We'll at 40,000miles, the drivers side DRL just went out on our CX-5. The passenger side was replaced a few months ago by the dealer, but they made a point of letting us know they were "doing us a favor" by covering it since it was out of warranty. Time to put in another call and see if they'll...
All the parts to do it yourself are already available for purchase if you know where to look. Sucks that Mazda is charging so much for something that actually costs so little (hardware wise). I'm guessing they are trying to get a decent return on the cost of software development (integration...
The only thing on that list that worries me is the "retuned suspension", I really hope that re-tuned does not = softer. I think the current ride is perfect for this car.
Also i'm excited to see which XM connected services they offer AND if that will be integrated into the Navigation (weather and...
Comparing your part numbers to the fische, two items worry me. The rear cover and the paddle harness. There seem to be three options for the rear cover:
1)W/o Heat, W/o Paddles - TK4832049A02, this appears to be discontinued?
2)W/ heat, W/o Paddles - TK48-32-049D-02
3)w/o heat, w/ paddles -...
Nice job, and great write up. Keep us informed about how much oil ends up in the OCC. I've been wavering about whether or not to do this mod, and I'd love some real world data.
Completely possible. My wife can get overwhelmed easily, especially when the girls are acting up/crying. I think I'm just going to make a note of this and not sweat it unless it happens again. If it does, i'll switch cars with her until I can recreate the problem and go from there.
She's just crossing 40,000 miles now. Yes, I asked her about how long she was driving with the chime, and she told me she stopped at a road about 2 miles away, so a good ways. But I think you're right, there's something else going on.
Oddly enough, the car was just serviced by our...
The truth (like I just did). I put a crate of old video games, a jug of kitty litter and some big old motorcycle books on the seat and could not get the "airbag off" light to go out. So no incessant ding, and no power loss. I can't imagine the diaper bag was heavier than all of that stuff, and...
This is exactly why I asked the question, this does not seem like a safe implementation of any sort of seatbelt enforcement. I've never had a car act like that, and have never heard of one acting like that. But I figured i' d put it out there to see if anyone experienced anything similar...
So I did a quick search and haven't come across this particular issue, so I figured I'd ask and see if anyone else has experienced something similar.
Vehicle in Question:
2016 Mazda CX-5, AWD, GT+Tech
Issue:
My wife was driving down the road with our two kids in the back, and a diaper bag on...
I'm curious if you guys get the owner surveys Mazda sends out? I generally get 1-2/year/car. I make sure to note all of the items on my wish list on those owner surveys. At least that way I know they are seeing what their customers want in their future vehicles. I think if everyone did that...
And Jeep grand cherokee. I'd bet there are others as well. OP either way, that's not a good way to run the vehicle as it sucks in exhaust gasses as you drive down the road.
(iagree) I've brought home 8' lumber in mine, completely within the car (all seats folded) and it had room for more. I'm continually surprised by what will fit back there.
Cheap and easy, like it! I'm really glad the dealer never bothered to drill the front bumper for plates on mine. Still expecting to get pulled over for it though...(peep)
Nice, so many people getting an early jump on this, I might just do it myself too. Think i'll do the wifes CX-5 first, since she's having issues keeping her phone charged anyway. Can't believe it's taking so long for Mazda to roll this out.
