    CX-5 P0171 Code - HELP

    Yea it sucked. Since I "caused" the problem by changing the filter they would not waive it. Of course they tried to up sell all these additional services too. - 30,000 mile service $399 - Brake fluid flush $150 - Throttle body cleaning $180 I asked the service manager if any of these were...

    CX-5 P0171 Code - HELP

    Just an update. I noticed yesterday night that the air filter housing was not secure. I suspect this happened a few months back when I replaced the air filter. I still took it to the dealer to get them to diagnose it properly and yep it was the loose air filter housing that caused the check...

    CX-5 P0171 Code - HELP

    I appreciate the followup. I'll update what happens tomorrow. I suspect my wallet to be several hundred dollars lighter though for some reason... I will mention the o2 sensor as well

    CX-5 P0171 Code - HELP

    I was wondering if you were ever able to get this resolved through your dealer? If so, what ended up being the problem? Did they end up paying for it as your vehicle was out of warranty? I am in the same situation as you. The check engine light came on today while driving and I stopped by...

    2 months!! Wow that is unbelievable. My dealer seems confident that the new valve body will fix the problem, but after reading your post I am not so sure. I am curious, did you receive a month's worth of a car payment as compensation?

    Warning Lights Flashing and Engine Revving

    That certainly won't be the case. We love our CX-5 and are impressed more and more everyday with how fun it is to drive. We also own a 2012 Mazda 3 Skyactiv and I have had almost 19,000 trouble free miles. My wife had a 2004 Mazda 6 which didn't give us any problems except for normal wear and...

    Warning Lights Flashing and Engine Revving

    I called just to checkup on our Mazda, turns out it has to have the transmission valve body replaced :-/. It will take 2-3 weeks for the part to arrive so they offered us a CX-5, Mazda 3, or 5 loaner. Apparently the demand is so high for this part right now because of all of the defects there...

    Warning Lights Flashing and Engine Revving

    Our Mazda CX-5 Touring did the same thing aperture_shot described in his post last night driving home. The engine all of a sudden down shifted and the Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. I put the shifter into manual mode and tried to manually shift the transmission, but the gear selector...
