    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    I know this is going to come off as a big ass whine from me, but I'm totally new to this vehicle, and I can't find any reliable documents that show me HOW to bloody-well check the transmission oil. I know its tucked somewhere under the air filter housing, but I just wish I had some documents to...

    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    THAT is a perfect description of what happens to mine! wobbling and oscillating. So, are we lead to believe that this is NORMAL behaviour for this car?

    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    LOL then I go read the CD post and think.. hey, I'm really glad I got a turbo LOL. Its one of those "grass isn't greener" things. lol

    Beware of prepaid maintenance packages

    I meant I was not too gullible to be conned into having the extra work they were pushing on me during the "free" oil changes. I DID get the 300$ lifetime oil change package. I'm just saying I'm glad I had the smarts not to let them con me out o money for additional unneeded work. You just...

    Extended Warranty

    Maybe with 3'rd party warranties, but with the Mazda Added Protection I have paid for (50% off mind you..) in Canada I've NEVER had to deal with anything remotely like what you state above. I've taken my car to my Mazda dealer, dropped it off... they've diagnosed the issue, confirmed my...

    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    Problem with the reflash is that it only affects the non-turbo models.... for those of us with the Turbo's, we're still stuck....

    Question for 2019 CX-5 owners about wipers

    Same - I had the exact same experience.

    Automatic Emergency Breaking Front/Rear

    The logic sits with me on this - because I doubt the car is smart enough to know its been hit from behind. So, it's still thinking you're being a dumb-ass and not paying attention lol. That makes sense to me. In fact, on my 2004 Mazda 6, I had this exact scenario happen to me. I got...

    Automatic Emergency Breaking Front/Rear

    Not sure if you had the chance to read my post, but the BRAKE! warning is letting you know that it's anticipating that you are travelling too fast compared to the car in front of you. It's likely seeing that they are slowing rapidly (to turn, for example) and its' warning you. The car *would*...

    Beware of prepaid maintenance packages

    I learned at the ripe old age of 21 when I bought my first new car that "lifetime oil changes" for 300$ on the purchase of a new car would turn into them trying to rip me off at EVERY.SINGLE.OILCHANGE. I'd go in for a simple oil change, and they'd ALWAYS be pushing SUPER hard on unneeded...

    Folding Mirror Issue

    You can say that truthfully about practically anything on a car, though lol

    Folding Mirror Issue

    I live in the great white north, and I don't hear of rampant luxury cars that have had this feature for years complaining about it across the board. if it IS an issue with our car, its a design issue. keep in mind, most of these cars are designed and tested in super cold climates and even...

    Folding Mirror Issue

    Totally agree with you. As I said in the other Extended Warranty post, Cars and iPhone's are the only two things I buy extended warranties on. It's a no-brainer, ESPECIALLY if you can get it for 1/2 price like I did.

    Extended Warranty

    Because on my last car, out-of-warranty repairs BEFORE 100,000km would have cost me well over what I paid for for the warranty. Cars and my iPhone are the only two things I buy Extended warranties on. I agree with Paulzooms - I paid 50% off their price for the extended warranty on my car. I...

    They do in Canada.

    Automatic Emergency Breaking Front/Rear

    3-4 weeks after I got my '19 signature, this feature of our car saved my ass, and likely prevented the car from being written off. I had a video of it, but can't find it. Essentailly, someone made a blind-left turn in front of me just as someone in the lane beside me to the left decided to...
