Yeah. Coincidentally, in my last email to Mazda, I mentioned what was talked about earlier in this thread about the tech possibly just clearing any error codes and performing the software update the first time I took the car in. It would seem that hypothesis isn't far off the mark...

Finally got my car back today after 2 weeks. The engine replacement was actually finished towards the end of the day on Tuesday, but they didn't finish the AA/CP installation until today. Mazda initially refused to provide any compensation for the inconvenience, etc. The initial response from...

Yes. I got the recall notice the weekend before the first incident, but figured I'd get it taken care of when I went for my next oil change, which would have been in late October or November.

I'll certainly ask and report back what I'm told. While a brand new engine is certainly preferred, I personally don't care enough to "fight" for it if the plan is to use a rebuilt engine. My CX-5 is leased and I'll just get another one in 18 months, so I'm not too concerned about it's long term...

I believe it'll be a new engine. I missed the initial call today and called him back. He stated "the part was in stock and the tech is already working on it." I just listened to the voicemail and in it he said the tech ordered a new engine. I guessing he meant in stock at the...

The service advisor told me he had the parts in stock and they'd already started the work.

Just got a call from the dealership... I need a new motor. One of the rocker arms broke and caused some damage. They estimate it will be fixed next Monday or Tuesday.

That's what I'm thinking and kinda fearing. The car is still under warranty, but I'm concerned the problem won't be correctly diagnosed right away and I'll have another "incident."

I've had my 2018 CX-5 GT since March 2018. No issues with the car at all until two weeks ago. I was driving to work and while at a red light one block from the parking lot, various lights lit up the dash, screen started displaying "smart city brake system malfunction, "radar malfunction." The...

I'll believe it when I see it, but while at the dealer this morning for my '18 CX5's first oil change, the advisor asked how I like the car and if there were any issues. I responded that the car was great, but I wished it had Android Auto. She responded "it's coming." She then said I would be...

My best friend loves to bust my balls and tell me I have a "girl car." Doesn't bother me one bit. In fact, I just leased my 2nd CX5 last month. I simply respond that I don't like pickup trucks and don't need a big SUV. Two of my other buddies are looking into CX 5s for when their current...

Most banks and credit unions will give you the new car loan rate on a refinance provided the car has less than 5000 miles on it and it's within 6 months of the initial purchase date. My father and I have done this 3 times with 2 different credit unions.

+1 I had the same thing happen last fall/winter on my 2011 Mazda6. The lights all went off after 10-15 of driving, but reappeared on the next cold startup. After doing some research, I figured it was a faulty ABS Speed Sensor. I was out of warranty and my cousin is a mechanic, so I ordered new...

1. The rear headrests. I absolutely hate them and removed them the second day I had the car. I've replaced them with the Euro/Asian headrests. 2. I wish the switch for the Sport Mode was on the steering wheel rather than on the console. I'm sure it'll be easier to find as time goes by, but one...

I also bought this set, but haven't had a chance to install them. Glad to hear they are as good as they look in the pics. Any troubles with the install?
