    Strange electrical issue

    Hi, I have a 2012 Mazda3 with the 2.5l engine. We were driving along for about 15 minutes and the interior light suddenly turned on and then faded out like it does when you shut off the car and get out. About 10 minutes later we slowed down in traffic to nearly a stop and as we accelerated...

    Check engine light but no codes

    Over a period of about two months my 2013 CX-5 has had the check engine light come on but not had any codes stored twice. The light stays on until I disconnect the battery. I didn't know it was possible for it to light without a code. Has anyone else run into this?

    keyless range

    Our keyless remotes have never had very good range. Neither remote (even with new batteries) will work much past about 10 feet. Is that normal? Any way to improve it?

    not as impressed with Mazdas 'initial quality' as I used to be

    Our old Protege5 was pretty much free of little annoyances, especially early on. But so far my CX5 has had the seat leather come loose from the drivers seat at the front and the hood latch wasn't adjusted properly causing the hood to rattle at the front. My wifes Mazda3 (9 months old) had a...

    The front part of the bottom seat leather has come loose. It has plastic clips. Two about 4 inches long but I can't see what or how they hook. I know..... Take it to the dealer. I'd prefer to avoid the hassle of time off of work or spending my Saturday driving an hour to the one that is open

    what other car(s) did you consider?

    When you were shopping, which other cars made the running? We test drove: Buick Verano - needed a backup camera and lacked any 'wow' factor GMC Terrain (rented) - a bit louder, but smoother ride, not as good of mpg and could never find the trim/color/options combo we wanted. More...

    All I want is something that honks the horn if a door is opened, that I can install myself and that uses the factory remote. Is there anything the anyone has first hand experience with that they can recommend? I wish Mazda USA had an option for it. The Mazda one I added to our Protege5...

    Grand Touring vs Touring Ride

    Anyone compared the way the CX5 feels on the 17" and 19" wheels? The shorter sidewall should make the imperfections in the road more noticeable, I'm just not sure by how much? My dealer has a GT setup the way I want it but I was waiting for a Touring to stay with the 17" wheels.

    we are looking at getting my wife a 2012 Mazda3 Hatchback to replace her 2002 P5 (i'd get it) and I've run into a few questions. #1 the dealer said they are getting special deal on the first batch of 2012's because they don't have all the 'technology' that the 2012's were supposed to have...
