@CX-5um LOL now that's a fun comparison, thanks! I asked the dealer if they take photos when they find items to recommend... because I would love to see what my throttle body looks like, before I decide to spend yet another $100+. They said no. I guess I have to check myself. The car is at the...

@RedBaron Thank you and yes, I've read enough to know not to drive it now. Taking it back to the dealer on Friday (was supposed to be for oxygen sensor but now this also, which I'm making a priority for them to look at), and getting a loaner until they fix it.

I would love to check it myself but just really not sure in my abilities. I can fix many things at home, but with the car, I'm not sure. If I had someone experienced standing and watching what I'm doing, I would feel more confident in opening up the hood and taking things apart. Another issue...

I thought the same thing.. all engine parts looked so clean, and the throttle, too. I wonder what mine looks like after 120K miles.

Thank you so much for all the advice... and it's a mom in this case 😂:) Mom who is not a total idiot when it comes to cars but prefers to let professionals do the big jobs.. Cabin and engine air filters are so basic, anyone can do it. Thank you again!

Mine runs fast too. First 1 min, then few weeks later it becomes 2 min, then few more weeks it becomes 3 min. I think within 6-8 months it gets to 3-4 min. Then it's time to reset for daylight savings so I put the correct time at that point.. and the cycle continues.

Wow they did it a year ago at 50K+ miles? Mine has 120K miles and I've never had it done...It was recommended now as priority item so I'm considering.

Hi there everyone, I have 2013 Mazda CX-5 purchased in 2012 new. The car has almost 120K miles on it. Now that my daughter turned 17 and got her license, this will be her car. I took it to the dealer today for an oil change (and another issue, below), and here is the list of suggested services...

This is great, thank you for posting.

I've been experiencing the same issue (inconsistent screeching noise when braking) and finally after 2 years of trying to figure out what it is (and replacing brakes and rotors twice), I have been told it's the rubber bushings in the lower front control arm. Googling further, I came across this...

Wow you guys are really informative. Thank you. Unfortunately doing this myself was out of question as I draw the line on my ability to be handy.. the line is somewhere after changing cabin/engine air filter and installing wind deflectors ;) So I took the car to a shop recommended by a friend...

Hi guys, I haven't been here in a while... I guess it's good that there weren't any car issues or questions.. but missed the forum. I am at almost 51K miles, and I am told (by 3 different places) that rear brakes need to be replaced. No noise or squeaking so I am hoping rotors are still good...
