    2014 CX-5 ABS Sensor stripped in hub…Help!

    Hey everyone. I've got a 14 CX-5 that needed wheel bearings replaced. I accidentally damaged the sensor trying to get the heavily rusted hub & bearing out. Fearing I'd damaged the knuckle, I also replaced that with a used one. The problem is the bolt in the take off part that holds the...

    Blown CX-5 Head Gasket?

    Backstory: 2014 CX-5 Touring with 130k miles. Was getting flashing red engine light, with no heat from the vents. It also shut down a few times while my kid limped it home. Code scan was P011A. I replaced thermostat and burped coolant, but still got the same issues. I figured the water...

    P011A on 2014 CX-5 Touring

    I've got a 2014 Touring AWD with 130k miles. Recently the Check Engine light is on and throwing a P011A code. I've done some investigating and know that there is a TSB for this - and I do fall in the VIN range. I have noticed that the heat takes longer to blow hot than before. I have also...

    WTB 18" Wheels - 5x114.3 - 7/7.5/8" w/ 45 or less offset in Michigan!

    Yes, I stole the title from @Suprmp5. I also am looking for some 18" rims to go on my CX-5. I've created a bit of a debacle with my rims. I purchased 18" tires with the understanding that I had some 18" wheels for the car (normally had stock 17s). Turns out that the wheels have minor bends...

    Help with clunking after rotor/pad replacement!

    Hey everyone, thanks in advance. I've got a 2014 CX-5 Touring AWD and I just replaced my pads and rotors this past weekend. I've done this before and I'm pretty confident in my ability (though I'm not perfect!) At the same time I also replaced my stock 17's with some 18x8 Mitsu Eclipse wheels...

    Nickel or Zinc plating rims

    So I just picked up a set Mistubishi Eclipse 18" rims to put on Old Blue ('14 CX-5 Touring) and spruce it up a bit from the stock 17's. Their the same bolt pattern, hub size, and a close enough offset (46mm) all for $120. I've been debating painting the rims, plasti-dip, powdercoat, or maybe...

    2013~2016 Rear brake calipers needed?

    Hi all. I have a 2014 CX-5 Touring AWD w/112k miles on it. It is driven daily. Today after a long drive that was both city & highway, the rear end started making a light - almost squealing - noise. The noise stopped when at a standstill, and persisted while braking and even when coasting in...

    Auto Dimming Exterior Side Mirrors

    Does anyone know of any kind of aftermarket or modifications that can be made to the driver's and possibly passenger's side mirrors that will convert them to auto dimming? Quite often at night I get annoyingly blinded by cars & trucks with either high intensity headlights, or poorly aimed...

    Impressions after 50K in my '14 Touring!

    So in Feb of 2014 I bought a CPO 2014 CX-5 Touring in that electric blue. It had 9900 miles and after market Katzkin leather. I asked the dealer - Suburban Mazda of Farmington Hills, MI - to add heated seats and the nav option. I paid $24500 for the car. The CPO warranty extended the...

    Shift indicator lights?

    So here's an odd question: Are the gear shift indicator letters supposed to be illuminated? I've got a 2014 Touring with an auto trans. I looked down at the shift gate the other night and thought "shouldn't those letters light up?" Are they illuminated, or am I just noticing now?

    Drivers seat not holding position?

    Hi everybody! Big Noob here! I've got a 2014 CX-5 Touring that has had the Katskin leather added (I love it!) and aftermarket seat heaters (great right now!). This was all performed through the dealer. Now I've got the power drivers seat - 6 way I believe - and the setting seems to "slip"...
