Did you use amber leds?

Will he let you mount a rim (without the tire) just to verify the brakes or something else dont' rub?

If you drive carefully (like you say you do) and they haven't added any new construction or delays on your route that cause excessive idling you should easily expect same or better than your old CX9. I guess even a newer, low mileage car can have some basic issues that could cause this. Have...

I always like to take a new car on some longer cruises, if possible. Especially on the highway for an hour or two.

I think to disassemble the lid of the console it involves unsnapping certain parts, but I have never done it.

I added some magnets I got from Amazon and left the latch in place. It works great, better than it did with the latch...

Those plugs have risen from around $12-14 to over $17 @. They are still cheaper than Mazda OEM prices

I can recall a couple of times when I checked the oil and it was really low, but I know there was more oil in there... it seems kind of unreliable to only rely on the dipstick reading because for some reason the oil doesn't always show up the same on the dipstick. I usually know how much is in...

here's the hood solar panels I saw ... Hood Solar Panel

Stuck solenoid on the starter?

We can hope that the dealer used the set from the new car for diagnostic purposes, and checked all of the suspect tires to find the out of round ones.

Are the Bose door speakers 2 ohm?

The tire doesn't look unsafe to drive on it or anything. A depth gauge would show how much wear the tire has on each edge, for comparison.

I first noticed the effect different driving habits make on a previous car with variable valve timing (VVT). If I had been driving in town using generous throttle the trip later on the highway would seem to be affected. After many miles of highway driving with a light foot it seemed the highway...

If you put in a 5 qt jug and a new filter some of the oil would go into the filter and then is there when you remove it, so consider that as well. I usually try to change the oil before 5k.

Here's a thread that references the STB for the 2016 rear calipers. It doesn't have a pdf of the STB but there are details about the parts. https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/2016-cx-5-rear-caliper-tsb.123880393/

If you find a dragging brake, try cleaning and relubing the caliper guide pins. I had issues with one of mine sticking a bit but no more problems since I lubed it.

After driving at higher speeds, stop and feel each hub and wheel to see if there is any overheating. Overheating could be brakes, but also other parts like the bearings. Front-end alignment might cause some drag if it is not right.

Yes the NGK 94124 are for the NA. I know the genuine Mazda branded ones are a lot more than that.

They are almost $16 now on Amazon. Some of the bad reviews make me think some people buy a set, then return (phony) merchandise in the NGK boxes and the Amazon vendor doesn't check. One person got a set of Autolite plugs. While most of the reviews are positive it seems like there could be a...
