    Suspension Rebuild?

    I have a 2016 CX5 GT. It just turned over 130K miles. To date the only real issue was the belt tensioner which went out at about 122K. After inspection this weekend I'm planning on doing a suspension rebuild. Right now, I'm planning on replacing- if needed the struts, strut bearings, rear...

    2019 Mazda3 Yellow Triangle with Exclamation Point

    My son just came home from school and when he went to leave the master warning light triangle with the exclamation point came on the dash. He said the car ran rough and would not go over 65 mph. It's a 2019 Mazda 3 with only 5600 miles. I started the car and drove it when he got home. Of course...

    Need Replacement Wheel Lock key

    I just purchased a used 2016 CX-5 GT that came with the factory wheel locks. I just took a look and I can't find the locking wheel lug key anywhere. Is it possible to just purchase a new wheel lock key? It appears the wheel lock lug set is Mazda part 0000-88-120D-BP. Can anyone confirm and is...

    Purchase Decision- 2016 or 2014 CX-5 Grand Touring

    Due to someone turning left in front of us and the result being our 2014 Touring being totaled we're in the market for another car. As we walked away from the impact of 45 mph I'm impressed enough with our CX-5 to get another one. I've narrowed it down to two choices: The first candidate is a...

    Bye Bye CX-5

    Two days ago a car decided to turn in front of us while we were traveling about 45 mph. I had no time to do anything except get on the brakes for about 15 feet before we collided. The airbags deployed including the side curtain ones. The engine ended getting pushed into the firewall and the back...

    2014 CX5 Rear Shock part # Change - KYB

    I've got a late build 2014 Touring CX-5 (11/13). Earlier builds in 2013 KYB list rear shock part #349219. For mine since it was a late build in 2013 they list part #3440013 as the correct part number. Anyone know what the change is? I was going to buy a set of the #3440013 on Rock Auto and I see...

    Rear rotors groove on top. Looks Like factory design.

    I just checked my rear brakes at 56K miles. The pads still have over 33% left. I did look at the rear rotors too and there is a groove or split in about a quarter of the outside edge of the rotor. At first I thought it was a defect however both rear rotors had the same exact groove. This would...

    Fumoto Drain Plug Options

    In my opinion the standard inverted oil drain plug hex is a bad design. If you strip it out then it would be quite a job getting the plug out one last time. As a result, I've been looking at the Fumoto Oil Drain valves. It looks like there are at least three that will fit our cars: F106N -...

    Battery Issue?

    Tried to start my 2014 CX5 2.5L in the airport parking lot after my plane landed last night and the battery was completely dead. The car had been sitting for 5-1/2 days there. Fortunately, I was able to get a jump but when I started it the ABS, TPMS and traction control lights were on and stayed...
