Thanks all for the suggestions. I thoroughly mixed the OEM touch up pen for 1 minute according to the directions and was very carefully in applying the paint, but both times they become much more noticeable. They may get a bit darker when it's dry but I'm afraid to try it to avoid any permanent...

Got my first dose of rock chips the other day on the freeway. Suspect the car next to me kicked up some rocks and heard something hit the side of my car, and not surprisingly, found 3 rock chips (deep) on the side of my door. The largest chip is the size of an ant, and the smaller ones are the...

Be careful though because that's what my dealer did at first. The noise was gone so they said "well, it's normal noise from the roof rail due to aerodynamics". I insisted that it wasn't normal and took out a brand new cx-5 w/roof rails on the lot for a drive, which not surprisingly didn't make...

I had a similar whistling noise, turns out it was a defective roof rail that was replaced by the dealer. A simple test - put some painting tape on the part that joins the head and body of the roof rail (there's a small gap). Turned out my passenger roof rail was making that noise and was...

Well, looks like I’m not the only one with the roof rail whistling issue! After my transmission job was done (separate story), I was leaving the dealership and noticed the whistling sound. Went back right away and the technician confirmed it’s wind noise. Advisor suspected it’s the roof rail, so...

It had 8 miles on it when I took it out for a test drive. My sales guy said Im the first potential owner to drive it - still had all the wraps inside and the car was parked in their overflow lot that took a while to get it moved for the test drive.

My brand new cx5 was out of alignment and pulls to the side on the freeway. Went back to my purchasing dealership and realigned it free of charge. I suppose you can go to any dealership but your own dealer will probably take you more seriously as the other ones can say you hit a pot hole (in my...

Congrats! I, too, feel the new CX5 to be German like. Had a new BMW X3 rental for a week earlier this year and I can say our cx5 is very comparable in all aspects, especially the handling.

Unfortunately, I don't have a recording. It's a high pitch and constant whistle sound (not whining like the CVTs).

I assume I will have some type of reference number once I pick up the car at the dealership, and will definitely be contacting Mazda USA for extended warranty. Don't expect the dealer to fork out anything.

Thanks all for your responses. I still have some faith in Mazda and my particular car, and hope this is just a random occurrence. Still intend to keep this car for a long time unless more issues come up over the next couple of years. I will update this thread when/if I learn more about my repair...

Just saw more responses on the 2nd page. I can provide more details when I get the car back. I think it's too pre-mature to go through the lawsuit/lemon route, but will keep that in mind if the problem persists/comes back. I am going to contact Mazda corporate to ask for an extended warranty...

Mine was definitely very noticeable as soon as we reach 40 mph. When we went out for the test drive with the tech, I asked him if there is route he prefers to get it up to 40 mph, and he just said let's get on the freeway. We reached 40 mph within 2 blocks and he immediately heard the noise and...

I know there is a separate thread on a transmission-related whistling sound, but thought I'd create another thread to inform others and help us track the various transmission issues reported by this community. In a nutshell, noticed my brand new car having a high pitch whistling sound at 40+...

Looks like I can contribute to a (rare?) case of transmission-related high pitch noise for my 2017 AWD CX-5. I had a separate thread (https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123862808-Hissing-noise-at-40-mph-for-2017-CX-5) on my noise issue, and just got the update from the dealer that...

UPDATE - transmission replacement needed My dealer called and gave me the update. They brought the car up to speed on the jack and identified the high pitch whistling noise to be coming from the transmission. My adviser said their head tech had Mazda corporate on the phone while troubleshooting...

PM me if you want more details and I can check with my sales guy.
