Had my car serviced yesterday and the tech dented the lower plastic hood (I guess Mazda calls this the upper molding - KL2F-50-7E1-BB - https://www.realmazdaparts.com/oem-parts/mazda-upper-molding-kl2f507e1bb). They didn't charge me for my service and offered to have it fixed. My question. I...

Last update. I ended up working out a trade-in and swapping it for another 2019 CX-5 Signature. Car actually came off the truck today and I drove it home tonight. The dealer ended up being great to work with. For as annoying/bad of a situation as it was, they made it right.

I figured I'd provide a quick update. I decided to go with the paint option. The dealer had my car for about 10 days. The body shop was able to buff the fenders, however the hood and bumper had deep enough cuts that they had to be repainted. The outcome was pretty good. There were one or two...

Thanks Young-nyc, you're correct. I am leaning towards option #2 (repair and paint). Original post has been updated. Also, my car is Deep Crystal Blue Mica. Color match is definitely a concern, however as yugrus mentioned, I'm also worried about fit/alignment. Also, to clarify, the hood...

I recently had a dealer installed ClearBra added to my new CX-5. Unfortunately, the system they use for computer-cut film templates wasn't working, so it was hand trimmed on the car. If I had been told this was the plan ahead of time, I would've said no. Anyways, the installer was a little...

I stopped by the dealership this morning and had the service manager take a look. He said, "Oh yeah, that's definitely not right. I would want that fixed too if it were my car." He agreed that it was probably just a misalignment on the display, however the repair would be to replace the whole...

Thank you for the responses. Yes. It is still visible after turning down the brightness. I turned off other lights and tried to capture the angle from my point of view. Max Gauge brightness: Brightness at night setting: I will check other cars the next time I*m at the dealership, but...

Yes, turning down the brightness on the dash definitely helps, however it*s still noticble. As far as first world problems, you*re right. However, as jmhumr mentioned, for 35k+, I was expecting a little more. I also have some light leakage on the infotainment screen, but I think I can live...

I noticed the other night there's some small light leakage from right under the temperature number on the HVAC controls. It's only on the driver's side and only extends an inch or two. I understand this is merely cosmetic, but did catch my eye. I wish I would've noticed it on the test drive...

So, for kicks and giggles, I took a closer look at the wheels of my wife's 2015 Toyota Sienna. It's still running factory wheels and tires. Holy cow. Every wheel had a massive amount of weights attached. And not just 5 gram weights, in multiple cases there were 75 gram weights used. The worst...

Sorry to revive a crazy OLD thread, but I just picked up a 2019 CX-5 and one of the wheels has 20 wheel weights on it. I'm assuming most of you have since replaced tires (and maybe wheels?). I'm just curious what the long term outcome was here.

Hmmm. Looks like this is somewhat common; especially with 19" wheels. https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123827163-Wheel-weights

Thanks for the replies. It sounds like the weight is due solely to the tire. I was just concerned that it may indicate a potential problem with the wheel itself. If it's just the tire, I feel a bit better. I've owned a few cars and am obviously familiar with wheel weights, it just seemed like a...

I just picked up a new 2019 CX-5 Signature last night. I didn't notice until this morning that one wheel has 20x "5" wheel weights on it. I'm guessing these are 5 grams, meaning its ~3.5 ounces. That seems excessive to me from the factory. The other 3 wheels range from 0-5 weights on them. Is...

Hmmm. Not the case in Utah. The Signature I bought was delivered to the dealership on 12/14 and hadn't even been test driven. Each of the 3-4 dealerships in driving distance have 2-3 signatures currently on hand.

Just picked up a 2019 Signature in Deep Crystal Blue Mica. MSRP (including destination charge): $37,885 Sale Price: $36,148 Trade: $5544.64 Tax/Title/Accessories/Fees: $4373.64 OTD: $34,977 Unfortunately the only discount I qualified for was the $500 rebate, but I'm pretty happy with the sales...
