    For those having Transmission Issues with their CX-5

    This happened to me as expressed in other posts. I never had an issue with the dealership though. As soon as they hooked the car up to the diagnostics they got the error codes.. sent to Mazda USA who were quick to respond with replace the valve body... I'll assume that your dealership would have...

    Transmission/Drivetrain concerns

    Hi all, I will speak of this as I'm a victim. I recently drove down to LA from Vancouver and this happened to me on the LA freeway (i5). I was doing approx 60-70mph and the traction light came on along with the tire pressure indicator. It's like the vehicle went into neutral and all I could do...

    View backup camera image while moving forward.

    Yes works fine for me while driving... tested it on the way home after my last post. i think the only catch is when you finally decide to exit the maintenance menu it restarts the display system so you have to wait a sec. But this all happens when driving. Unless they change something on the...

    View backup camera image while moving forward.

    I would have to check but if you go into the maitenance menu on the CX-5 you can use the code to display the backup camera while driving forward.... unfortunately i cant check right now or remember what the code was. You can run through the list in the maintenaince menu and eventually get it...

    TSB out in Canada for hood and mirror shake.

    Checking to see if anyone got the info they were looking for after their service? Mine goes in next week. According to this guys in Australia: "Just an update on TSB's for the CX-5.. I guess it was to be expected being 'all new', but boy, they are flooding in.. Around 25+ TSB's so far...

    Remote start

    We are in the same boat. It was added in as an extra on our purchase. We leave it by the door as well as its too bulky for either of us to carry around not to mention you only get one remote... its hit or miss if it will actually start your car if you can figure out the buttons correctly (I...

    How's the CX-5 bumper absorbing bumps and scratches?

    Here is a extreme close-up of a scratch i found on my rear bumper... probably from one of the kids loading something in the back. The scratch is quite small so the picture makes it look a lot larger than it is but I was showing how it pushed and buckled the paint...

    Second Service - Issues!

    Yeah both remotes the same... im leaning to a possible hatch mechanism issue which could be the root of the hatch and locking issues... an the heated seats are possibly just a secondary issue altogether. They were katzkin'd afterwards so maybe the dealership messed something up with the heaters...

    Second Service - Issues!

My CX-5 goes in for its second service this week and on top of the regular service i have a few issues. 1) Heated Seats work intermittently. Some days don't work at all...others they work for about 10 mins then quit. 2) When i press the...

    7500 mile service

    The dealership i purchased mine at in Canada always pays for the first service (which i had done last week at around 9500km or approx 6000miles). They offered to pay for the second service as well. Score! But then i realized after talking with the service desk that the first 2 services are basic...

    Pictures of our new Katzskin leather seats

    I had mine done through the dealership and cost me $1300 here in Canada (All Black). I'm definitely sure the dealership made a buck or two off that. But you could inquire through your dealership where they get them done and approach them directly maybe or call around your area.
