    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    Thanks for the response and input. I spoke with them again today and we are setting up an appointment to meet the Mazda Representative to personally show and discuss the marks that we found in detail. So we will have to see what the outcome is once the meeting concludes. Hopefully some kind of...

    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    The auto body shop felt the results were showroom quality. Mazda sent a representative to check the quality today and they determined the results were to standard also. I do not understand how though. We are thinking maybe with the angle they were looking at it verses the angle in which we saw...

    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    So after waiting 37 days for my car to be returned back to me after a complete vehicle repaint...I can say-the car looks worst now than it did before it went in. I refused to take it back and I am waiting to hear back from Mazda on how to proceed. The body shop that performed the service covered...

    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    According to the C.E. representative that I had initially discussed the claim with - it is color specific and there were 3 open cases with the same exact concerns. Once your hood was repainted, how was the quality of blending/color match to the rest of the car? I am so nervous that the color...

    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    I am not denying there was probably cinders from roads that have come in contact with the paint due to typical wear and tear on traveling with other cars on the roads. However, this is typical of driving any vehicle. The extent of the damage and the time it occurred (such a short period of time)...

    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    I have been battling with MAZDA Corporate/Exprience since December in regards to the Soul Red paint finish being defective on my 2017 CX5. After many phone calls and relentless emails they have agreed to have my entire car repainted and a new hood replacement due to poor paint adhesion...
