I just bought a 2013 Mazda5 Grand Touring with about 80k on it from friends. It is going into the family fleet and probably kids driving it more than me. The seats have seen better days. What is the current go to for neoprene like seats? I base this on getting some factory Honda ones for my...

Apologies if this has been discussed..... I'm in crisis mode. My son wrecked the front end of a 2008 Mazda5 that I would like to salvage and keep on the road. When scouring FB Marketplace, which years of the Mazda5 will have common parts (hood, headlights, radiator, bumper skin, etc.??? I'm...

The van has absolutely no sound deadening whatsoever. It's pathetic. I fixed that today. I did a three part install: the classic Dynamat style asphalt on the door skin (I used Killmat), then I did closed cell foam on the inner skin, and finally I did mass loaded vinyl on the door panel itself.

Just bought a 2013 GT. First things first, replace the stereo! After some chatting with iDatalink Maestro reps, seems the Maestro RR won't really do much beyond retaining steering wheel controls. I was hoping to integrate the factory parking sensors, and possibly the Sirius antenna. Since it...

2012 Mazda5 GT auto about 40,000 miles. Could not find quite the same issue on the forum, so making a post. I think I'm on the right track, but would appreciate advice and notes on similar experiences. AT = automatic transmission; TC = traction control First Incident: about 2 weeks ago on...

A few weeks ago, the CEL came on. I took it to Advanced Auto, they gave me the code, went to the mechanic, and he said that it was one of the oxygen sensors. I paid for that repair, and by the time I came back home, the CEL was back on. I took it back, they said nothing was wrong with the...

I'm not sure but the photo may be upside down? Lol My headlights are horrible. There's a big dim spot towards the passenger's side. Is this likely an adjustment issue? I have the factory halogen projectors with standard hella replacement bulbs. Please help.

I just bought a used 2012 Mazda5 touring last month, unfortunately the 2012 touring didnt have even the parking sensors. So I wanted to install a back up camera for it . This's my first car job ever to do on my own so I was bit nervous about removing the whole panel of the lift gate...

Hello all... I need some help to replace the camshaft sensor in my 2014 "5". Is it as simple as it looks, removing it, and installing a new one? Or is there any other adjustment needed? This is what happened: The "check engine light" came on, ODB error code P0340, "Camshaft Position Sensor /...

So I went to have a routine rotation done and discovered two of my rims are bent and the accompanying tires have lovely sidewall bulges nearby on the inward facing wall. Both were on the right side and the wife is pretty sure it was when she nailed a pothole while driving near the Atlanta...

Hello community, I hope this thread is on the correct area. I'd like to know about the engine oil my car needs. I recently got a used Mazda 5 2012. I read on the oil cap that my Mazda uses 0w20, but I'm not sure since I have heard two things: 1) One guy told me that since my car is currently...

Has anyone put the aluminium speed3 valve cover onto a N/A 2.3 to get rid of the plastic one? The filler cap is in a different location but looks pretty much the same otherwise ? Thoughts ?

I'm trying to decide which mechanic to trust about this sound I'm hearing in my 2013 Mazda5. One says wheel bearing, one says brakes. Are either of them right!? CLUES: The sound seems to be associated with pressing on the brakes, but it doesn't always happen. I do not feel any shimmy in the...

Just joined Mazdas247, so hello everyone! I want to share my experience about replacing my Transmisison Control Module: The vehicle is a 2008 Mazda 5 2.3l automatic. Not certain what trim level. Initial problems were random and infrequent hiccups in power, AT light turned on with code U0101...

Hello all, New member here. After enjoying an RX-8 for several years even though I have two children (it's ok, the wife has a Lexus ES300 for family hauling), I've recently replaced it with a 2015 Mazda5. After 11k miles I now notice the understeer quite a bit and I think I'm ready to explore...

I just got my first Mazda, a used 2009 5 Sport with the single disc CD player and aux port. In my previous vehicle I had a Pioneer head unit w iPod integration and USB drive and liked that but the bezel thing on the Mazda prevented me moving it over. I tried the aux port this weekend with...

Hello everyone. First post: I picked up a 2012 Mazda5 Touring 2 months ago with 24,000 miles on it. Absolutely love this vehicle with the exception of one irritation; the Bluetooth! I've searched for a fix, and haven't found a specific thread mentioning the same issues as mine. I have...

We just got a new 2015 Mazda5 GS with an automatic transmission. I was wondering about the durability of driving it using the manual mode? How aggressive can one be with the manual mode in terms of downshifts, etc? Tips or suggestions? So far, I find I get good results lifting slightly on the...

Hi all, first time posting here and needing a little help. The horn went out on my Mazda5 a little while ago and I'm not sure how to start. I've heard that it could be the horn itself, a fuse, or the button inside the steering wheel. For someone that's trying to do this at home in the garage...

Hi, I am getting a intermittent noise on my wifes '06 Mazda 5 Sport, the car develops a noise whilst driving. It sounds like a motor has started running and after a couple of seconds you hear a click as it stops. I am assuming the click is from a relay? the noise seems to be coming from under...
