    2014 CX-5 100k service

    These cars' LCA bushings seem to clunk first and fail second. Very little movement (if any) detectable until they fail.

    Folding side mirror issue (2021 CX-5)

    I just disabled the auto folding on my CX-50. I normally don't need it, and can fold them manually on the few occasions I do.

    I reused the factory socket, and made my own adapter. See: Aftermarket head unit instead?

    Hesitation at high RPM after refilling the gas tank?

    Not sure I understand? Premium gas will also contain alcohol (unless you specifically get a gas that is advertised as zero alcohol, but that's not available at most gas stations).

    2018 CX-5 Door handle issue...Help

    Here's the manual section for removing the door panel. You can then check if (likely) something is disconnected from the handle.

    Power lift gate problem (2024 Mazda CX-5)

    I think he meant he wasn't buying the dealer's story, not yours.

    Advice for first trip to indie mechanic? 2021 CX-5

    "Inspect" means "check level". Your car is only 3 years old and 40K, your brake fluid should be fine for a couple more years,

    Power lift gate problem (2024 Mazda CX-5)

    Sure! It could be "just one of those things" and clearing the codes makes it go away and never come back. If not, you're no worse off.

    Can't set assistant volume anymore (CX-5 Android Auto)

    Not 100% sure about this, but worth a try... just adjust the volume on your phone while using the assistant. That should work, and is probably easiest.

    Advice for first trip to indie mechanic? 2021 CX-5

    I would call and ask the cost at the indie mechanic. You might find it's not much cheaper than the dealer (mine does all the things you want as a matter of course, incl an inspection video). Of course, if you don't like or trust your dealer, then ignore this :)

    2015 CX-5 Inspection passed but note on bushings, brake fluid and rear shocks

    Well, in an (admittedly small sample) case of my cars, the one in our 2014 CX-5 broke, folded the wheel, and popped the drive shaft CV joint. Fortunately for us, it happened while moving the car in our driveway. (See the thread I linked above.)

    2015 CX-5 Inspection passed but note on bushings, brake fluid and rear shocks

    The bushings/balljoints are not available or replaceable separately. And if the LCAs are not replaced, you can have your wheel(s) collapse while you're driving. Not a good idea. HOWEVER, you will usually get some advanced notice from them clunking before they fail spectacularly. Also, the...

    CX-50 Torque Steer issue

    I just went for a drive to test this in my car. Foot down sharp left turns... no torque steer whatsoever. Mine is a '23, and I notice that the people reporting this all have '24's. I wonder if this might be a side effect from the steering changes introduced in later 24's?
