Exactly. It's not like a missing grommet or a screw that falls out somewhere. it's the engine, a major, major component. The zoom-zoom part!

Exactly. If one were part of the one percent and had that expense and aggravation, then that person wouldn't think it's so trivial.

I just ordered an OEM rear brake hose for my Scion XB online. Came to $67!! Hose, gasket, and banjo bolt. Crazy. Thing is about a foot long. Must be lined with gold. The dealer wanted $66 just for the hose alone. Gasket and bolt came to about $8 each online.

Interesting on the camber bolt. An OEM part shouldn't have that problem, right? I probably would've said to check the angles first to see if it was needed. It's an annoyance that manufacturers aren't making camber and caster adjustable. I guess it's a good thing it's in there. You really don't...

The EPB actually makes things easier if you think about it, no special tool to turn in parking brake caliper pistons...

Yep, those curbs can get expensive... It was $1000 for me when all was said and done. That was with breaks on some of the things I got done like SI and wheel alignment which I got done purely because of new tires I just bought. ,

If it works with your old ones I'd say the problem is the non-OEM ones. If you feel you must replace them go back to Mazda.

Maybe you got something on the circuit board underneath the knob, or maybe the board itself is bad. See my last post here: https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/infotainment-commander-knob-will-no-longer-toggle-2016-cx-5.123873348/

You might also want to make sure there's no oil leaks around the timing cover or oil pan. It's a minor annoyance at worst but the drive line is IMO solid. Also, look at the engine belt tensioner.

I have the same problem, usually shows up in warmer weather. I used to have the "beep" function enabled but turned it off. Thing sounds like a telephone sometimes when it makes it random jumps. I think somewhere on here some one has a procedure for fixing this, involves removing the screen to do...

2016 is a good year, IMO. Good engine/trans combo, reliable power train. Had to have my rear calipers replaced as well for the defective EPB problem for which the parking brake would bind up and not release. You might want to opt for a 2015 as well, they didn't have the EPB. Great gas mileage.

Good to know, mine seems to have fixed itself.

Some oil companies advertise a higher additive pack with their premium fuels like Shell and Exxon/Mobile. https://www.shell.us/motorist/shell-fuels/shell-v-power-nitro-plus-premium-gasoline.html

Seems to be a popular topic these days.

I know there's one or two items in here that nobody does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsozrTXfHoc

Car is in the shop today, hopefully he over quoted like he usually does. I also go with OEM when possible, particularly when it comes to suspension. Brakes gets a mix with aftermarket and OEM. I just replaced a front brake hose last week and it cost almost $45, dealer price with a 15% discount...

Garages don't figure it the way you did. For example, one Mavis tire dealer broke it down this way, $214 per LCA, discounted from $315, labor and wheel alignment coming out to $875. State inspection and Emissions would be another $100. Then the state has to get its cut at 6% tax. I checked a few...

Yeah, I don't have a garage, so suspension work I generally don't do. I'll do shocks, brakes and some other light nonsense (plugs, oil changes, a timing belt or two). These guys have had a stellar rep for years. Still way cheaper than a dealer. I've had a few cars for many years longer than I've...
