I've reset the ECU several times, and have had the dealership reset the "learning parameters" twice on the existing car, and three or four times on the previous car.

Yes, I'm going to let them install the data-logger, provided they will contact me to install it. I haven't heard from Mazda since they offered it early last week. @mashburned, The Protege was a product of the Mazda/Ford partnership, but it was 99% Mazda, and less than 1% Ford. It was the car the...

I left two voicemails for my representative with Mazda corporate last week. Someone finally called me back yesterday and offered to temporarily install a data logger in the car and have a Mazda engineer take a look at it. He said they'll be in contact with me next week to coordinate it, but I...

After over ten years with my 2003 Mazda Protege, which I had almost no problems with, i leased a 2015 CX5, which I had to have the transmission REPLACED before my first oil change. After 6,000 miles. I got rid of it, and traded it in for a 2016 CX5, 13 months ago. NOW, the transmission is...

Yep, mine seems to do the same thing, but the dealership claims they "can't duplicate the issue."

That's what I was thinking. I'll need two fuse taps, is that right? One for a switched source, and one for a constant power source?

I bought a used Homelink mirror for my 2016 CX-5, but don't have the wiring harness that plug into the harness in the A-pillar that's included in the kit that's available at the dealership. Can anyone tell me which wires that harness plugs into? I noticed that there are two empty pins on the...

Yes, and yes. I also tried the second key fob. The batteries aren't low. The keyless entry works, but the ignition doesn't recognize the keys.

One other thing I hate: The keyless ignition. Ever since I got the car, I've been nervous about what would happen if it ever stopped working. Today, it stopped working, and the car is completely dead in the garage, and I've been waiting for the tow truck for two hours. At least I'm at home, and...

I absolutely hate the transmission. It shoots to 5th or 6th gear as quickly as it possibly can, and takes forever to downshift if I need to accelerate. If I slow down from 30 to...say, 10 or 20, and then want to accelerate again, it stays in 5th gear and I have to floor it to get it to...

I had a 2015 CX5. The transmission had to be replaced at around 2,000 miles. I still had problems with the new transmission, but the dealerships in Denver couldn't figure it out, so at 6,000 miles, I traded it in for a 2016 CX5. I'm at 3,400 miles now, and the transmission has started hesitating...

I have the same concern. I thought there was something wrong with mine, but it sounds like it's normal operation?

Mine is doing exactly the same thing. I don't wear jeans in the car very often at all, but the blue dye is rubbing off onto the left side of the driver's seat pretty badly.

Finally rolled the odometer over to 200 miles

So, I leased the silver 2015 GT w/Tech pkg at the end of January last year. I made the mistake of not test driving the one I ended up getting, because I had test driven four others; I figured they were all the same, so the first time I drove it was on the way home. I had throttle and...
