It seems both failed at same time. I noticed it 2 weeks after the dealer installed a new alternator. (First time driving at night since they installed alternator). The dealer says both are burned out - they showed me with a new bulb ordered for another car. But I’m suspicious. Do you think...

Thanks for your reply @Conrad 16.5 and others - I forget the exact numbers but both were roughly the same engine on and off - just below par for both - a brand new battery and the original alternator (30k miles). As mentioned, the battery is brand new so are the belts for the water pump and...

The passenger side inner door panel has a leather-like upholstry between the arm rest and the hard plastic beneath the window. It's peeled off at the top - there is a thin line of original glue still there but it won't stick. If I take it to the dealer they will want to replace it of course (as...

Everything I've read on this site and elsewhere says an alternator should almost outlast the car - 100,000 - 180,000 MILES. My CX-5 is the KE version (the earlier models) but with a 2.5 L imported from Japan - it is 2014 but has only 51,000 KM (not miles - so around 30,000 miles) Mazda dealer...

I'm having exactly same problem with my Japanese import (to Thailand) - 2014 CX5. To make matters worse, I don't have the head unit (radio) so I have no access to the settings display. But there should be the same factory settings as the US/Canada versions, no? Can't the dealer sort this?

Anyone know if Mazda sells the CX5 with auto door locks but without power door locks (i.e. once the car starts to pull away the doors lock and unlocks in park) in your country? I ask this because I have a Japanese imported model of 2014 CX5 - without the radio head unit and so without the...

hadn't tried the last part (pressing button once or twice to shut everything else off) will do, Kob kun krup Skorpio. For other posts above thanks, and yes, in many countries this is normal - too many cars not enough parking spaces, particularly at office parking lots and shopping centers -...

As indicated in an earlier post, I live in Bangkok and imported a CX5 from Japan. I can't figure out how to shut the car down in neutral - a basic requirement in a congested city like this and where double parking is the norm - because one would leave the vehicle in neutral so the owner of the...

2014 Mazda CX5 imported from JPN to Thailand - 'Dark Blue'. I think in the US it's called Stormy Blue Mica.

Thanks Skorpio - I'd say it's not worth the extra cash then. I'll send a photo soon. Kob khun ma na krup.

Thanks to all above for your thoughts (Skorpio - my car is exactly the same - color and all..). It's a real roll of the dice.. Can I ask how much any of you use the on-screen functions for lighting/wipers/door locks? It seems these might be unnecessary if the factory settigns are okay as is. Do...

Thanks for some great reading in other threads My question is a bit different - I hope someone can advise I have just imported duty free from Japan (to Thailand) a 2014 CX5 without any radio (a hole in the dash at present, but with the plastic bezel that normally surrounds the radio). I had to...
