    2016 CX-5 Touring driver's seat rocks slightly

    My 2014 is doing this - going to the dealer soon to have it looked at.

    Problem : Windshield air position

    Mine exhibits the same behavior of no "notch" feel but it has never bumped out of the right setting. The entire knob itself feels very strange in that it is easy to turn at first and then is mroe difficult to turn the further clockwise I go. When I first bought the car, I could not get it to...

    Occasional coolant smell in cabin when HVAC is started.

    I have had this issue as well. I also notice it when it is humid (which in Houston is quite often). I'm hoping the dealer will have some kind of solution, as the smell is not the best.

    Missing my CX5 while she is getting some body work done

    The Rogue I have is the previous generation, so I assume the new one is much nicer. I am not impressed by this '13 at all. Fortunately I have a $0 comprehensive deductible so I can get these items fixed, but still wondering if the car is cursed! She should be back by Wednesday...

    Missing my CX5 while she is getting some body work done

    I love my CX5, that sort of goes without saying. I didn't quite realize how great of a car it is until I am forced to drive something else. For the next couple of days I am in a '13 Rogue, which is not even close to being as nice as the CX5. I have been crazy unlucky (or maybe Houston roads...

    Anyone experienced mazda cx 5 smart city brake ?

    My CX5 has the SCBS and I was taken by surprise yesterday when it activated - the car in front of me was turning into a parking lot so I applied the brakes then coasted forward as the car completed the turn. I suppose I got too close for the system to be happy, so SCBS activated and abrubtly...

    2014 Color Question

    I'm happy I picked up a Sky Blue back in September. It is, in my opinion, the best blue color available on the market.

    Considering a CX-5 as my first Mazda. Worth waiting til 2015 model?

    Thank you for the TSB. I took mine in a couple weeks ago and they had no idea how to fix. I will mention this to them when I go in next time.

    Auto Day/Night Brightness?

    I have struggled with this as well. I am often using this switch to toggle back and forth so as to not be blinded during the early morning commute, but then I struggle to see the text at dusk. Not a major annoyance though.

    Anyone leave a Jeep for a CX-5?

    My parents both drive Jeeps - a '13 Grand Cherokee and a '13 Wrangler Unlimited, Sahara. They are both very nice cars (and can be quite a bit more expensive than the CX5). Speaking specifically about the Grand Cherokee, I think it has a more 'premium' feel than the CX5. Of course they are not...

    CX-5 Touring - Get the Bose or not?

    I like the Bose system in my CX5. I had the non-bose in my old CX7 and hated it, so this was a big upgrade for me. From what I can tell from other posts, the Bose is good but not great as compared to what you might be able to do aftermarket. In my eyes, the sunroof is a must have. It makes the...

    Could be a big competitor: The 2014 Nissan Rouge

    I have starting seeing them on the roads around Houston. It is a fairly attractive car (if you like the design language of Nissans as of late). The CX5 is still a much better looking car, in my opinion. I was surprised to see one such model that had steel wheels with wheel covers. I would expect...

    CX-5 Takes Top Safety Pick...But only ones built after Oct 2013?

    Does this translate into lower insurance premiums on our CX5s?

    Washer Fluid Pump

    Update: I finally found time to go to the dealer for them to look at the fluid issue plus my fog light was out. It turns out the fog light bulb and the sprayer hose were both damaged as a result of road debris. I was hit by a small chunk of semi-truck tire a couple weeks back (for the second...

    Washer Fluid Pump

    Just curious to know if anyone has needed to replace their washer fluid pump? Mine seems to be malfunctioning after filling the tank for the first time. Very little liquid is pumped out and never is enough pressure to make it onto the windshield. Interestingly the back washer fluid works fine...

    too many of them

    In Houston, I am noticing more and more of them also. This happened to me at the grocery store last week - I walked with my cart to what I assumed was my car and was puzzled when it did not unlock. A quick peek at the plates revealed that it was indeed not my car. I don't see many of the sky...

    CX-5 Photos - Share your shots with us!

    LOVE the red stitching on the steering wheel. Is it an illusion, or does it have the flat bottom like the racing wheels do?

    Could be a big competitor: The 2014 Nissan Rouge

    Interestingly, the new Rogue's lift gate is made from plastic (specifically polypropylene resin) that reduces the weight - the first of its kind.
