Hi everyone,
I have a 2014 Cx 5 with 80K miles. My air conditioner hasn't been blowing cold for a while. I took it to the local Mazda dealer and they checked the system: performed leak test with dye and passed, no leak was found. They told me the A/C compressor was not engaging. I was given an estimate of between $1100 and $1300 depending on if I chose the Mazda branded equipment or aftermarket. I called up my local mechanic for price comparison and he seemed very surprised that the A/C compressor would break in such a newish care.
Seems like this is a known issue with Mazda? It looks like they extended the 3 year/36k mile warranty to 5 years/60K miles on the A/c? I found that online somewhere, not sure if it's accurate. Maybe I just have bad luck.
Thanks.
