Yup. Just started to experience the same problem on squeaky noises under the rear left seat near towards door.
Have been driving it for a couple of months. Noises started about a week ago
Definitely not the leather. Sounds like some metal hinge or spring.
Will share if I get a proper diagnosis soon.
I feel you. That's why we got our CX-5 from an old fashioned Mazda dealer who provides decent service although it's selling price was not the lowest. I'd call or email Mazda Customer Experience Center explaining the situation and find another dealer for service. BTW, turn on your oil life monitor and use Schedule 1 Flexible Maintenance Schedule for your oil change. Don't stick with fixed 5K OCI.Well, took in in for 5000 mile service yesterday and also requested they took a look at the seat issue. Well, they pretty much blew me off, did'nt ever note it on the service ticket. This on top of them telling me they did updat the infotainment software and when I got home discovering the did'nt. Not a happy camper right now
