    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    Oddly enough, I had a "Cannot communicate with SiriusXM hardware" message today. I had been listening to SIrius no problems for about 30 mins. Stopped to get gas, turned the car back on and hadn't touched any buttons, and that's what happened. That's the first time since updating to 352 that...

    2020 Consumer Reports Reliability Rankings of CX-5 and a few competitors

    I quite agree with you. 3'rd mazda here, I owned a 2004 Mazda 6 and a 2009 Mazda 6. This CX-5 is by-far the most enjoyable vehicle I've owned!

    '19 Signature shudder just after stopping from highway speeds

    Title says it, but Ill try to be more specific. Car has about 19,000km on it and is almost 1 year old. After driving at highway speeds (100-120km/hr) for a short period of time (20 mins), I've noticed that AFTER having come to a complete stop, the RPM's return to idle but shortly thereafter...

    2020 Consumer Reports Reliability Rankings of CX-5 and a few competitors

    Oh don't get me wrong - I find the information I get here extremely helpful, most of the times. I just meant generally - You have to take all these internet forums for what they are. Mazda makes hundreds of thousands of cars a year, and there are bound to be ones with issues.

    Winter driving

    I'm glad to see that what you describe is universal - that happens here too. LOL. My 45 minute commute will take 2-3 hours in a snow event. I ALWAYS laugh at the Jeep's and Durango's I see in the ditch that blew past me on the highway a few km down the road. .. Just because your car is fast...

    91 vs 93 octane and GT-R/Sg trim CX-5

    Just used an online converter.. here, try 5.24$ for a gallon (Canadian dollars to boot). You guys have it really good down there at 3.00$ a gallon. lol

    91 vs 93 octane and GT-R/Sg trim CX-5

    A lot of people probably don't even realize this.... For most of us, we're sitting down at the 2-3000rpm range for MOST of our commutes/drives, so the advantage of premium fuel is null. I remember seeing this picture you posted while I was in the purchase-period of my car, and I decided against...

    Winter driving

    All kinds. I live in Toronto, and we've had freezing rain, pellets, slushy snow, and I've driven on unplowed roads about 25cm's worth (about 9-10" worth). I mean, keep in mind - I drive carefully. I slow down, I take corners slowly, and I don't drive the crap out of the car just because I...

    Updated version of the Infotainment System Available (70.0.0.352B NA N) for North America

    First time I did my car (about 1 month after delivery to me) the update got to 99%, and BOOM.. everything shut off. LMAO. I had set the timer from the point where the upgrade starts, NOT from when the CMU shut-down occurs when you have to get out of the car.. I panicked. I've never sweated...

    Winter driving

    I have the stock tires on my '19 Signature and live in Toronto (Canada), and I have to say, I'm really impressed thus far in the cars handling capabilities in snow. I don't drive crazy in the snow, and I don't rely on the vehicle to do things that it isn't really designed to do (stop fast, turn...

    2020 Consumer Reports Reliability Rankings of CX-5 and a few competitors

    Funny, judging by the # of complaints here (and other Mazda forums), you'd think that Mazda wouldn't be that high on the list. Goes to show you that Internet Forums aren't always the best place to get your information lol.

    What is wrong with CX-5 Signature?

    I might be an outlier here, but I truly do love the interior colour of my Signature. The brown is almost black which I prefer, I like the headliner and the bezel-less rear view mirror, and I like the wood inserts they used. I am NOT a fan of the Auburn colour in the CX-9... I .. just don't...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Trunk opening randomly

    OKay - so *I* had this issue for the first 2 months of owning my '19 signature, and I went out and bought one of those silicone sleeves on Amazon for our transmitter. Also, I removed as many keys from the FOB that I absolutely didn't need to have, and I do NOT keep the key in my pocket. When...

    Care and feeding of the 2.5 turbo

    Wait for 30 seconds after parking if you've done short jaunts, lots of uphill driving, or been doing lots of freeway driving where you've been punching it. Also, let the car warm up a bit before you drive away in the cold if you live in a cold are. Wait until the RPM's drop to 1000 or below...

    Updated version of the Infotainment System Available (70.0.0.352B NA N) for North America

    Hey everyone, I've seen this prop up in a couple of the other threads, so I thought I'd post a master post for it. Mazda has released an update for the Infotainment system. A lot of us have been complaining about SiriusXM drop outs / no SiriusXM at all on this forum, and the changelog posted...

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    ALL of my SiriusXM issues have gone away. I don't have any drop outs anymore, missing channels or nothing. I honestly suspect it has something to do with updates that Sirius sends to the car. That's my personal opinion. I've been a Sirius subscribrer since 2005 and on my older car, they...

    2019 Signature - 2 clunks when opening drivers-side door

    After googling what a Door Checker is, I believe this might be the issue. I'll double check tomorrow when I'm in the daylight to see if I see any play or anything there. Thanks kindly!

    2019 Signature - 2 clunks when opening drivers-side door

    Hey everyone, I've noticed within the past week or so my 2019 Signature drivers side door is making 2 clunk sounds when I am opening the door. None of the other doors make this sound. Does anyone elses' door make the two clunking sounds and is it something I should have the dealer look at...

    Leave Headlight Switch On Auto?

    When you say "all" lights, do you mean interiors too?
