Hello Everyone. This issue is for a 2010 Mazda 5 Sport/automatic/215,xxx miles. A couple nights ago I drove the car to take my son to work. On the way home I stopped to get gas. When I started the car to leave the gas station, the lights came on and did not go out. On the way out a few hours...

Anyone ever use this specific replacement cooler from Rock Auto? If so, what has been your experience?

It's funny. The car threw its first CEL today since I bought it new back in 2010. 9 years AND 176,XXX miles later, it threw a P2177. Consensus seems to be clean or replace MAF sensor, so I'll give it a whirl. Best car ever.

It's been quite a while since I last posted, but as the thread title says...yeah..time for it. My 2010 (aka The Tour Bus) now has 164,xxx miles and after much thought, she'll stay in the family. It MAY go to my son or I'll keep it and get him something. Anyway, since this thread here, clunkng is...

The first thing to break on the "tour bus" other than when I was wrecked, has happened. The driver's side door handle has broken...kind of.. If the car locked and I use the remote to unlock it, 90% of the time, I cannot open my door. If I use the KEY to unlock the door, I can always open it. The...

Hi there. Anyone experienced minor fluctuations in temperature when using the A/C? It doesn't go from cold to completely warm, and "seems" to coincide with the compressor cycle. I say seem because I haven't had time to test at home...been on the road... Never had an issue before. My "tour bus"...

Sorry Guys.. Wrong section!! Can I delete or move? If not, can a Mod please help me out? On the way back home on I95, I was unable to avoid a piece of carpet that was thrown up by the vehicle in front and it caused this damage. I've always wanted a mesh type grill for the car so now may be the...

Just did first plug change at 95290 miles. Here are the old ones. Just a reminder of the roots of this engine as well.. Replaced with Denso ITV16TT plugs..

Hi. Does anyone have a write up on how to change the sway bar bushings on the front of the Mazda 5 (2010). I've been searching and have yet to find one. I've got the clunk that happens in the morning, then goes away within a few miles. I don't think the TSB covers the 2010's and it did not come...

Getting ready for a long road trip tomorrow. Rotated tires on Saturday, but could not find my torque wrench or breaker bar..so I used my impact wrench (electric) to get the wheels off. Ended up ruining the wheel lock key in the process. There are 5 auto-parts stores in my area (four of which are...

Anyone seen this yet? I don't think any translation is really needed (lol2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU4paH8qcQ8

Has anyone used the recycled oil products like the Valvoline NextGen oils? thoughts?

I've done several years of racing/HPDE/Decisive Driving instruction and got involved this year in a new program for teen drivers. At our second event, I took the 5 out on the course to see what it felt like. While the course is designed for relatively slow speeds with slaloms, lane changes and...

Has anyone ever put these on a Sport? Remember the Sports don't have them stock..

sigh...I was backing out of a parking space carefully, more than halfway out and start to turn..CRUNCH..some woman hits me..she gets a scratch, I get a messed up bumper AND the cop says it's my fault..

Accidentally spilled some juice and some got into the Cancel button for the CC. Now it's sticky then frees up. Is there a way to remove the cover that covers the buttons for the CC? so I can clean the sticky stuff out?

Couldn't think of a better name for this. Real simple. For those who want to lift the rear wiper blade without having to remove the wiper shaft cover. Basically, there is a tab inside the plastic cover that prevents the wiper from being lifted. Simply remove the tab. I used a knife at first then...

Wifey found a nail in the sidewall today...GRRRR..bought a no name tire (Salem??) from NTB..makes me want to get a street-wide magnet and mount it in front of the car...

Has anyone come across a situation where the trans can't seem to figure out if it needs first or stay in second, hesitates, then grabs first? This seems to happen in slow/stop & go traffic or when coming to stop, but not completely (5mph or less?). It seems to respond better (somewhat) if...
