Abuse related means pushing ANY button more then 100 times. Seems Mazda doesn't know how to find a supplier that knows how to make the underside of buttons to last. Our Astro Van controllers lasted 75,000 miles before replacing. My brothers VW flip key keyless entry unit is at 83,000 and still...

Who has had bad luck with Mazda's keyless entry/car key units for the Mazda 5? We have gone through 6 so far with 8,500 miles on our car in 11 months when the car was bought from new. What happens when my warranty runs out? From buttons stop working to intermittently working (5) from being a...

I had a bad popping dashboard noise that got worse when it got cold. They fixed it by oiling the metal clips that hold in the window gasket. The metal clips move enough to make the noise. They fixed it on 1st try. I gave them the PDF sheet that is floating around this site that says you need...

Hot Dog, Look at this thread. I too swapped out the OEM tires and rims for winter/tire combo for my wife's Mazda 5. http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123647235

Just put them on last night. I needed to spot undercoat the car before it snowed last night here in Minnesota. My car had no undercoating in the rear wheel wells around the lip of the curled under outside fender and spots in the front and rear wells. Plus, no coating in where the rear...

email or call tirerack.com, they helped me out with any ??? I had.

I ordered these rims/tires on Sunday night from Tire Rack.com and received them on Wed. A three day turn around, not bad. (Indiana to Minnesota) I was impressed on the quality of the rims for a $109. They all balanced up with very very little weight. The rims were covered with 2 layers of...

Does anyone know the rim torque specs for the US Mazda 5? (peep)
