    I think CX3 turned into CX30, CX9 turns into CX90 and CX5 will likely become CX50.

    2016 CX-5 brake pedal spacing

    I have lost some feeling in my feet due to two back surgeries and a couple of times missed the brake pedal, once causing me to bump the car in front in a fast food line and always giving me a lack of control panic. I purchased a wider pedal bolt on and made the pedal wider so I do not miss the...

    2021 CX-5 Signature — Blind spot monitor only working intermittently

    There is an old thread that I started when I went from a 2016 to a 2020 as they changed the logic for BSM. It used to show a light anytime a vehicle was present but must have had complaints that there was room to change lanes but the light was on. It seemed to me that they shortened the length...

    2022 Mazda CX5 2.5L with Cylinder Deactivation

    There were a few problems early on but it seems to have been corrected. I am not sure it has been long enough with covid etc. to determine the long term/high mileage effects. I have a 2020 CD that works fine but only have 20,000 miles. I think there are a lot of folks needlessly concerned. I...

    0w20 or 5w20

    Turbo engine has higher amount of air and gas as the turbo pressures air in when the throttle is opened and the computer raises the amount of fuel injected to give the right air/fuel ratio. More pressure on the piston and internal bearings, that is how more power is produced out the engine with...

    Will leaving the trunk open drain the battery?

    I solved the random open liftgate by taking the keyfob battery replacement one step further and cutting the plastic rod off the back of the open liftgate button so it is not functional. I find it easier to press the button on the liftgate handle rather than the keyfob anyway...

    CX-5 Battery Testing

    10.5 while cranking is weak to me, volt meter is averaging slightly so it likely drops below 10 for an instant.

    Key fob low battery on dash but new batteries?

    Not sure about 18s but on 2020 the keyfob can go to low power mode and it will unlock the car with the button but not activate the on off switch unless you touch the switch. Check your manual, can not remember how to reset it
