Hi, thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking for an independent Mechanic in my area (Hartford, CT) for years but cannot find one that is solid.

Update - check engine light came on again on 9/23. I took it in, and this time the check engine light was solid as opposed to blinking. Now the dealership says its the mass air flow sensor and they are charging me $287 to fix (parts+labor).

Conrad - that's interesting. The check engine light was flashing and the car was bucking when it would change gears. After the dealership claimed they did the update though, everything is working normally.

Okay - so Mazda learns of a problem, and releases an update or a "patch" to fix it, sort of like software programs? Is there a website where I can check my VIN against a database of these things? Thanks!

So here is what the Mazda dealer said. They only charged me $99 + Uncle Sam... "Verified Customer Concern Check Engine Light is On with code P061B- Internal Control Module Torque Calculation Performance. Looking at this code on MGSS I found TSB 01-010/19. Reading through TSB and confirming...

I will find out when I pick it up this afternoon. Just wanted to go in prepared to ask some intelligent questions. Thank you!

Hi there, My check engine light came on last night and the car (Mazda cx-5 2013) was having trouble shifting gears and it started bucking. I had it towed to my repair shop (Mazda dealer) and they diagnosed it for $130. The repair man told me "the control module had to be updated" and that all...

Thanks!

Thank you. Thanks! My 2013 CX-5 Grand Touring is at 150k already. I opted to do this Coolant and and EFI on the throttle body. Brake fluid will be my next task.

Hi, Just took my car in for a routine oil change/tire rotation and my dealership is recommending: -Brake Fluid Flush (says its dirty) -Coolant Flush (says its dirty and low) -Rear Differential Fluid Flush Which would be the most important? Should I do them all? I thought these fluids were...

Hi, Ive been really struggling to find a reliable shop for my CX-5 in Connecticut. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

I had my spark plugs changed at the Hartford, CT Mazda dealership 3 weeks ago. There were no symptoms, but they kept suggesting it at oil change appts. My CX5 has 140k miles on it, so I thought what the heck, Ill have them change the plugs. And they did. Fast forward 3 weeks and Im driving to...

Hey, Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the 2013 CX-5 Grand Touring Shop Manual? I have the owner's manual, but I'm looking for a shop manual like the one's that a dealer would have. It's much more extensive and has detailed descriptions of how to perform maintenance. Does this even...

Thank you everyone. I will check the manual.

Hey I'm about to change my oil on the Cx-5 grand touring edition. Is there any sort of sensor/indicator light I have to reset? Also does anyone know if this car had indicator lights that go off when your scheduled maintenance is due? Thanks!!

Thanks.

This may seem like a dumb question, but it's coming from a guy who used to own a Jetta. Does the 2013 CX-5 Grand Touring have a trunk hatch release lever by the driver seat or is it only able to be opened by someone pressing the button on the trunk door? Thanks!

How often do you change the transfer oil and differential oil? Thanks.

Do you do the oil changes on the transfer and the diff, and the transmission fluid exchange yourself or do you have a shop that does this for a decent price? Also how often do you do the transfer and diff oil?

Thanks! Missed that part.
