    CX-5 Stopped on the Highway

    Welp, I was driving on the highway and I got a little sputter then the CX-5 went into limp mode. After a $368 dollar tow to the garage it turns out that there is a code for a fuel pressure switch that is attached to the fuel rail. My guy said that there may be a chance he can just swap out the...

    Mazda Transmission Service in the 613 area?

    Anyone from the 613 that can recommend a garage that can drop the pan, change the filter and put new fluid in. The shop I go to doesn't have the fittings to fill the trans. I think it was the polite way of saying that maybe the hassle for them was more than they wanted to deal with. Please help.

    2017 CX-5 GT - Plugs and Transmission Fluid

    Ok, so I've got a bit of a whine from the rear end. I think it might be a wheel bearing so the vehicle is headed in next Thursday to have that looked at. I have 172k kms on the odometer. I asked the garage to provide me a quote for replacing the spark plugs. My question is, does anyone have a...

    Unsettling Experience with Stealership: Transmission and spark plug service

    So I just called to have an oil change done at the stealership (They've been pretty good to me). I inquired about changing the transmission fluid and this service writer seemed pretty adamant to NOT changing it. He also said that it doesn't have a filter but "just a strainer". Also unsettling...

    Rock Chip in CX-30 Windshield - A Canadian Tale

    Driving home from a nice dinner out with the fam and I got a huge rock chip in the windshield. Long story short, called the dealer and they were useless. I called Ziebart (I am in no way affiliated with them, I cold called them) as I have never owned a car before that was good enough to fix a...

    I'm getting an oil change at Costco and I don't care

    I've always gone to the dealer, but they are not open weekends anymore so I'm going to Costco. Castrol Edge is a good oil, the filter can't be that bad. I'm doing it. Roast me, I don't care but I need one badly.

    Ordered a 2024 CX-30 GT

    So I just put in an order for a 2024 CX-30 GT. $44k taxes included, Canadian. 72mos @5.7%...or 5.6% Not sure, somewhere around there. In my area there are no 2023 CX-30s at all. You HAVE to order. Take it or leave it. But on the plus side, they didn't take a deposit because if you back out...

    Is the stock catch can/system replaceable on a 2017 CX-5?

    Can the existing stock catch can system/setup be replaced/cleaned,/maintained? Now I know some of you might say "Well, just put in the Corksport Catch Can system if you're going to go through all that hassle". Yes, that is a good point, but maybe just replacing the existing system would help...

    Airbag Light Flashes After Prolonged Exposure to Cold

    Recently with the sub 0 temperatures, when I start up my CX-5, the airbag light flashes even after the vehicle has been running for a few minutes. Once the vehicle has warmed up I simply tried turning off and turning on the vehicle again. This worked and the airbag light went off when it was...

    I really like my CX-5 but man, a 6 cylinder would really make this thing pop. I did a search here but couldn't find anything on a future 6 cylinder engine.

    279K Kms on the clock. The car is old but runs like a champ. Ok, so this problem only comes up in the winter. Currently my ABS light is on (must have a sensor out). But in the winter, I get the steering wheel light, and the parking brake light, then the check engine light comes on. Sometimes...
