Hi all, 2014 CX-5 Touring with cloth seats. Seen some great option for seat covers, but just wondering if anyone has experience with door covers / protectors? I have a small dog (about 15 lbs) who gets secured in the backseat via a strap that connects to the seat belt buckle. When he wants to...

So I got my first CEL in over 10 years and 130k miles of ownership. Hooked up the OBDII reader and got the P0172 - System Too Rich Bank 1 code. I recently replaced engine air filter and double checked that its secure/installed correctly. Next I am thinking maybe the MAF sensor needs to be...

Hey all, so getting ready to purchase a new set of winter tires in 225/65/R17 for my 2014 CX-5 Touring probably towards the end of this month. I previously had on the Blizzak WS-90 and here are my thoughts after 3 seasons. With 3 seasons, they lasted longer than my previous WS-80's did which...

So today we were driving when all of a sudden the AC stopped blowing. I then tried the heat just out of curiosity and nothing. So I am thinking the blower motor went out? I really don't know, but since it wasn't specific to AC, figured that made the most sense? Anyone have to replace that on...

2014 CX-5 Touring Well I was driving home yesterday at night and noticed my light seemed rather dim. Well turned out the left bulb was burned out and the right is on its way. Had these on the car less than a year. I guess its true, these higher brightness bulbs don't last all that long. I...

So I had a little bit of a uhh...scraping incident involving me and the side of a parking garage leaving after working far too long and hard this week and my mind apparently elsewhere. Needless to say that was a jolt to full awareness and another case study of don't drive when exhausted...

Sounds like a California thing to do.

Have a buddy who offered the use of their garage/lift and also offered to help me replace my rotors and brakes. He does all that work on all his vehicles and I've never done any brake work before. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on rotors and pads and where to buy? My...

2014 CX-5 Touring to be clear. So from this thread: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/index.php?threads/follow-up-re-liftgate-issue.123869839/#post-6696704 Figured out after doing some more testing this weekend that my problem with the car unlocking is isolated to the front passenger door and...

My 2014 CX-5 has about 87,600 miles now. I'm noticing that the past week there has been some bounciness on portions of my drive that doesn't feel normal. Made me think maybe the shocks/struts are going out? I actually don't know what the difference is between shocks and struts. Can someone...

So a few weeks ago I made a thread where I mentioned the lift-gate was not unlocking when I was unlocking the car. Suggestions were mostly to lubricate the liftgate latch and bar which I did. Another suggestion was that water could get in and cause a short. Now though I have determined this to...

MOD EDIT: 08/15/2020 - Hi everyone. I created this thread because there was some off-topic discussion about LinkedIn in a different thread. Instead of deleting those posts, I figured I'd move them here in case others might find the discussion valuable or interesting. Dave Coleman hardly has...

Ok, so mine is a 2014 meaning I don't have any fancy button on my fob to open the liftgate, or anything special like that. Twice this past week, I went to open my liftgate (little button on the liftgate), and both times it wouldn't open. I then pulled my fob out, hit the unlock twice just to...

This fuel grade thread got me thinking. I am higher altitude so we have 85 octane as our regular here. Since the manual calls for 87, I've always just used the mid-grade 87 octane, plus you never know when you might be going to a lower elevation. When I had that loaner 2019 GT, I was struck at...

I was driving yesterday and saw a Toyota CH-R with some really weird tacked on spoilers and other crap. Literally the worst looking car I've seen in a while. So what's the last bad looking car you've seen?

Non-Turbo. So while my 2014 is getting looked at, they gave me a loaner in the form of a machine grey 2019 GT. Here are some of my observations for both pros and cons. Pros: - Lots of little details and features Mazda got right. I was impressed with the trunk area, the wheel wells are carpeted...

Hey guys, This has been on my mind for a while. So I have things down like changing oil, ATF, spark plugs, air filters, light bulbs, battery, etc. for normal maintenance. But something I was a little less sure about were the items in the Chassis and Body section of the maintenance schedule...

I've now been hit in my CX-5 by 2 people with either bald tires or inadequate tires for the weather, and both hits are directly attributable to the tires and their inability to stop in rain or snow. I just pulled up into a parking lot right next to an SUV, and look at this crap. Just another...

Well, slightly different thread from my last one. I am about 500 miles away from my next oil change which will be 7500 miles since my last one. I was not particularly happy about having to add a quart of oil at 6000 miles. Thinking of the following options: Stick with 0w20 and go back to a...

Was perusing Castrol's site and noticed they listed these specs on SkyActiv 2.5L oil capacity. Still don't understand where this 4.8 is coming from, but the total capacity number is interesting at a whole quart more.
