- 2017 CX5 GT
I have a 2017 CX5 GT FWD now at 5k miles, I started to notice a vibrating sound / bad note when the cx5 is warmed up all the way, at a stop with break applied, with A/C off. The engine slowly drops to about 550 RPMs and the sound comes out from around center dash or firewall, sounds like its deep inside. I took it to dealer last Friday and requested to drive with a tech. (I did not want to get a "could not duplicate noise" and tech said he would hear it too)...tech said the rpm drop is normal for sky active engine and they kept it for 5 days.
They said they first thought it was something vibrating inside dash and they took it apart with no success and called their "mazda hotline" and where advised to re-torque #3 engine mount. According to dealer noise went away. IT DID NOT. I have another appointment this monday for round 2..... I expect them to come out with some BS of characteristic of engine....hopefully not but prepared to fight it.
Anyone heard of experience this. A few weeks ago I googled it and found a couple of forums mentioning it for the previous gen CX5 but no one posted a solution for it.
now I'm even thinking it could be a exhaust leak from somewhere in the behind firewall, the engine mount itself, i don't know.....all I know it did not sound like this when It was new. Any ideas or experience would help.
Engine warm, In Drive, A/C off.....if engine is cold then RPM are higher.....In neutral or P, RPMs are around 700, A/C off because compressor keeps RPMs at around 700.
