    LOL! I can see where your CX-5 would be a lot more dependable than your Jeep with the HEMI in it. I could vision you working on that thing on your weekends.

    We purchased it initially because we live in the country and placed our cooler in the back when we purchased groceries. We also have a Toyota 4 runner that will take the Mazda's place in that regard. To be fair minded, the Mazda really did work for us for three years, but I don't regret trading...

    Hi All, Thanks for the responses. I replaced the factory tires and rims and unplugged the battery for a couple of minutes. This did not resolve the problem. However, driving it over to the KIA dealership and trading it in for a new KIA Optima SX Turbo did take care of the problem. There is no...

    Thank you guys for your responses! My new tire size is 235/65/17. I have checked two fuse boxes, one underneath the hood and one on the driver's side kick panel.

    Has anyone else had problems with their "BSM" system. Mine does not work and I am out of my warranty period. I recently change tires and rims from 19 inch to 17 inch. A question for you Mazda mechanics out there; will the different tire size make a difference to the "BSM" system? Thanks.

    Displeased with mileage

    I average 25.6 mpg and drive 95 % highway miles. I drive around 70 mph to 75 mph with some hilly areas. Of course, if I slowed down I would get better gas mileage.

    High Mileage CX-5s - report in

    I have pressed and pressed and held the "BSM OFF" switch with negative results. I am thinking it the problem is with one of the sensors. However, I did switch to 17 inch rims and tires and that may make a difference due to height change. I will take it to the local dealership and see what they...

    High Mileage CX-5s - report in

    I own the 2014 Grand Touring with the 2.5l engine and have approximately 43000 miles on the odometer. I had to change the factory tires at 20000 miles. I drive 95% highway miles and the premature wear of the tires could be because of the gravel based roads in east Texas. I currently have the...

    Isn't that the stupidest thing NOT to have in a GPS unit. Come on Tom Tom add that to your weak GPS units. I wish I could swap out Tom Tom with my Garmin unit.

    Hardwiring a Valentine 1

    Actually, I installed a Passport 9800i with a visor mount and wired it to the auto compass/Homelink mirror. The only problem so far is I have to turn it on and off manually for it to operate. I am going to do some research for a wiring schematic for the mirror.
