No, it's the screen itself that's at fault. The touch sensor goes bad and so registers random 'touches'. Others that have fixed theirs themselves have replaced either the whole screen, or just the touch sensor on top of the screen. In fact, if you look at my ticket above, the only part the...
Well, THAT's interesting. I thought I'd read that the screen WAS covered (else why the 'ghost touch' issue?) But I went to re-read the settlement, and sure enough, it only reads that the CMU is covered. WTF?
So, I've always liked my dealer's service dept, and this just makes me like them...

Well, it's a bit late then! But anyway, this was the start of my trials (& continue reading through the thread for more and other's reports): CX-5 Suspension control arm failure
Went to get an oil change today and told the service guy that we had the ghost touch issue and I showed him the class action card we got. He said that was no problem and they'd done a bunch already, but that Mazda wanted to charge a $50-100 co-charge. I thought the whole point was that this...
No, just 2 heaters, the third thing (rounded outline) is a temperature-sensing thermistor. I'm not sure where that's located, but it may be on the bottom cushion/element, in which case it would be dangerous to disconnect that bottom element!
All in all, this is a very bad idea. It could...
