Do you have a different Mazda dealer that you can take your car to? If not, I would escalate the issue to the Service Manager, and if they are no help, contact Mazda Corporate for your region to escalate the issue further. It sounds like your current dealer is either very lazy or very...
Yes, it is.
This reminder was posted on the first page. Once again, this thread is to discuss the 2026/Gen 3 CX-5. It is not to discuss the Gen 1 or Gen 2 CX-5, or talk about why you're not buying a Gen 3. We have plenty of discussion threads that already exist for those topics. Let's keep...
I do this too. I never used to, but my wife has a habit of driving her Civic into a steep driveway, putting the car in Park and then taking her foot off the break just as it goes into Park. A couple of times I'd take her car, and it took more effort to pull the shifter out of Park, and when I...
So when I had the rear diff failure on my 2018, I attributed it to a manufacturer's defect/error. I can't prove it, but it is possible that the fluid level in the rear diff was "low" as many report that they had to fill more than they drained out. When I did drain the fluid, it was after the...
Owning a black car has amplified my tendencies a bit lol. For example, let's say I wash the car the night before. The next morning at work, it rains. I find myself tempted to go out to the car at lunch and wipe the car down to prevent water spots lol. Or a few days after washing the car, there's...
I would get a magnetic drain plug and install it ASAP. Then ride out this current oil to maybe 4k miles as @Lazy2.5 suggested. Re-evaluate on your next oil change.
I washed it yesterday, then filled up on fuel this morning (ouch).
I'm pretty sure this is the most I've ever paid to fill a fuel tank ($130 CAD for 59.4L of Shell 93). I'm glad I never went for the 2015 4Runner I was initially wanting to buy before I test drove the CX-9 in 2016.
That ability to allow the CMU to use Wireless AA/ACP is huge. To invest in something like this, though, I'd need to know what cars/infotainment systems can be customized with your solution, as well as a list of popular customization options for each car model. And a video showing the functioning...
Did a quick search and it appears that RockAuto has a couple of options (Depo, TYC) starting as low as $100 USD for lens/housing only (no socket or bulb). I imagine shipping would add a good chunk to the cost, but Depo and TYC have been making aftermarket headlight/taillight assemblies for...
Wow, nice! My CX-9's have never even come close.. well, the 2022 had an average L/100km reading of 8.4 (equal to about 28 mpg) when I drove it home from the dealership, but I suspect the dealer "engineered" that reading with some careful highway driving.
Did you do anything different to improve...
