AWD Mazda3 for 2021 model year

    Congrats on the new ride! Just out of curiosity, did you get a good deal/discount from the Mazda dealer? Since it’s new, I think dealers may be reluctant to discount it esp when demand is high and there aren’t a lot of inventory yet...

    Quick questions about the new Mazda3 Turbo

    I have a 2019 Mazda 6 and the EPB engages automatically (locks) when you shift the gear into Park but only when you have activated the brake hold feature during your drive. If you don’t use the BH feature and put gear into park, the car doesn’t engage the EPB. So, when you start the car the...

    Rear HVAC user tips? 2019 CX-9 Signature

    The only way to select and control the air direction in the REAR HVAC is by manually selecting the flow from the rear. You cannot control airflow in the rear from the dash up front. Pressing the REAR button on the dash does nothing other than toggling between on/off. If you press REAR on the...

    "New-to-me" owner of a '19 Signature just checking in to introduce myself

    I don‘t think hood is aluminum since it’s heavy...aluminum is obviously lighter than steel but I used to have a Volvo prior to CX9 and that had a “composite” or hard plastic hood (which was way lighter than steel)...that was their purpose for having composite hoods to reduce weight and avoid...

    CX-9 Liftgate (trunk door) closing automatically when I'm underneath. Why?

    Have you looked at the possibility that you may be accidentally hitting the trunk button on the key fob while in your pocket? This happened to me in the past without realizing it and the trunk would open accidentally only to find out the key fob’s in my front jeans’ pocket and whenever I lean...

    2014~2021 Going to war with Mazda re: rear brakes

    I was recently looking at a 2018 Mazda 6 GT trim with only 25K km mileage to possibly swap/upgrade with my 8month old 2019 GS (Sport) trim that has only 6K km (realized wanted more features) but according to a Carfax report it had 9 service entries on record over a span of 2yrs which is quite...

    How reliable has your CX-9 been?

    Sad to hear about your bad recent experience with the CX9...can‘t blame you for feeling that way. I’ve had my 2017 CX9 for 3.5yrs and it’s been trouble free for me...I guess there are some bad apples out for every bunch and no vehicle is perfect or immune to any type of issue. Good luck in...

    2014~2021 Going to war with Mazda re: rear brakes

    This is true...I’ve taken 3 Mazda vehicles (CX9, CX3 and recently a 6) already to Kal Tire for minor tire/brake/suspension work (maintenance) and they didn’t have any problems with the EPB (all of the 3 models have them) and no screw ups whatsoever

    2014~2021 Going to war with Mazda re: rear brakes

    Another strategy you can do if the independent shop really isn’t an option is to get a service repair quote from your usual Mazda dealer and get a quote from the other one with the premise that you’re getting the best quote from them to earn/maintain your business vs other repair shops but...

    2014~2021 Going to war with Mazda re: rear brakes

    Hate to say it but your issue is more of a wear component item which any warranty will not cover even if you have those extended warranties. While I understand your predicament, there isn’t much the dealer or Mazda Cda can do as they do have a point in that the car isn’t driven much so rust...

    Calling on 2017 CX-5 Owners - Reliability

    Aside from the CrossClimate tires, did you consider the Nokian WRG4? Heard the CrossClimates not as quiet due to road noise...I’ve had WRG3 and WRG4 and the WRG4s are quieter than the G3’s

    no it doesn't come with that even from when it was delivered brand new from factory or dealership. It does come though with floor mats for the 3rd row as well...just no mats for the center hump or tunnel in the 2nd row

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    Just going thru the thread about this Cyl deactivation issue now that I have just bought a 2019 6 and dealer claims to have reprogrammed the PCU on my vehicle last week prior to delivery/pick up. Just wanted to know your experience since they've replaced the engine if you are still having an...
