    A/C compressor broken

    Hi everyone, Went to local mechanic today, he confirmed the compressor is shot. Unfortunate since the car is 4 years old, but this stuff happens. Price $300 cheaper at local mechanic so I'm going with them.

    A/C compressor broken

    Thank you everybody for your input. I'm taking it to my local mechanic on Monday and I'll report back. If this does, hopefully, end up being a fuse or something relatively minor do you think I have reason to complain to Mazda about an incomplete evaluation that would have cost me a significant...

    A/C compressor broken

    Hi everyone, I have a 2014 Cx 5 with 80K miles. My air conditioner hasn't been blowing cold for a while. I took it to the local Mazda dealer and they checked the system: performed leak test with dye and passed, no leak was found. They told me the A/C compressor was not engaging. I was given...

    Wheel alignment issues

    Thank you everyone for the input. Just want to clarify that I do need to apply a counterclockwise force to the steering wheel or else I veer to the right. Someone asked about the type of tire: Continental True Contact Eco Plus. They're brand new but I guess one of them could be made poorly...

    Wheel alignment issues

    I have a 2014 CX5 and just needed new tires at 70K miles. I had them replaced at an independent shop I've used for years that is always reliable. Car would drive absolutely perfectly prior to the new tires, straight as can be without any pull. After the new tires were put on they said they...

    Center console rattle

    Great. I'll try that later and report back. Yesterday I had to unzip the driver seat and put some padding over the rod that runs across the lumbar area. Lots of random rattles in this car. Mechanically excellent and great performance though!

    Center console rattle

    Did you have to take the console apart or anything? Or just wedge some carpet up there from floor or from the top?

    Center console rattle

    Hi everyone, I have a question about my 2014 CX5. I've heard an annoying rattle/clicking around the gear select lever that seems to go away if I wedge my hand between the passenger seat and gear box. This seems to apply a pressure on the center console that eliminates the noise. I have a...

    Passenger door rattle

    Thanks for the input guys. I did a little more investigating yesterday on my way home from work. I tried to grab the seatbelt and pull the tag to a different position and see if that eliminated the noise. Well, it didn't work, but what I did notice that when I accidentally hit the seat the...

    CX5 defrost mode and AC light

    You guys have been incredibly helpful. A temperature cut off for ac mode on or off makes sense.

    Passenger door rattle

    Hey everyone, I've noticed the following problem within a couple weeks of buying the 2014 CX5. I first bought the car during summer months and on very warm days, 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit, I hear a rattle from the passenger front door. It almost sounds like a metal wire vibrating within the...

    CX5 defrost mode and AC light

    Hi everyone, This is my first post on this forum and I'm excited to become involved in the community. When I first got the 2014 CX5 back in June of this year the AC light would come on each time I had the car in either pure defrost mode or defrost and feet vent (just like the manual says it...
