@Lazy2.5: the engine runs great. It doesn't burn oil. I've had a decarb on the engine done every 25k miles since I bought it new. Fuel economy was 450+ miles to a tank but now is running just under 400 miles per tank. Spark plugs were replaced about 15K miles ago. I'd have to go out and grab...

Long-time listener. I've a 2016 CX-5 AWD touring with 158k miles. About 15 months ago, my 2nd ignition coil failed and the original (cheap) mechanic put a non-oem part in. It "ran," but a few months ago, the check engine light started going on and off with P0421. My (expensive & reliable &...

It's been a while since I've been in this forum but I'm stumped. I have a 2016.5 CX-5 Touring wtih 158000 miles on it. Well maintained overall. For the last few months, the check engine light has come on and off intermittently. It first started when I let my 20 yo son fill it with gas. The...

So, as a resolution: I took the CX-5 to my regular (more expensive) mechanic. Something in changing the struts (which were fine) did disturb the ABS system, but also alerted them to the fact that the wheel hubs were stripped. So, two new struts and nearly $2k worth of front end parts later, I'm...

breaks work fine. I drove very slowly and took care around corners especially. Some research online shows the ABS line/sensor is tied to the struts in the front. Except for the lights and the slight metal-on-metal sound, the car handled the same as ever, but all the lights came on and there was...

research online shows the ABS sensors are hooked into the struts on some Mazdas. I am suspecting that is the issue. Here are the lights on, after restarting:

You can go ahead and blast me after the fact. I have a 2016 CX-5 AWD that needed struts. I bought KYB for the model and paid a mechanic I know to install them. He did yesterday. Today, I drove to and back from work -- about 80 miles round trip -- and the car handled fine the whole time. About a...

Hello -- it's been a while since I posted in this forum. My 2016 CX-5 Touring has 104K miles on it and still runs great. I've been told though that some tire bouncing I have is b/c my shocks and struts are worn and needs replaced. The shop I generally go to for oil changes quoted me $1400...

I use my iPhone in my CX-5, but don't have the upgrade for carplay, etc. I do use Bluetooth to listen to music, and often to talk on the phone. Recently, got gifted a set of earPods, but when I try to use them in the car, because I can hear better and be heard better with earphones, the car and...
