    2009 M5 - 3rd FRT RIGHT Axle Seal Gone Bad - Any thoughts?

    Third one bad. Starts small then gets nasty. Especially when stopping at a light. Tranny fluid leaks everywhere and starts to burn on the manifold. Going to the dealer. This is now a pain. What else could this be? Gonna snap on my ugly face with the dealer. Axle not true (straight)? Thoughts?

    Just bought my 08 Mazda5

    Hello all, Just bought my '08 Mazda5 on 6/21/12 and loving it. Used to own a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT that I put much love sweat and tears into but had to sell it so I could get a vehicle to fit my DJ equipment into and thus the Mazda came to be.

    Lame stereo in the 2012 Mazda5 GT

    Hi, I just purchased a 2012 Mazda5 GT for very practical reasons. The "upgraded" stereo in the Grand Touring package is a MAJOR step down from the high-end stereo in my old Volvo V50. This issue has become a real killjoy for me in my experience with the vehicle, and caused me to delay buying...

    Starter replacement at only 51k miles?

    Yesterday I got a call from my wife saying she was stranded at the shops because the car wouldn't even attempt to start. Dash lights come on, air blows, music plays, does not start. Incidentally the closest auto service was the Mazda dealer across the street. We towed it there and got the...

    Excust my manners.. I think introduction is long over due

    Hi Mazda247 Community: My name is Pete and I recently became a Mazda fanatic. I was always fond of the 90's RX7, Protege, and Miata but in the last decade, have not been interested in the Mazda brand simply because I wasn't a huge fan of Ford not to mention the partnership. In the last 10 years...

    2010 Mazda5 AT Shifting problems

    Car novice here so pardon the naivet'. I've got a 2010 5 AT with ~26,500 miles on it. A couple months ago, I noticed the transmission seemed to be slow to shift when accelerating between 40-60MPH and then again from 60-80MPH. It also feels like the transmission "stumbles" when downshifting...

    Replaced Brake Pads and Rotors on 2006 Mazda5 Sport...my experience (very long)

    I just spent the better part of a day (start to finish) doing a brake pad and rotor replacement on my 2006 Mazda5 sport. It had 54,252 miles on it. The front rotors were badly warped (another issue that I will not get into here). They had been turned once, and were okay for awhile after that...

    2012 Mazda5 - Roof Cargo Bag suggestions?

    Hi, We have a 2012 Mazda5. We park in a garage in the city which discourages cars from having Roof cargo boxes (i.e, you can have them but then you get charged the "SUV" parking rate instead of the cheaper "sedan" rate!) So we are looking buying at a roof top cargo bag instead (Thule Quest?)...
