    Is this a symptom of the Ghost Touch?

    Couple of times lately the radio has started changing stations on its own. Almost like the seek button is engaged. Then it will stop and work normally for days. Not sure how the dealer could diagnose it if it's happening infrequently. Anybody that had this problem - will it get worse? 2019 CX-5

    Question on TPMS for 2016 CX-5 (not sensors)

    Does anybody know if the TPMS icon will light if pressure is increased in tires as opposed to psi just dropping below a programed threshold? This happened this morning - had tires rotated at dealer. Left dealer about 2 miles later the TPMS warning chimed and the dash icon lit. Stopped and...

    2017~2025 When to change CX-5 Rear Differential Fluid?

    I don't think Mazda has a set schedule for changing the fluid. What kind of change schedule are people that just drive normally using? I have 54,xxx on my 19 and the fluid has never been changed. I know Honda has a pretty tight schedule for changing diff fluid. Usually the first change is...

    Anybody get the settlement postcard in the mail then went to the website to see if their VIN is affected? I plugged my VIN into their validation screen and get the following -- "The VIN you entered belongs to an additional vehicle". Haven't a clue what that means.

    Mazda Dealer has no transmission fluid?

    What gives, Mazda dealer doesn't have tranny fluid - I find that hard to believe. Must be a ploy to not do the fluid change.

    Question(s) on changing ATF (2019 CX-5)

    2019 has a little over 50k and we plan on keeping it another couple years. Plan on having a drain/fill on the ATF next dealer visit (that's if the dealer will do it, if not Indy shop) along with changing the coolant to the newer fluid that protects against corrosion better. Question -- should...

    Q for those who purchased an Extended Warranty through Mazda Finance

    Did you receive anything from Mazda listing the warranty, how to get service when out of town, etc. How to acquire towing, rental cars, hotel remimbursement, etc. I would just like to see a card with some phone#'s if I ever need to use it. If something happens local I just call the local dealer...

    2017~2025 Weird feeling accelerating with CX-5 Turbo

    This is kinda a weird occurance, couple times I've experienced what can only be described as a slingshot effect. Very subtle but you feel it. It's like there a few millsecond pause then the car accelerates forward almost like it's being flung forward. Don't know if its the turbo, torque...

    2017~2025 CX-5: Trouble pairing new phone

    Picked up a new phone the other day. Samsung Galaxy A54. Un-paired the old phone and tried pairing the new one. Everything is configured properly in the phone. CX-5 recognizes the phone and attempts to pair but keeps failing. Is it a software problem with the Infotainment software and the new...

    2013~2016 Question on CX-5 Rear Diff fluid change

    Last time I had my 2016 into the dealer I wanted to get a drain and fill on the ATF and transfer case. The dealer talked me out of the ATF change this time (only 40k on odo) but went ahead with the transfer case (or so I thought). They did a rear diff change by mistake. Question - when they do...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Turbo and plugs!

    What is it about the turbo that requires the plug to be replaced at around 40,000? I just hit 40,800 and noticed the vehicle is not running like it used to. I've noticed some subtle stumbling at low and moderate speeds. Never had it before. Anyway, plugs are being replaced this coming Tuesday.

    Did a stupid thing today!

    I was out in the garage checking oil level on my 2016 Touring. I had a small flashlight sitting on the frame on the left hand side. The flashlight rolled forward (toward the engine) and fell straight down and disappeared. I assume it's sitting on the bottom shield. I got under and removed a few...

    2017~2025 Question on CX-5 Transfer case fluid

    Does the Transfer case get it's fluid from the transmission? This doesn't sound right but that's what the Mazda dealer Service writer told me. If that's true then according to them the Transfer case fluid is lifetime.

    Fighting with Mazda dealer over tranny drain/fill

    Wanted a simple transmission drain and fill. Dealer said Mazda recommends against it. Told him I don't care what Mazda recommends I would like to have it done for piece of mind. Told me he has to go check with his superiors to see if they even do it. WTH. My 2016 has been out of powertrain...
