2016 CX-5 AWD GT+iActive Soul Red
1st: Bumper-2-bumper: 36k or 3 yrs. whichever comes first.
2nd.: Powertrain 5 yrs or 60k miles, whichever comes first.
So, I guess by powertrain it means the engine and transmission components but minus the spark-plugs, wiring, sensors, etc. ? Does powertrain include the differential for AWD?
3rd.: Corrosion, etc. 7 years or ?? miles : this is for the rusting part. Got it.
4th.: Some PZEV stuff, which since I am in NJ is 15 yrs. Now, what does this cover? Someone told me the EVAP system, catalyst convertor, exhaust components. Is this true?
Finally, Mazda dealer is telling me brakes are ONLY up to 12,000 miles but Mazda Corp. customer service told me : lifetime. Anyways, doesn't the 1st. bumper-to-bumper cover brakes up to 36k / 3 yrs?
 
Not sure on the powertrain, I would also like to know.

As for brakes, that is a sketchy area. I was told by my dealer that if I am in need of brake service in the first year or 12k miles, then it is fully covered under warranty. I don't think that brakes would fall under the 3yr/36k warranty unless the wear is caused by a faulty component. What I mean by that is say your front left set of pads are down to the metal and the right side are only at half, then that would mean sticky caliper.
 
1st. B-B does not include normal wear items, IE: Brake pads, rotors, wiper blades, nor tires.
2nd. Powertrain usually covers anything covered in oil, so yes, the diff would be included in that.
Corrosion protection means rust perforation. Perforation means an actual hole in the metal caused by rust, does not include surface rust.
Emmission warranty is something else all together and is usually 5/50. It covers things like your sensors, catalyst, ect. But not spark plugs as those are a regular maintenance item.
 
Brake pad warranty would seem to apply to replacement pads installed after the originals are replaced

Mazda Brake Warranty

Our brakes stop, our warranty doesn’t. All Genuine Mazda and Value Products by Mazda Brake Pads and Shoes Come with a Lifetime Limited Warranty.

All Mazda Genuine Parts or Value Products by Mazda Brake Pads and Shoes are under warranty, as long as the original purchaser of the replacement brake pads or shoes owns the vehicle on which they were originally installed.
Warranty is always valid if installation was done by an authorized Mazda dealer.
If the brake pads and/or shoes become damaged, defective, or worn out during the warranty period, they may be exchanged for new warranty-equivalent Mazda Genuine Parts or Value Products by Mazda brake pads or shoes.
Upon purchase, your authorized Mazda dealer will provide you with a service repair order, which is considered “proof of purchase” under the terms of the warranty. When requesting a warranty replacement, the service repair order must be presented, and the original components must be returned and exchanged for new replacement brake pads or shoes.
The customer is responsible for installation charges upon replacement. See your authorized Mazda dealer for a complete list of warranty rights and limitations.
