Any updates on whether or not there is a 2014 TSB for the mirror shake?

I am curious if anyone can share their experience with the Mazda financing for their CX-5. I see on their site they are offering 0.9% for up to 60 months. However, nowhere can I find any specific details on the offer. Some specific questions I'm wondering: - Is there a penalty for paying off...

My understanding was that TSB only covered the 2013 models. The one I drove was a 2014, hence my skepticism about the "fix." I don't think anyone has had this TSB completed on a 2014 but I could be wrong.

I agree that it is all highly subjective. This weekend, I test drove a CX-5, Rav-4 and RDX just to get a feel for the competition. I listened hard for noise levels in all 3. The CX-5 noise level seemed just fine to me and I expected the RDX to be vastly superior. However, I didn't come away...

What is interesting about the hood and mirror shake is that they have a TSB and say that cars made after a certain date (Nov 16, 2012 for mirror and April 18, 2012 for hood) should be fixed. Clearly it looks like cars manufactured after that date are still having problems. All very odd.

deepfriedsushi - thanks for the details. It is really helpful. The funny thing is that I've been looking at the hood of my '98 camry that I've been driving for a long time and can see some instances where the hood vibrates today at speed. Trust me there are plenty of rattles and shakes with that...

This whole issue is fascinating to me. Clearly there is something going on, it's been observed by multiple people and there are TSB's out. However, in every review and long term review I've read, i have not seen mention of these issues. I do remember one long term review where they mentioned the...

Good points. I don't think it requires service being done at the specific dealer. I do think they require that you document all the routine maintenance and keep on top of the manufacturer specified maintenance schedule.

A couple of the dealerships in MN offer a "lifetime" powertrain warranty for cars purchased through them. Does anyone know anything about these offers or have you used them in the past. The dealers' websites claim that the value is "$2200" but I am generally skeptical of any kind of "free"...

Nice. How was the experience at Morrie's? It's on the other side of town from me but they look to have a lot of inventory.

Good perspective. I also found it interesting that one of the local dealers advertised in the paper that they had over 40 2014 CX-5's on the way. They only show 42 in inventory on their site so I suspect the 40 number includes some in transit to the dealership. Either way, it's good to see...

I'm considering a 2014 CX-5 so I've been watching the inventory levels in my area using Mazda USA's site. Does anyone know what the inventory really means. If it shows up in a dealer's inventory is that on-site at the dealer or somewhere in transit & allocated to that dealer. Also, does anyone...

I have been lurking for a while and am strongly considering a CX-5 but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I live in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul and have only seen 1 on the road in the past couple months. I was leaving the airport yesterday and saw 1 Grey CX-5 parked in the lot which was...
