I have searched in this forum about what others with a CX-5 have done if they got a P0507 code. My search turned up zero for the CX-5. My next question, to myself, is does a 2015 CX-5 have a Idle Air Control valve? When I look at sites that sell genuine Mazda parts, they show one for about $150...

I recently did a rear brake pad, rotor replacement. When I "screwed" the parking brake piston in, at some point it wouldn't go in any further. I couldn't get the caliper to fit over the pads. I had to take the backing plates off the new pads, install them, assemble everything then drive around...

Is there something I can adjust, turn, push, add to get another 3-5 horsepower? If it would downshift a little better, that would help. I noticed that when I had a 2017 loaner, I didn't have that feeling of needing more power. It seems like with the same displacement, my 184 hp should be...

I have been having a situation where as I approach where I am going to stop, intermittently, the engine isn't dropping to idle. It will hold at about 1100 rpm, then finally drop to idle. I got a scan tool for Christmas and ran it. The top level of check engine codes showed no codes. There is an...

I have a 2015 CX-5 Grand Touring. Something that has just started happening is occasionally I will stop and I can feel the engine still pulling about 1200 rpm. It will happen 3 or 4 times a day. I cleaned out the throttle body by the butterfly valve and thought it was better, but it isn't. I...

I thought I'd share my experience to see if anyone else has noticed this. My indicated MPG was 25.2 this tank. When I did the math (miles divided by number of gallons), it came out to 27.2. Much better. It's not the first time. It's usually not that high, but higher than indicated.

My 2015 CX-5 GT's radio seems to be dropping the left channel, then it will work briefly before dropping out again. I tried different stations and played a CD. Same thing. My warranty expired 5 days ago. Any thoughts?

I had just returned from a local trip. My wife told me my 2015 CX-5 GT was beeping in the garage. I was getting a series of higher-than-a-horn beeping (I blew the horn to be sure. That wasn't it.) It was beeping in a series of three beeps. After I got into the garage, it did that for a couple...

I decided to try out my SCBS in my cul-de-sac using a large box. The owner's manual says it should work between 2 and 18 mph. I have a 2015 GT. Well, approaching at 15 mph, just before it hit, I could hear the brakes partially activated and it slowed slightly, but it hit the box. The manual also...

Sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find it. Does anyone know specifically how the 2016 CX-5 gained one mpg over the previous models? Was it a computer flash? If so, was there a downside, either way, flash or no flash, to performance. Could the change be applied to the 2015 CX-5?

I need to add a couple of hooks in the storage area behind the back seat for a place for plastic bags so the contents won't roll all over. Any thoughts on how to do this and not uglify the back?

Before today, I could get text messages. If I was moving, I could touch the speaker symbol and the message would be read to me. Today, after a pause, I get an "X" next to the speaker symbol. I called mazdausa.com/bluetooth from the owner's manual. After a while, I got a guy who told me I need...

I have a 2015 with the pull handle parking brake. If I had to, I could slow some by pulling up on it. What happens on the 2016 with the Electronic Parking Brake? Does it not do anything if you are moving? Does it try to brake as hard as it can? Since it is advertised as "electronic", can it vary...

Sometimes when I start off, I feel a stumble. I read that the CX-5 has a hill holder feature. Does anyone think it could be the hill holder releasing or I really do have a stumble?

I considered buying the redesigned CR-V, but liked the handling of the CX-5 better. In the latest Car and Driver, at the end, talking about handling, it said "Nimbler, it still doesn't rise to the dynamic standard set by the Mazda CX-5, but this refresh will probably keep the CR-V in its...
