    Nut came loose from overhead panel?

    A nut (see attachment) came loose somewhere above my 2013 Touring's plastic overhead panel (where the overhead light switches, sunroof switch, sunglasses container, etc. are). It was rolling around and rattling above the panel, so I bumped the panel with my hand and eventually got it to roll out...

    Acceleration tip

    I'm a huge fan of the Manual Mode whenever I know I'm about to need a quick surge of acceleration, such as when darting around a bicyclist I've been stuck behind, etc. That way there's no delay or guesswork with the shifting.

    How to adjust TomTom voice volume?

    Yes, it took me awhile to figure that out. I had the slider all the way over at 100%, yet I could just barely hear the voice. Then on a whim I tried turning the physical audio knob while she was speaking and viola... I could adjust the volume to hear it. But you only get a few seconds before the...

    How to adjust TomTom voice volume?

    Nevermind :) I dug up the TomTom manual, and I see it mentions tapping the center icon when in Driving Mode. I was trying to change it via Settings when not navigating anywhere.

    How to adjust TomTom voice volume?

    I'm probably going to feel really silly missing something obvious, but how do I change (increase) the volume of the Tom Tom turn-by-turn voice guidance? You know, the "Left turn ahead" kind of prompts? I've seen options for changing the Tom Tom voice selection and options in BlueTooth Setup...

    Did advertising pursuade you?

    Female here. The ads didn't influence me, but they kinda added to the "hype" and fun when shopping/purchasing it as it was a new design at the time (2013 model). But I'm an unfair sample, as I had an RX-8 previously and already knew about the CX-5 for quite awhile. I wanted something that was...

    CX-5 rattles

    Same here, it's really a night/day difference on cold days versus warm. The dash rattles in number of places whenever I hit bumps on a 30-degree day, but the same road in 80 degree, humid weather... it's usually silent. Almost eerie silent. The most persistant rattle is from somewhere up and...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Pried out the center speaker grille cover and surrounded it's underside edges with felt padding. That should take care of it's occasional buzzing. Also thoroughly cleaned the interior, and finally removed the winter snow-removal gadgets. Which of course means we'll have an April snowstorm now...

    CX-5 rattles

    I think you're probably right. Looking through the rattle TSBs, it seems Mazda changed the design process/parts for later models. We 2013 owners (mine's a June 2012 build) did the beta testing ;)

    About to pull the trigger on the CX-5 but worried about issues

    I'm in west/central Jersey (brutal winter this year!), and never had this problem with my 2013. Zero mechanical problems since I've owned it actually (17,000 miles now), aside from some cold-weather interior rattles that have popped up lately (which seems to be a somewhat common complaint).

    Proud owner of a new2014.5 CX-5 GT AWD with tech package

    May I ask how they attach? Sticky or screws or... ?

    Has anyone diagnosed a rattle near the glovebox?

    I'd love to hear what they find! Is your noise temperature-sensitive? It was in the 50s (F) here Saturday, and I barely heard a thing. Today is in the 20s, and it rattled madly for my whole commute, even after the cabin was all toasty warm. It's been consistent like that - once it gets into the...

    Has anyone diagnosed a rattle near the glovebox?

    2013 Touring AWD. I have a nasty rattle from somewhere near the glovebox. It sounds like it's inside the dash, behind the glovebox somewhere - but you know how misleading rattles can be. Might even be a trim piece rubbing between the glovebox and console, or above the glovebox. Happens whether...

    One Year Ownership

    Haven't posted on here in such a long time! Nice to see some familiar names here still :) My 2013 Touring AWD is now at around 1.5 years, 17,000 miles. Runs perfect, no mechanical problems, but it's accumulated a few interior rattles that will hopefully be addressed Wednesday at the dealer. As...

    Who else loves their CX-5?

    11,000 miles and one year with my 2013 CX-5 Touring AWD, and I still love driving it every day. I wondered if the fun would fade after the "honeymoon" period, but I really do enjoy it as much as I did in the beginning. The only common problem I have is the window rattle (when partly open)...

    Erroneous low tire pressure warning?

    It was an unusually chilly morning when mine went off, though I'm not sure if that affects the CX-5's sensors? My RX-8 used to alarm on the first really cold morning of winter, as it measured actual tire pressure. But it was my understanding that the CX-5 just measures rotation speed...

    thoughts after 1 week of ownership

    LOL, agreed. I just call it, "The Five." I used to own "The Eight," (for RX-8) which was just as impossible to classify (four-seat sports car? sporty sedan?) ;) Someone on here once said they nicknamed it "Puddle Jumper," from StarGate Atlantis... which seems oddly appropriate too, lol.

    Window Rattle?

    Excellent, thank you! I never did have mine fixed. Now I think I shall ;)
