CPO inspections are only as good as the guy doing the inspection. 160 inspection points! Right.. That being said, I wouldn't get too upset over this, could be something as simple as maybe a wheel weight falling off and a tire being out of balance.
You looked at the cx5 in Georgia? I did look at the tires. They look great but since I couldn't get "up to speed" in Roswell, Georgia I didn't know. One would hope the 160 point inspection would find such. I was told they were Korean. I just want the shaking to stop. Not saying I am going to leave negative feedback for them. I am however frustrated by this.
I trusted the dealer. CPO made me feel safer, like they went over it in great detail. I haven't had good luck buying from dealers ever. Most seem to lie and try to take as much money from you as possible. I have been lied to more times than I likely know by dealers. I felt this dealership treated me nice but they messed up on the tire thing. Everything else is great and we love it
haha the same model, same year, same shake.... but in michigan. They dont do the inspection. I guarantee the sales manager drives the car around the block if no idiot lights come on its given a quick cleaning and put on the lot. I had the salesman send the one i was looking at over to the service dept twice for wheel balancing. Both times it did not correct it. Sometimes you just gotta walk away.
Mirror vibration is a known issue many of us including myself have.I have managed to get them to do a road force balance for free. They found little wrong I was told. They then called Mazda corporate and had them give me a brand new set of tires. It feels much smoother now.
However, it's been 2 weeks and we took a long freeway trip yesterday. I still can see the mirrors physically shake at 70mph even on new pavement. I can also at times take my hands off the wheel and it shakes. If I rest my legs on the vehicle I feel a lot of vibration.
At this point I am not sure if something else is wrong or if this cx5 is simply not smooth. Are they just a bit rough no matter the pavement?
It's not horrible but I am confused why I feel any vibrations on brand new pavement that I do not feel in my other vehicles.
I love the cx5. It handles very nice and the cabin feels large. Are they just rough riding vehichles.
Sumimoto is related to Falken Goodyear and Dunlop in some way. So not crap. You should have seen what tires were before purchasing. CPO can be serviced in any Mazda dealer. Hurry up as you have less time left.
Supposedly the head manager took it for a ride after they put new tires on it. The mirrors vibrations do not bother me as bad as the feeling of vibration in the wheel and panels. At this point what should I ask of them? The dealer is determined to charge me the $110 fee to look the car over should it be anything not on the list of CPO covered items.
Yes, it's now owned by the Acura and Infiniti place. Bradshaw bought them. I swear it feels like a wobble and not a bump bump. So even on smooth road it's like being on a motorcycle. It's better than it was but something is off.
If the wheel is bent, tire balance should catch it, especially a road force balance OP's dealer has done.If they balanced the wheels and tires and you're still getting this level of vibration I wonder if a wheel is bent. All it takes is a solid hit on a pothole at speed.
I noticed the OE Mazda 19" wheels on my 6 Touring were made in China. I can only assume the CX's wheels come from the same mfr. Personally, I have my doubts about the durability of Chinese alloy.
If you've got a set of new tires and road-force balanced them, they can't be the source of your vibration.I have managed to get them to do a road force balance for free.

Chinese alloy wheels can be high quality. It all depends on how much you're willing to pay. If Mazda pays cheap, it gets low quality 19" wheels. All the expensive and "high-quality" iPhones and iPads from Apple are made in China!
