New to this forum. Bought the CX 5 last November and I am generally happy with the vehicle. I know the car idles high for about 30 secs with initial startup, but mine does something a little more when I back out of my driveway. I put it in reverse, back up out of the garage, apply brake, and that is when the vehicle shudders loudly. I then put it in drive, then back to reverse, and the shuddering is gone. The car drives normally for the rest of the day. I took it to the dealer and they were able to reproduce it at cold startup, but they say they were able to do the same on 3 more CX 5's on the lot. The tech says since it is common, that all they can do is send a technical report to mazda, and that there is no current fix. Anyone else have this vibration in reverse gear with brakes applied at cold startup?
Just to add, when I picked up my car, the service manager took me in a demo and reproduced the sound. He drove in reverse at high speed, then slammed on the brakes. Low and behold, the loud shuddering. He says because there is high torque it may be causing the vibration, but he will contact mazda with my concerns.
