Yep, some (a lot) of auto glass is laminated. But check out the markings for this glass. (Edit) Looks like this glass could be laminated as well.

This...when it activates you cannot miss it.

Sorry to hear this, it's disappointing to spend a good amount of money on a new car only to have it go bad on you so quickly. Had I experienced the same issues, I would likely be doing the same (asking for a complete refund, and running away from the brand). I also have a 2018 but it's been...

FYI, The glass is tempered. You can tell by how it breaks (chunks instead of small shards).There's typically a tempered symbol or mark on the glass as well, but since mine is now in pieces I can't find that one piece.:D

Yep, that's why I'm not surprised they declined to help. The problem then becomes (for me), why did the sunroof fail and will it happen again. I've had sunroofs in just about every car I've owned since the early 90's and this is only the second one I've had break. The last one broke because...

Those two pins only align the clockspring with the wiring on the wheel (they rotate freely and independantly of the cars wheels). The steering wheel placement on the spline is what aligns the steering wheel with the front wheels. See the pic below. It's completely possible to place the wheel...

Yep very odd indeed. Just to cap this off, I spoke with Mazda customer experience and they "declined" to assist with the repair because "they do not know why it failed". (rofl2) I laughed out loud at that one. If I built and distributed a product, and it failed without a clear reason, that...

Agreed, I prefer to rely on myself to avoid accidents anyway.

I'll agree to disagree on this one. The only reason I say that is because the SCBS does not work at highway speeds(says so in the manual & i've personally experienced it work only at a speed of less than 5Mph). So if someone is travelling at highway speeds, with the adaptive cruise on AND...

But that's a totally different system. There's the Smart City Braking and then there's the Radar Cruise. I know they work together, but they are two different things. I don't believe the radar cruize will pick up stationary objects, but if there's evidence out there to the contrary I'd love to...

I’d be interested in knowing why that is incorrect. Can you refer us to your source? Everything I’ve read and seen indicates the system needs to ‘believe’ you are following another moving vehicle to operate correctly.

There are only three kids on my block, two are mine and the third is too young to be out playing baseball at night (as are mine for the record). He's only six. (uhm) Even though the "magic stone" theory is plausible, I doubt it. I live on a 25mph street, for a stone to be picked up and thrown...

Although the car will pick up objects ahead I don't believe that it picks up (or slows for) stationary objects, only vehicles (at this point). Also, my car has slowed in turns with the cruise on, when there are no guard rails or embankments to speak of. I've noticed this as well since I drive...

This just happened to my 2016 CX-5 as well. Funny thing is, we hadn't even driven it. My wife last drove it two days ago and it was fine. Yesterday it sat in the driveway and it was fine. This morning I look out the window and it's shattered. Lots of little pieces still sitting on top of the...

I find the same, but that can be manipulated a bit by using the distance controls. You can increase the following distance to get it to brake sooner. I haven't found a work around for the slow acceleration. Or the thing that really bugs me is when a car pulls out of the lane in front of me, and...

You got me, I was about to ask for side shot! Is that PS or snow build up?

Ha ha, You're both in for it! My first daughter is 3(going on 13) and we have a 7-week old daughter. I know just what SK77X is saying, I LOVE my daughters but between them and my (lovely) wife, and my mother-in-law and the 13-year-old female cat...I relish some time "fixing" things on my own...

The first time I had to pull the rear lamp on my wife's '16 CX-5 I was sweating bullets (same procedure as our CX-9's), I wasn't used to having to remove the lamp to change a bulb. It looks more difficult than it is. Nice write up, it should definitely help out the first time bulb changers!

Its always good to have a repository of good write-ups. I know what it takes and I appreciate the time and effort. I'll definitely be using this for reference, thanks!

Sorry but I almost just dropped my baby from laughing so hard...worms...you guys are hilarious [emoji38]
