    Wipers with a mind of their own

    I replaced the windshield on my '14 Mazda3 with Safelite windshield. Everything works well. There is rain-sensing on my Mazda3. I tested it. The technician did test it before he left.

    What's next for the CX-5?

    It is hard to compare fairly, that is not good for CX-70 if many have that impression. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2025-mazda-cx-70-price-msrp-trim-levels/

    Wipers with a mind of their own

    What OP described (I know, it was from 2020) seems like due to a bad switch. A common issue is condensation inside the housing. That would cause the sensor to be over-reacting initially until condensation is gone. This usually happens to mine in winter night when car just got started up (and...

    What's next for the CX-5?

    I think CX5 is at perfect marketing position... don't mess with it. CX-30 is doing well, so is CX-50. Mazda should bring CX-60 to NA to replace CX-70, which is not selling well. (20% of CX90) If one does not need the 3rd row seat, just remove it. Why pay the same or more? Mazda saved money by...

    2nd Generation Mazda CX-5 (KF) TPMS system compatibility?

    Seems to me, they are the same according to this part store's fitment info. https://www.mazdaswag.com/oem-parts/mazda-wheels-forged-bbs-tpms-sensor-bdgf37140

    CX-5 won't start. New auto and fob battery. Won't turn over

    I second what wlong01 suggested. Have a friend jump start your CX5 and go visit a dealer or wherever you bought the battery from to do a load test. New battery could be defected also. Another possibility is there is a current drain in your CX-5. If the low battery issue persists, you need to...

    Off Topic WSJ: Why Americans Can’t Buy Cheap Chinese EVs

    Personally, I don't want EVs until solid-state battery is used (safer, lighter or longer range under same weight, and less temp dependent). I don't want my house to burn down, especially. A lot of new batteries that claim to be solid-state are actually semi (having gel-type electrolyte)...

    Mazda Second Best-Ever Month in U.S. Sales History

    I heard that Mazda has people reading online posts... If we keep saying "We want CX-60 in US !!!" Maybe our little wish will come true. ;)

    What's next for the CX-5?

    What I read ... (non-English site) 1. new and proprietary hybrid from Mazda. (as said) 2. ICE used will be Skyactiv-X for better efficiency 3. big body/structure change to accommodate the hybrid system. Not just front/back refreshing like what we saw for 2017. 4. interior will be more like...

    Auto Door Lock Glitch?

    Indeed, Snake. AutoLock is more useful when both your hands are busy. e.g. In a rainy day, one hand with umbrella and the other carrying some stuff....

    2024 CX-5 Trunk inconvenience

    My CX-5 is set to ParkGear-n-UnlockAll mode. So this is not a problem for me. I can shift gear to Park (engine on or not), and walk out to the back. (no need to bring fob with you) The key point is.... the open button on the hatch does not unlock the hatch. It has to be unlocked first. Imagine...

    2020 CX-5 Suspension sounds - Any ideas?

    Don't worry about the warranty since you already reported this issues to dealer. It is in their record. On to the issue. You can bring it to other Mazda dealers if possible. Sounds to me something is loose in the suspension.

    Auto Door Lock Glitch?

    To OP. I just tested mine. No problem. I closed the door (driver side) and stood by the door. My daughter opened the passenger side door and closed it while I was standing and waiting. The Auto-lock beeped to confirm when she closed hers. No issue with my '22. Two possibilities. 1. one of the...

    Mazda Second Best-Ever Month in U.S. Sales History

    CX90 : CX70 = 5 : 1 ratio. Mazda should have brought the CX-60 to NA instead of CX-70. I would be very interested to get one. An Inline-6 version. What surprises me is that CX-50 is selling well.

    Auto Door Lock Glitch?

    I think this is where your confusion came from. Mazda's FOB (adv keyless feature) has a range of roughly 3 feet only. Your Honda might have 10 feet range. Stay close when the last person close the door. It should work. Longer is not always better in this case. (e,g, if you keep your fob close...

    2019 CX-5 Need tips on taking over maintenance after 50K miles

    I keep a spreadsheet for every vehicle I own. All services/repairs that were done to it, what, when, where and miles on odometer. Buyers love that. Easy for me to check what needs to be done next.

    Wider tires on stock wheels? 2016 CX-5

    One size up might be fine. Yes, check tirerack.com. They have utilities you can use to explore your options. I upsized the tires on my '98 BMW 540iA. I even went staggered. The latter is a big mistake, looking back. Going staggered is costly.... going wider is a choice you can make. My advice...
