Hi, My 2013 CX-5 door mirrors adjusting switch on the driver's door has stopped working, including the mirrors folding function. I've checked the 7.5A fuse in the passenger footwell compartment, no problem. I've spoken to the Mazda main dealer and he's told me that the switch unit would be...

Hi, anyone had a wheel bearing problem? My CX-5 has recently had it's 4th annual service at the main dealer, just one small problem with one of the rear brakes binding; paid an extra 96 to sort it out. But I've noticed since, and I'm fairly sure before, the service what sounds like a regular...

Front Brake Discs. Hi, in response to the CX-5 recall for tailgate struts I took my car in to my local main dealer. They did the work, but when I collected it told me they'd carried out a "health check" on the car. One item was the front discs, which they said were both worn to a dimension of...

xtrailman "I got about 4200 off my 2015 car, so would be wanting a lot more than that to buy a outgoing model, and would also expect extra equipment on the car, a free safety pack for example." Do you mean you got that amount off from the Mazda dealer, and was there a p/x involved? Of course...

My CX5 SE-L Nav auto is also just over 3 years old and I have to say it's been an excellent car, give or take the odd camshaft problem, I have really enjoyed it. But have been wondering whether I should replace it, hmmm. In view of the current negative image of diesel engines my first thought...

Just an update on Mazda's Recall to check the brake vacuum pump, which in my case resulted in the need to change this unit. I returned to my dealer later and had a long chat about this work, expressing my concern that changing the vac pump was by definition indicative of excessive camshaft...

Xtrailman, well, that's worth thinking about and may investigate a deal. I willl also try and pin them down on where I stand, post warranty, if a serious problem (e.g. camshaft) related to the recall were to occur. Thanks for your and rocketron's thoughts.

And just a follow up having now done more research. I see the subject was covered in several posts around July/august this year, e.g. Xtrailman's post 2096, also from Dr Watson and Rocketron. In trawling through the various links I found a Mazda Service Information document R074/14C which...

Xtrailman, Thanks for the reply. As it happened my car was only in for a day. They told me they changed the brake vac pump (the turbo light matter was apparently not significant) and the oil, and a modified oil filter, and software updates. But now I've been reading about premature camshaft...

Yes, I've been playing with the available settings and, as mentioned above, find it impossible to get an acceptable brightness to cope with bright/dull day and night conditions. I took my car in yesterday for the brake vac pump check and was told it would be ready by lunch time. But I received...

Another question, and apologies if it's been covered before. The 'auto dim' feature on my NB1 just doesn't work properly! The main problem is there appears to be no graduation between mav brightness and max dim. Taking today as an example, it's 9 am, daylight but pretty gloomy, engine running...

Hi, thanks for the replies. In fact, I decided to pop into my local Mazda dealer and got more or less the same answer. She emphasised it wasn't a 'recall', just a 'campaign'. I said what's the difference . . . and she smiled! So apparently it's to do with too much wear of the camshaft or...

RECALL I've had a "Special Service Campaign" recall from Mazda in the post today. It's for CX-5s with the 2.2 diesel engine, but bizarrely worded. The title mentions "unusual brake pedal feeling", but in the main text it says "routine quality checks have found a number of CX-5 vehicles may...

Hi, New (old) topic re SMS messages, which I've raised before. I have an LG G2 mobile and have had no problems receiving and displaying SMS messages, until recently. Now I can't display the downloaded message, no idea why. Anyone know what the fix is? Thanks.

Hi, Just to throw a couple of queries into the ring. Anyone find the i-stop feature doesn't work so well at this time of year? Mine rarely operates at the moment; I used to think it was linked to the blue light and would operate after the light had gone out, but not so with mine. I'm aware...
