I have been following the CD problem thread (rocker arm) with some concern since I own a 2018 CX-5. Now this guy mentions engine wear and oil consumption problems with CD. Is that true?

Have to ask even though it may sound silly. Can a flexible scope get to that area with the valve cover on via the oil fill hole ?

Has that thing been close to some kind of heat source?

Don't forget CD. That's working out real well.

My 2018 does same thing and I assumed it was fuel pump.

I don't like the transmission shifts in my '18. My '15 was much smoother. Maybe due to CD, which we owners are testing for Mazda. I do not recommend the '18.

Is a spinner what we old folks called a suicide knob?

Older thread but a question. If I disconnect the battery for a while will I be back to day 1?

Can you explain the tach jump? My 2018 RPM drops quite a bit during some shifts. Is that what you call slippage? Overall I am not happy with transmission compared to the 2015 I had.

It may be in my head but I think things improve slightly in my 2018 if I turn off TCS. If some of you could try this I would appreciate it.

My turn to guess. Fuel pump.

Do they have to unplug something to check AT fliud? If they do that.

I read today that CR dropped the Tiguan from it's recommended list. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/cars-lose-cr-recommendation-over-reliability-issues/

If I had to sum up my 2018 CX-5 transmission I would say, compared to the 2015 it replaced, I am much more aware of the shifting. This includes both accelerating and decelerating. The 2015 was smoother.

My 2018 does same thing. Dealer says all is well. Not to my liking at all. I'm getting ready to try again with my dealer but now seeing this it's a let down that it may be normal.

Replied in lounge. Will watch here instead.

Interesting. I sometimes get the feeling my 2018 transmission is slipping. Had it in once for what I think is unsmooth shifting. All OK. Please post if you hear anything. Drive is not like my 2015 was.

I wish Mazda would offer the choice of a software change that would eliminate CD. As a 2018 owner I feel I am testing this for them, and I'd rather not.

I think the transmission could be smoother, especially on downshifting.

I have complained about this and took my 2018 in for a check. It was test driven and checked out. Told all is normal. I think the down shifting on this CX-5 is a poor design, if this is truly normal. At least my complaint is on record. My 2015 CX was much smoother.
