I've not noticed the hood vibration in my CX5, but the driver's side mirror vibration is very noticeable. Its an annoyance that I hope the dealership can suggest something for, otherwise i will need to take it apart one of these days and see if it can't be shimmed someway to absorb some of the vibration.

Hood and Mirror Vibration

Both are noticeable on mine, but as previously stated it isn't a big deal. My only (albeit slight) concern for that if it dents easily. Lot's of heavy brown things roaming at night around me...
I definitely notice the driver's side mirror vibration but the passenger side is much less and not bothersome at all. I don't even notice the hood vibration at all, only if I look for it. If I hadn't read here about the hood vibration I wouldn't have noticed or even thought to look. The driver's side mirror vibration is a bit distracting but I get used to it and adjust after a bit. Not a big deal for me thus far.
Drivers side mirror vibration definitely. One of those subtle things I didn't notice on my test drives, presumably because I was focusing on more important things, as well as trying to ignore the chatting salesperson. Haven't noticed hood vibration as I sit too low to see the hood. Maybe lowering your seat is a good fix for this. When I finally noticed the mirror issue (less than twenty four hours after getting the car home) I figured that it was a design problem and shrugged. Oh well.
mirror vibrating and shaking alot
Hello i have a black grand touring without the tech package.
When i got my car i noticed when im on the freeway or even fast city driving (40 mph +) my drivers side mirror was shaking rapidly! And as time went on it got worse and worse while my right mirror was COMPLETELY still and perfect, and when i played music (volume 20+) it would shake even more! I was not happy with this problem because visibility was not clear when trying to change lanes. I took it back to the dealer i bought it from and he test drove my car an told me it was just NORMAL. bulls*** this is not normal! He took me on a test drive with another CX-5 on their lot and it was doing the same thing. I was very angry because they wouldn't fix the problem claiming it was normal! I took it again to the dealer thats closer to me and they looked at it, and said okay we saw the problem and ordered me a new mirror. 3-5 days the part came and it was installed in a couple hours.
Just got my car back yesterday from the dealer and I'm still noticing that the mirror is shaking even this new one that they have installed! Its certainly not as bad as my previous mirror but it is shaking alot when im driving over 45mph and i have my music on too as well so its even worse! I have no idea why mazda has these bad parts! MY RIGHT SIDE MIRROR IS PERFECT NO MATTER HOW FAST IM GOING OR HOW LOUD MY MUSIC IS, ITS PERFECTLY STILL....
What do you think i should do now?

I had the dealer look at our hood when we brought it in for the 5k miles oil change. They adjusted and tighten it and it is better but not gone. I doubt it will every be absent, the fluttering but so long as it isn't a distraction I'm ok with it. The mirrors aren't terrible, but annoying.

Part of the reason for the light hood is because of new government safety standards for vehicle to pedestrian collisions.

It's not going to be resolved with a new mirror. They are creating a brace that goes inside the mirror. The dealership told me that the passenger mirror is of a different interior design and they are TSB'ing the drivers side mirror with a new design. It's not out yet per my dealership.
EDIT: Hollis - you can file a complaint but they are already working on a fix. Mention it to the dealership and request information on the TSB for it.
hello everyone. this is my first post. i just purchased a new cx-5 on 5/19. i have a liquid silver touring model. i noticed as i got on the freeway that the hood vibrates a lot at highway speeds when the road is a little rough. i also noticed the mirrors vibrate as well. any one else experience the same problems and has the dealer resolved the issue? thanks for your input. other than the 2 issues, i love the vehicle.
I recently bought CX-5 AWD, Touring w/tech package, liquid silver. I've exactly the same problem.. I'm getting vibration/rattle noise on rough roads from doors, mirrors and front panel.
Hi ctaguchi, What was the outcome? Did you take your vehicle to the service? I badly want to know what happened?
They just issued a Technical Service Bulletin on the hood so take it to your dealer and they will fix it. My salesperson just called me today to tell me to bring it in. I noticed it also sometimes I felt like the hood was good flip off!
So what happened, it's been a few weeks. Did the hood fly off or was it fixed?
btw- I was told today by my SA the TSB for mirror is still not out.

Hello everyone, curious if anyone especially with a GT has experienced the gas pedal and steering wheel vibrating between 55-80 to the point you are always bringing it back to the dealer or feel it's a lemon? Been reading a very limted few cases of it but just curious, thanks!
Did u hit a pothole or curb? Vibration at those speeds means your wheel is not balanced....not that the car is a lemon....
No, he was just repeating what he read on the Internet.
