Recently swapped front suspension links. Clunking sound - gone. However, noticed steering wheel feeling a little stiff on turning, front of car seems to (am I dreaming) bobbing up/down in bumps. CX5 GT 2016 2.5L at 74k miles [US Ed]. When replacing stabilizer links somewhere I read struts need...

It's getting cold and my battery gave me issues. Costco is nearby and coincidentally the guy there said he happens to have the same car as me. i.e. CX5 GT 2016. He said why not put group 24F and stressed on "F". It easily fits in the cavity where the group 35 goes and maybe I might need to saw...

After +10 yrs of NYC / NJ roads finally encountered clunking sounds, etc. and found my sway bar links driver side: gone. I believe the correct part # is KD35-34-170. Just wondering if I am correct and as I usually buy only from MED MAZDA should I buy 2 of them? Is there any after market which...

Hello, We as family share Nissan Sentra 2017. Accidentally my son poured Techron while filling gas 20 oz came home , didn't tell me about it. I poured the 2nd. 20 oz. since I had told him I would. Then later he tells me he poured a can when filling up! Now, I am really worried. Can someone...

When idling and engine warmed up or cold doesn’t matter: off and on the car shakes. Engine RPM live view is around 750. However the throttle position live view shows intermittent jumps. When that happens the whole car shakes a bit. Happens for couple seconds randomly. In between usually like 2...

Does anyone know how to fix this symptom? Power window with auto up/down driver side. When I down, goes down manually or powered. But when trying to bring it back up, ideally even if I let go it should continue going up. What's now happening is: > Slower than usual starts to go up. > Shudders...

70k miles. Dealer saying belt tensioner and belt needs replacing. Quoted $640. Seems very high. How to double check? I am used to flipping water pump and water pump belt when doing this job in my earlier car. Worth doing the same or just do the belt+tensioner+water pump belt only?

I remember there used to somewhere how much fluid per service. My apologies can't find it. Does anyone know much much fluid for front differential and how much for rear differential - I need to put? I have the OEM Mazda oil and plan to do it along with transmission next week. I know transmission...

At 70,000 miles and for few weeks observed a bit of sluggishness when accelerating. Normal culprits like engine oil, air filter, MAF sensor - cleaned/change/reviewed/sprayed. Local dealership told anyways due for S/plug replacement at 75k so I decided to do it myself. Pretty easy and changed all...

2 of the neighbors have Prius but 1 was Rav4 2019. They are all parked in public parking lot due to snow. I am concerned for my Mazda CX5 due to where I park and no - I have no other option. I may be able to find someone to VIN etch and maybe even spray paint it but for this particular model CX5...

Hello - I have a good mechanic. But one thing he told me I never did but suddenly remembered and asking here. This was in 2020 - October, due for an oil change (Schedule - flexible showed 20%). When I went to pick up my car, he asked about my latest driving habits. Due to Covid-19 I am working...

Due to recent snow was in the dealership. I saw a technician pouring this into definitely a 2017 CX-5. I see 0W-16 is just 4 points from recommended 0W-20 but after checking I see it's the same company who actually makes the Mazda oil and also this one seem to be GF-6B vs GF-5 and in my dummies...

Bought a SD card off eBay like many ; the person selling has indicated a large number of folks bought from him. After driving approx. 70 odd miles (I think) put it in my PC and booted up the Mazda toolbox. It correctly recognized the card, my vehicle VIN, etc. But in the default page (home) says...

Due to pandemic, car is parked for long duration in NJ cold. When it gets really cold I am noticing some oil underneath my car. As out of warranty need advice. I found a TSB 01-014/15. I wanted to first take it to my trusted mechanic but wanted to know if anyone else faced this issue and how to...

I have the list of TSBs applicable for my CX-5 2016 and find some of them may be applicable for me. If I take it to the dealership and mention the issue and assuming they find the TSB will they (Mazda) cover the issue? Or should I even give them the TSB #?

As I mentioned in some threads the service manager for Mazda happens to know be a close acquaintance of mine. He used to be gear head and you might have actually seen him in one of the F&F movies even! Anyways he has always given me good advice. 1 thing he mentioned is he has started to see few...

Whenever I wanted to store a location I went to favorites - add section and added location. I was checking something and kept the favorites button pressed for few seconds. Suddenly a message appeared in my screen saying location XXX saved as favorite. Wow .. learned something new yesterday!!

My driver side mirror assembly got hit and basically warrants a replacement. The good news is the mirror is intact. It has heated option, signal and has blind monitor. Everything still functions including the motor but the plastic housing broke and the bottom part clipped off and broke. Now I...

Now that the temperatures have dropped, my Infotainment center is acting weird. This used to happen during warranty period too but now I am kicking myself for ignoring it. It got terribly worse now. As long as the temp outside is low (near 4C / 40F) my infotainment screen do not come up and...
