Hi all,
I currently have a 2019 GTR, however, my wife and I recently picked up a 2016.5 CX-5 for my nephew with 66k miles. I noticed that when braking at about 70mph, the steering wheel has a little bit of shake in it. I am assuming this means the front rotors are warped?
What is my best...
Hello,
I just purchased an SD Navi card for our 2020 CX-5. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not these offer map updates? The latest update on this card is 2019. I can’t find any information about upgrading the maps.
Thanks all!
Update - I ordered a new SD Nav Card from Amazon. I am going to give that a try. I've found some people having success with it, not to mention these maps need to be updated anyway.
Has anyone else had this issue and found a remedy? My 2020 GTR hasn't had any Navi issues (also purchased a...
Hello,
I’m going to be going to the dealer, but I’m having an issue with my navigation system (2016.5) that I recently acquired. It keeps rebooting itself, and then it goes to the navigation screen, says loading, then reboots.
Since this car is no longer under warranty, is there an easy fix...
Hi all,
We just picked up a 2016.5 CX-5 for my nephew (used with 66k miles). It's in great condition and drives great. It does have navigation, and I am just curious what Mazda charges for an update AFTER the first 3 years? Is it worth the money, or are the 2016 maps (that came with the car...
I get all of my service done at Mazda (just had one oil change/tire rotation), so I would imagine they know how to torque their lug nuts correctly.
Anyway, I have an appointment with Mazda for next week. I am hoping they will replace my rotors. Guess we will see.
Hey all,
Just curious if any of you have run into warped front rotors with less than 20k miles on your CX-5? We have 8,000 on our 2019, and I believe the front one's are starting to warp (getting some steering wheel shake when braking). I am going to see if I can get this covered under...
Since it's alcohol based, is it bad to use hand sanitizer on your hands and then drive? I know the steering wheel is leather wrapped, so I don't want to do anything to discolor it, but I tend to use hand sanitizer often. Has anyone had any long-term issues after using hand sanitizer?
Hey all,
Just curious what issues you've all had on your 2017+ CX-5? We currently have a 19, but other than the cylinder deactivation (if It's even on the turbo model) I don't think there's that much of a difference between the parts in all 3 years. So, I'm just curious what issues you've all...
I have a Compustar remote start with the Drone Mobile added on. I can start my vehicle from my iPhone or my Apple Watch. I would definitely recommend going this route. I had the whole thing installed for $350.
Hey all,
How many miles are you all getting on your brake pads on 17+ cX-5’s? I’m currently at 9k, and mine look ok, but I’m going to upgrade my pads when they need replacing. Anyway, just curious how many miles you all are getting on these Mazda’s?
Thanks!
Hey all,
My dealership keeps calling me and offering me an extended warranty on my 19' GTR. I am on the fence with this since Mazda's are pretty reliable, however, I am not sure if I should be a little more worried since this is a turbo model. How many of you have and or plan to purchase the...
Just curious on here who cleans their engine bay area? If so, what is your process? What type of detailer do you top it off with it to make it look purrrty?
I have been power washing mine once a year without any ill effects, but thought there might be a better process to use.
Thanks!
Hi all,
Has anyone used PDR on their CX-5? I have a small ding I am looking to have repaired. If so, were the results pretty good? What did you pay to have your ding/dent removed?
Thanks!
Hey all,
Just got off the phone with my service advisor, and need a new wheel bearing (covered under warranty at 10k miles). I don't recall hitting any big potholes.
Anyone else have any issues with wheel bearings/tie rods? This kind of makes me nervous, unless it's just a fluke.
Thanks!
Just curious how many of you use the touch screen on the CX-5 vs. the command knob? I used to just use the command knob (to avoid the finger prints), but am liking the touch screen more so.
Anyway, just curious which one you use.
