When driving in the mountains is it ok to let cruise control handle down shifting/braking to keep my speed at the posted 35mph or should I do this manually? On rolling hills around mountains is it more fuel efficient for me to accelerate / decelerate because I can see when a hill is coming and...

Had been on interstate about 30 minutes early morning driving away from the sunrise. Cruise control engaged beautiful morning around 65 degrees. No other cars, could not have asked for a nicer cruise. Suddenly the warning lights come on the dash that you would normally see if say snow/windshield...

Also I just wanted to add the dealership wanted $136 to diagnose the check engine light code before they did any work. So in my mind its stupidity not to have a check battery light. I talked my way out of the diagnosis charge but it seems really wack

ECM Engine Off Timer. Intermediate issues with check engine light coming on. At first dealership thought the gas cap might be loose. 4 weeks later, 5 phone calls and 2 visits to dealership turns out the battery was in the red. Battery replaced issue solved. I do have a question though. If...

Bought it brand spanking new with 10 miles on it what a peice of garbage. Have to go chasing all over to figure out how to fix it.

I paid 30 grand for this thing. It has 13k of miles. Door locks are whining the wheel is making a clicking noise. No idea whts that about. Recorded the sounds on iphone summarly dismssed. Yea need a new dealer but I should not have to pay 30 grand for a product that has got all these problems. I...

If it happens again tell her to look around for bird seed. Very old school way to prank someone throw birdseed on the car.

Remember back in the day when every week there was a posting about the weakness of Mazda glass. Apparently it seems other manufacturers are having the same issue. Kia and Subaru have been catching a lot of heat lately7 https://news.yahoo.com/kia-telluride-subaru-forester-owners-153600822.html

Can someone clarify where the "Flexible oil change interval" setting is? My experience is that when I go in for service the service personnel set the miles and time period until the *Oil change due* alert goes off. If I ask for schedule 2 maintenance they set the app to go off after 6 mo or...

The passenger side airbag is always off when nothing is in the passenger seat. This is the way it is designed per the manual. I suspect it is designed this way so if your airbags must deploy and no one is in the passenger seat you dont have to pay to have that airbag replaced.

Actually I did some more research on the genuine mazda cargo net. The instructions specify that the cargo net should not be used to secure loads of more than 30 lbs "WARNING: OBJECT(S) RESTRAINED NOT TO EXCEED 30 lbs. (13.6 kg)" So I guess Im back to the question of how you would per owners...

Fair enough. I too have a OEM cargo net but would be hard pressed to get 2 65L packs under it unless there is some adjustment on the net I am missing. Could always try and rig up something with paracord.

How is that accomplished? Its straight out of the manual. I usually just throw my backpacks and gear into the back and go. The four anchor points in the back seem like they would not be much help securing 50 lbs of gear since they only support 20 kilograms of force. I might be wrong but it...

How to tell when sales is lying? My sales person said they would upgrade my 2017 for free when Apple Car Play came out in late 2017. Needless to say CP did not come out in 2017 & they are not offering me the upgrade for free. How do you tell when a salesperson is lying? When they open there...

They listed it a "Under Warranty" and the price was right $0. Im guessing as long as its under 3 year warranty? Had schedule 2 maintenance, state inspection sticker and tires rotated. Dealership had me out of there in 1.5 hours. Scheduling the appointment was a bit of a trick. All of them were...

First change. Car purchased with 1 mile on it. Over the course of 11 mo's did around 4,000 miles.

Thanks will reset. Only reason I ask is have heard Moly breaks down over time. I have a hard time reconciling maintience every 5 months if Ive only put 2k mileage. I drive it every day but Im not a road warrior.

I took my car to dealership for maintenance today & needed inspection sticker. Its 2017 11 months old with 4,000 miles. Noticed when they reset my dash maintenance alert set it to 5 months or 5,000 miles. REALLY? In 5 months it will only have 2,000 more miles on it. Is this really necessary or...

Took my 2017 in for service today to a dealer work order says "update 59.00.446, 59.00.545A" 1. None of my custom settings on infotainment system/car seem to have changed. Is this normal? 2. Anybody know if there are any surprises in this update I should be aware of? Thanks
