    Changing songs randomly

    Today I was going to lunch and I heard a beep. I looked around and didn't realize that the infotainment changed songs. I was playing from a thumb drive and this was the first tie I experienced this. It didn't change the to the radio but stayed on the thumb drive. The rest of the time n the car...

    TPMS Thoughts (2019 CX-5 GT)

    My TPMS light came on the other morning in my 2019 CX 5 GT when I pulled out of my driveway and started down the street. When I got back home I pulled my trusty pancake compressor out and filled the tires. Since it doesn't indicate which tire is low I topped them all off. I assumed I would have...

    Ghost in the infotainment

    My 2019 infotainment system suddenly started changing songs I was playing from a thumb drive I had plugged in. It only lasted @30 seconds but I was surprised. I didn't get a chance to switch to the radio to see if it did it there also. Not too concerning but I was wondering if this has happened...

    Thoughts on the 2019 CX-5 Seats

    I recently had a surprising experience. I won't bore anyone with the back story but due to no fault of my own I had to turn my 2019 into a body shop. My insurance supplied me with a rental that turned out to be a Mitsubishi SUV. I didn't care for much about it but the seats were very...

    Mazda Cylinder Deactivation questions

    This has probably been beaten to death but I just watched a you tube Mazda explanation of how it works. It occured to me that there was no mention of the injector being turned off. I guess you have to assume that? Also with both valves being closed during that time isn't the engine working...

    Doing the brakes when you're old...

    Well I made one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made for a while. I replaced the pads and rotors on all four wheels myself. I had an electric scissor jack and jacked one side and put jack stands at both ends. I did it so I could rotate the tires also. So I did a side at a time and got it all...

    2019 CX-5 Rear camera rain water issue

    I had a 2016 and now have a 2019 and have noticed that the 16 rarely, if ever got wet when it rained and the 19 almost always has water when it rains obscuring the view. Anyone else have this problem and or has a fix for it?

    Replaced CX-5 OEM Toyo Tires

    I replaced my Toyo A36 tires today with Sailun inspire tires. At 48000 miles the Toyos were getting noisy and close to the wear bars. The oem Toyos were ok and I'm glad to have gotten the mileage out of them I did. There's a big difference in the ride and noise with the new tires. Of course...

    Back up camera failed? 2019 CX-5 GT

    Today my backup camera failed. All I saw when in reverse was a blank screen with an icon for settings in the upper left. I "clicked" on it and several settings came up but nothing seemed to work. I pushed the red window that said reset and nothing happened. This is a 2019 Grand Touring with @...

    CX-5 Battery Testing

    I was told today by the people that changed my oil that my battery was weak. I know how to test it with a multi-meter while cranking the engine. The engine can not start while doing this test and I was wondering if I pull fuse 3 which is labeled injector eng.sub does this disable the injectors...

    CX-5 Whoop noise

    I know this has been on here before but Occasionally I hear a noise best described as a whoop. It doesn't occur regularlyand my best guess is that something is venting. Does anyone have more information?

    Hydropneumatic Suspension

    Citroen had this suspension and people loved it. I don't know all the particulars about it but maybe Mazda ought to take a look at it. Work out the positives and negatives and possibly improve it if possible.

    Mazda Car/Truck?

    Maybe Mazda should consider something like the Hyundai Santa Cruz. They might base it on the CX9 so it isn't too small. Of course they could start from scratch and come up with something great. I can't look down the road at the marketing possibilities but I bet it would be a hit. I don't think...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Abnormal Oil Use

    I just completed a journey of @ 1800 miles on a 2019 GT. Before I left I checked my oil level and when I got back I checked it again. It was down approximately half a quart. Now I know all cars go through oil but this is the first I've had that lost this much. Actually it doesn't seem like a lot...

    Questions regarding my CX-5 and high-compression

    I have a 2019 Gt and love it. It's not perfect but no car is. However some questions have come to mind. The gas mileage in say the RAV4 and the Honda CRV are better. The CX5 has higher compression than every other small suv. I heard the reason for this is to help with gas mileage but it doesn't...

    2017~2025 You can't turn off the Radio?

    Has anyone wondered why Mazda made the radio unable to turn off. I have a 2019 GT and don't know if this is the same on any earlier versions. When I first got it I tried to figure out how to turn it off and discovered I could only turn the volume down or mute it but could not turn it off? Oh...
