A year ago I had to get a TPMS sensor replaced because the valve stem snapped. When the tire shop replaced it, the tech who was resetting the system looked really confused and in the end said to just drive the car for 10 minutes and the light should go off. So I got to thinking that the TPMS...

Folks, I'm been living with this noise for a while now. I took it to the dealer and was unable to replicate the noise problem with the service manager. He gave me some suggestions (which included the higher octane suggestion) and sent me on my way. Well, I tried the higher octane again and...

I originally planned on going with Michelin Primacy MXM4 215/50R17 from Costco ($70 off! Plus lifetime tire rotation, balance and flat fixes). But when I asked for them, the tire tech said he was not allowed to install that tire on the Mazda 5. After asking a buddy of mine with more tire...

I filled up the tank with 93 octane (it was still 1/4 full with 87) and the noise seems to have gone away or at least improved significantly. Sounds like I have some thing to go on when going to the dealer. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Guys! I will try out the higher octane trick to see if the noise goes away and report back. I don't drive much, so it's going to take me a week or so before I need to fill up again. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I thought I would get e-mailed when people respond to my post, but I...

Hi Folks, I have a 2009 Automatic Mazda 5 Sport. I'm hearing a noise from the engine that sounds like a diesel truck, sort of like a quick splutter, "thud-thud-thud". The first time I heard it, I was driving across the Whitestone bridge on I-95 and thought it was a nearby truck. The windows...

resan, another suggestion in addition to southpaw's. When you have key #3 in, are either of the other two working keys very close by (ie in the same hand?) This might cause interference (noted from the owner's manual). I got my key from ausnar and I have a 2009 M5 model.

Pheonix42, there's a sticky thread on this forum where people post recent prices paid. Most are based on new cars, but it gives you an idea on prices. I got my used M5 from Hertz (2009 Sport, 26k miles, $12,845 before tax & title), so far so good. Not the greatest deal out there but it was a...

Just adding on that I got my key for $12.50 shipped from this site. Got the key cut at a locksmith and it did not fit completely in the door and ignition locks. Turned out to be the same issue as mentioned in earlier posts, see #68 on page 5.

If you're wondering what trim your own car is, I think you can just call Mazda Customer Service with the VIN to ask them. As for visually checking for the trim of any Mazda5, I generally go with the Moonroof and the fog lights which are standard on the Touring and GT, but not on the Sport...
