    radio stays on after removing key

    It doesn't do any of that, actually. No chimes etc, it knows the key is out and it doesn't care. It's just a slow powering down of the radio, of sorts. After the radio goes silent, the display remains lit for 5 seconds and ten seconds after that, the clock turns off. weird. I wish I had a...

    radio stays on after removing key

    When I got this 2007 M5, it was simple: I took the key out of the ignition, the radio turned itself off. Immediately. A few months later (I got it in 2010), it would keep the radio playing for one minute after removing the key. After that minute, the radio would turn off. The display would...

    Recall for freezing rear door latches? what about Canadians effected by this

    I'm subscribing to this thread as I have the same problem and haven't had any support from Mazda about it. I haven't put new hardware in yet, though. I just avoided getting moisture around the doors and had a plug-in heater ready in case of emergency. Ridiculous, really. Have the new...

    Frozen slider doors

    I know, but I'm not thinking of lubing that. I was thinking of getting lube into the inside of the door, thinking that the latch mechanism was hidden in there. But now that I know the latch is at the back (how did I not notice that?), I'll have a look at that next time I'm dealing with the...

    Roof rack noise: OEM vs Thule?

    My homemade solution is nice and cheap and works like a charm on my aftermarket Thule square tubes: With 2 U-bolts ($5), attach a short section of plywood to the front bar, running along the top or bottom, it shouldn't matter. To be clear, it runs across the van, just like the rack does, not...

    OEM vs others for upgraded stabilizer bar bushing

    Are ALL the front stabilizer bar bushings available from the dealers the upgraded ones, with the new harder rubber, more wax in the bushing, and a new "cut" location on the bushing. This is what the TSB says the new ones have, so I'd like to assume that all the old ones have been heaved in the...

    "Pop" noise in front suspension

    I found answers to this elsewhere on this forum, some months ago. Here are 2 good links I found while looking: http://www.finishlineperformance.com/pdf/mazda5/bulletin/02-001-08-1918.pdf (This one addresses issues with both front and rear, with different complaints/sounds. Read through to the...

    Frozen slider doors

    I set up a heater in the van for an hour, and that did the trick. So I suppose it's truly a heat/cold issue. Still not impressed, however. And I looked through a list of TSB's in this thread: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123724110-Mazda5-TSB-resources but I don't see anything...

    Frozen slider doors

    The side door on my 2007 is stuck in the open position, unable to latch shut. It worked fine all day, then nothing this evening. It was around freezing all day, colder now, so it might be water in the latches. but HOW to get the latches to close again? I will try that idea of pouring washer...
