BC- Glad that you have not had any issues, that is great on both vehicles and what we all want when we buy new. I did go to both those other dealerships for various reasons before issues came up, and both of them seemed to have good service departments. One is 60+ miles from me, and the...

Thanks for the responses so far, I marked the all of the above (1-3) as the vehicle issues were compounded by the dealership service issues and that I had found such good service at a distant dealership. I just do not see how Mazda has not recognized the loss they are facing from bad service...

CX-SV, I noticed the same thing on a recent road trip of 3000+ miles. It seems that the downshift occurs without mashing the pedal all the way down to "kick" down. This is not a constant, but frequent, and happened on flat roads for me. I wonder if the "learning" transmission algorithm...

I have had a few issues with my CX-5, but nothing big like some have had. It seems that my expectations were not being met for fixing these issues by the local dealership. I contacted Mazda and we agreed on another (Per Mazda) dealership that was "the best in your state". I drove the 120...

I had the TSB's above completed, and a month or so later had a loud thump when turning left in the rain from a stop. There was nothing in the road as best I could tell, and I replicated the issue later (still on a wet road), turns out with the traction control off, the issue went away. It...

Just a question for those that are having problems, what are the build dates of your vehicles?

Anyone else having any noticeable difference after changing their oil with the Mazda MQ?

OP, Limit your idling, remote start and any other engine time if possible. Since you live in the north, this may eat a significant amount of your MPG's. When the engine is cold, try accelerating (moderately) to a speed and coast down 5-10 mph from that speed, then accelerate to your speed...

Had my 2013 into the dealer last week, they ordered parts for some other issues (mirror shake, seat clips for the upholstery) but unfortunately they told me "the dash is plastic, what do you expect" and "it only seems to happen when it is cold and we may have test driven it when it was too warm"...

Paris1, This would have been the last thing I had thought of when purchasing a new car, to ask if they have a loaner policy for warranty work. I have kept the debate to the dealer however, since they did not disclose this to me at time of sale, and that their other side of the house (Audi/VW)...

Paris1, My dealer is less than enthusiastic in the service side of the house. Think of talking to a wall of glue that you get no response from. I found out that their policy is NO loaners for warranty work as "Mazda does not reimburse us for that". Of course this was after the sale and their...

I have almost 10K miles on my stock 17" Yokohama Geolandars and after my tire rotation at 7500 miles, I have noticed an increase in road noise. The tires were rotated in spec by the dealer, and the ones on the front had some edge scalloping, I figured I would let them wear in for a few hundred...

I have been playing with the tire pressure on the stock tires and it seems to me that around 42psi is worth a try. Ride is not too bad and it definitely seems to coast better. I have also found an ethanol free fuel supplier, together this has added ~1mpg on average for the last two tanks YMMV!

Any issues with the alignment?

I have been having good results with the Turtle Wax Ice spray wax.

I have to say that the diesel does look like a good option in the CX-5 compared to the new 6, and think markjenn has a valid point. What cards Mazda is going to play is up to them, the price premium on diesel fuel in the U.S. can also play a part in this. I for one would like the diesel CX5...

This is interesting: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/01/ford-opens-up-sync-to-any-interested-party/#more-472783 As long as Mazda does not change the button layout (simpler is better IMHO) to something like the Ford layout, I would appreciate an open source app platform.

I hope they improved the voice recognition algorithms for the head unit.

Puddle, My condolences for the loss of your wife. I am glad that Mazda is helping you in your tough time.

Brillo, did you mean mph or mpg on your city and highway numbers? I will be real jealous if it's mpgs.....
