So I have had some more time since replacing my sensors, and so far I have only had false alerts pop up while driving in torrential downpours. The funny thing about that instance is it was both sides, and they would just pop up as blips, the manual does warn about the possibility of this...

So I wanted to post a quick update. I was finally able to get my 90 in to have both BSM sensor modules replaced last week. I wanted to give it some time before I relay updates, but thus far, it appears that my false positive issues are gone. Knock on wood that it stays that way and isnt just...

Open diffs front and rear from what I found, the center diff though is a variable locking unit, so 0-100 front / rear and 50/50 front/rear appears to be the range.

So I will be going in to get the sensors replaced this week, and based on your feedback sounds like it wont fix the issue.

I did, but the modules couldnt be replaced as they are riveted in, and the rivets were not included. Rivets are back-ordered, with my dealership system saying November could be is when new stock is coming in (they dont think this is correct, but just what their automated system is saying). So...

I think the dealership is working heavily with Mazda to get this sorted. Its just a matter of parts availability on a brand new vehicle. Honestly I was more frustrated that it took 1.5 days of the dealership with my car for them to figure out they didn't have the rivets, then needed another...

So BSM modules were supposed to have been replaced (dropped off on Monday), but apparently they are riveted in, and the rivets weren't included with the modules. The back order on the rivets is apparently 6 months, so I am not sure what they are going to do. I am confused as to why they are...

I havent gotten that error message ever with my BSM issues. Dealer was unable to replicate my problems, but I believe that has more to do with whatever diagnostic procedure they were doing must have reset some things in the system. When I got the car back from the initial diagnostic, the false...

:( Ouch. I am willing to bet that isn't a cheap piece either with how big it is. If I had to guess though, it probably made a large crack sound and they stopped before pressing any further. I think you'll probably be okay, had they kept going, it seems like the left side of the cracked part...

I just pinged the dealer this AM, still waiting to here back on the modules. Fuel economy has been slowly creeping up, each drive cycle is pretty close to what I was getting before. I think the "learning" cycle is just much slower then what I was expecting. iStop and BSM is behaving like it did...

I am guessing its mostly things breaking in with the clutches / gears / EV motor etc. There are still times where I have weird lower speed hesitation shifts, or hesitations when getting off and on the throttle (light throttle), but the clunky harsher stuff seems to be smoothening out as time...

At this point I am seeing multiple people complaining of the exact same issue, only affecting the rear driver side BSM across multiple trim levels. Seeing folks on both forums and FB groups, so at this point its one of an assembly / sensor / software issue. After I took mine in for this...

Couple more drive cycles, and I am guessing that they went through a calibration procedure of sorts on the BSM, because the false positives are now just short blips. They are still occurring frequently enough, but they arent coming on and staying on for long periods of time. I am just waiting...

I have no doubts there will be updates. Apparently for the one or two cases of cars going into hard limp modes, it was already communicated that software updates that would truly fix those issues were 1/2 months out (I would guess they arent the only thing in the update). I will say that as I...

You have to take into account what "reliably" means. 100k miles? 150k miles? 200k miles? Understanding that the mechanical limits of the transmission will likely be a good bit higher then what can be done reliably. If I had to guess there is probably about 5-10% of wiggle room to the...

It could be that the torque figure is nearing the optimal "reliability" limit. I have typically seen transmissions have a 30-60% threshold between the mechanical power limits and the factory tuned torque. With transmissions, RPM is a factor when dealing with torque limits, so it could be that...

It was primarily me giving them the chance to capture data on the BSM issue (really it was 2 full days they had the car). Of course I had a loaner... They have some new diagnostic data logger that they used to capture data for Mazda USA. They claim they couldn't replicate it, and to be fair...

Ironically, after three days the dealer reported they couldnt replicate the issue with the BSM (I think what this means it wasn't throwing any BSM specific error codes), but the video proof (many videos) I guess forced them to go ahead and get both rear BSM modules ordered for replacement. I...

It looks like its the size driving that price, a 255/55/R20 drops down to 274 a tire!

Those Michelins are 450 / tire!
