    2017~2025 CX-5 Rear Differential Failure

    Why would anyone want to stay with Mazda when rear differential is a common issue at under 100k miles, and the cost of replacement on average is $5500, never mind other accruing expenses? The response from corporate is beyond irresponsible.

    Battery Upgrade to Group 24F?

    It's getting cold and my battery gave me issues. Costco is nearby and coincidentally the guy there said he happens to have the same car as me. i.e. CX5 GT 2016. He said why not put group 24F and stressed on "F". It easily fits in the cavity where the group 35 goes and maybe I might need to saw...

    Navigation issue with new CX-5

    I just picked up a new CX-5 Premium Plus Turbo. I went to exchange my sim card from my 2022 CX-5 to the new CX-5 and it doesn't fit. The 2025 has a different plug-in type. The dealer was NO help. That sure is taking the JOY from my new Mazda. 😭 I'm not sure what to do now?

    Settings randomly changing on 2025 CX-5

    Hey guys, anyone else have the speedometer on their 2025 CX-5 GT randomly go to miles instead of kilometers, despite the setting being on KMs? Also, the infotainment settings randomly change on us and then may change back. The rain sensors don't allow use of the intermittent washer settings...

    Having trouble removing shocks

    Hi all! It's been a while since I've been active on this forum. Thought I would reach out and see if anybody else has the same problem I have. I bought some KYB rear shocks because I have > 150k miles on the originals. I was able to remove the upper mount bolts and the control arm nut & washer...

    Idles at 500 RPM, noticeable vibration

    My 2013 CX-5 has about 340,000 miles on it. In the last few months I've noticed a tendency for it to drop to around 500 RPM when stopped in gear and the a/c off. When it does that, I can feel vibration from the engine. If I give it just a tiny bit of gas to bring it back up to to 600ish...

    2015 vs 2017 CX-5?

    I am looking at the possibility of a 2017 or a 2015 (AWD but without sunroof, turbo or hybrid) as those seem to be highest rated without having the cylinder deactivation and i-stop functions. I've also been looking at a 2016 Toyota RAV 4 or 2013/14 Honda CRV. I found out that Skyactiv is not...

    Tallest 17" tire for the CX-5?

    I have a CX-5. What is the tallest sidewall I can fit? I'd prefer to stay narrow. I found some sweet wheels. The owner said they were off a CX-90. Very chrome. Very clean. Going to be my summer wheels.

    No door lock option within the infotainment menu?

    On my CX-5 2022 Signature I do not have the “Door” lock option within the infotainment menu so the only way of locking the doors while starting driving is manually . Upgrading to the latest firmware also didnt do the trick. Is it possible too enable the option via ODB or diagnostics settings?

    Upgrade to wireless Android Auto?

    I was disappointed to find that my vehicle needs to be plugged in, and only one plug works, and the plug is awkwardly located, to use Android Auto. Is it possible to upgrade to wireless with replacing parts? 2022 CX-5

    Reasonably priced Floor and Cargo Mats?

    I know this has been discussed... I tried reading through all the pages, the wandering off topics, and my eyes glazed over. Looking for good, not a car payment, mats for underfoot and under cargo. I'd like to cover the rear seat back also. Lastly, has anyone put a piece of plywood in the...

    Error Code P0126 Question

    The wife’s 24’ CX5 2.5NA was throwing this code today. I do know that there is a TSB for this, it’s just going to be a matter of how long it’ll take for them to actually do it! Her coolant tank shows right on the “L” mark. When I remove the cap in order to try and top it off, there’s still...

    Slight clunk when coming to a complete stop

    Bought a brand new 2025 CX 5 S Select with only 5 miles on it and it has made an ever so slight clunk sound when coming to a complete stop. Is this a normal thing with the Skyactiv transmission?

    So Long And Thanks For All The Fish…

    With apologies to Douglas Adams. Well I sold my 2013 CX-5 yesterday and I’m kinda sad, but it was toe to let it go. It was a reliable car. I had one issue where it would run rough and die. Dealer diagnosed it with a faulty MAF sensor (I think). There was also bad bearing in the left rear...
