Hood and Mirror Vibration

I took my 2014 in today to see if they could fix the mirror vibration. They told me it was covered under the 3/36 warranty, but he "is going to have to check" to see if it's covered under the extended CPO warranty I got when I bought the car. I also told him I have recently noticed the driver door doesn't open very well. It's like it catches a bit. He said this was unrelated. I find it odd that the fix he told me would have to be done for the mirror involved a brace in the door but the door catching isn't related?? Funny that I didn't mention the hood to him but have certainly noticed that as well. I have a lot of pages to read on this forum to figure out if anyone else has had this issue (door not hood) and to find out if anyone else had this covered under extended warranty. For the record, I love this car, even with the mirror and hood shimmy and the catchy door.

I've been Noticing vibration in the hood on my 2016 when traveling at higher speeds, 60+mph. I know this TSB is for older models but has anyone seen hood vibration on a newer model? What is considered normal amount of hood movement?

None in my 2016 , at least up to 75-80 MPH haven't gone faster than than

If you have any concerns, just pop off the insulation underneath the hood and take a look at the adhesive points attaching the sheet metal to the hood frame, comes off relatively easy. Mine were all broken when I bought the car. I finally took it in before the bumper to bumper warranty expired WITHOUT the insulation. It kind of forced them to say "yeah, there's a problem", rather than it looks normal. Nice and solid now with no flutter.

^^^Good Suggestion^^^ I will pull the insulation off and take a look. I was just wondering if anyone else with a 2016 had experienced any problems. I know the TSB is for 2012-2015 models I believe, but since mine is a very early 2016 there may have been some missed VIN's in the TSB. what is considered normal amount of hood movement?

Actually, there were two TSBs for the earlier models. Mine was supposedly covered by the first one before I bought the vehicle, so the dealer told me. The later one used a better kind of adhesive. I don't know what defines "normal" amount of hood movement.

So does the second tsb cover the 2016s? Anyone know where to find that?

I believe the second one came out because the first one didn't address the problem adequately. Yours shouldn't have the problem.

Well I took the liner of the hood off today to take a look and found that three of the "glue" point that are right near the windshield are broken. I believe this is what is causing my hood vibrations. Honestly, there's not a whole lot holding the support to the hood. I will bring it up at my next oil change.

^^My hood flops like a dying fish (it's hard to tell the difference between "normal" and "not latched fully", literally. Doesn't hurt anything. Let me know if the dealer cares or if they just shrug.

Haven't noticed any flutter on the hood from our 2016 CX-5 but ours seldom drives on the highway. I was surprised yours till have such issue as I thought Mazda should have fixed this simple problem after two TSBs. May be you should take your CX-5 to the dealer without insulation like madar did.

Nothing vibration compare to when take your can and drive up to 110 mile per hour. The outside plastic will click on your windshield, and the wind noise is crazy. I found that not only hood or mirror vibrate a lot, but also I found the front tires vibrate with engine when you put in P gear.(Usually after driving for 10 miles）

If you're still covered under your bumper to bumper warranty they should take care of it.

I just completed the hood vibration TSB myself last night, which included installing a new revised hood cowl trim seal. I didn't have the specified sealant so I stuffed in pieces of foam backer rod instead, into the spaces specified in the TSB. No more vibrations!
