    Power steering failure on Mazda5 (TSB: 06-002/09)

    My 09 5 (20K miles) will go in tomorrow for PS failure :( We were in Vegas for the weekend in 110* weather and dummy light came on a dozen or so times. We called the local dealer and the second we mentioned PS light they gave us the 'its safe to drive but bring it in ASAP and it will take some...

    Heated Seats

    Oh, interesting. I have been having problems w/my heated seats, too, and was starting to think I was crazy. I know they worked, as during the summer a few times I had accidentally turned them on. A few weeks ago I turned them on to actually use them and they wouldn't heat. We took it in to the...

    What don't you like about your 5, and what fixes have you used?

    I think the arm rests are great. Have noticed the wind noise w/the back windows, but don't really care. Agree that the sun visors should extend or have a double visor. TOTALLY agree that a few inches of cargo area would make a world of difference! As it is, it's just shy of being able to 'line...

    To 5 or not to 5.. potential owner questions

    I've not tested this, but know that my kids prefer the back seat in my 5 to Dads 3 because of the lack of AC vents for the backseat. And like I said, I read quite a few complaints about lack of AC when researching.

    No, no navigation. So are you saying w/an aftermarket the Ipod jack still works?

    To 5 or not to 5.. potential owner questions

    Another thing to consider, I believe the older models don't have rear AC. We have an 09, but I do remember that being a complaint in my research.

    Sirius installation.....Cheapest - how to?

    Thanks for the link! I'll have to decide if the $$ is worth it to still have Ipod capabilities. Bummer that the one counters out the other (and no navigation for me.....I prefer to be lost LOL). I talked to my husband about the antenna placement and he seemed to understand what you were saying...

    Sirius installation.....Cheapest - how to?

    Thanks for the information. My husband installed an after market on our previous vehicle and it worked great (and looked okay LOL). He's no expert ((lol2)) but can follow directions. I'm just thinking I'd rather have the streamlined look of the Mazda radio, and I'm unclear on how the Sirius...

    Sirius installation.....Cheapest - how to?

    Hey guys, first post :) Is there a thread somewhere that goes over the different methods of self install for Sirius? I've found some self install information for the Mazda3, would that be the same process? Do most go w/after market equipment or the Mazda integrated? If you're going w/Mazda, who...
