- 2014 Mazda CX-5 GT AWD
Hello All,*
I am brand new to the forum. I own a 2014 Mazda CX-5 GT AWD that I purchased CPO in May 2017. At the end of August 2017 I started having an issue with the passenger side BSM sensor throwing off constant false alerts during the night, very cloudy and rainy days while driving on the highway. It is only the passenger side when in the normal driving lane. The drivers side when in the passing lane never had an issue. Its when I am passing guard rails, highway barriers or signs. Ive taken my car to many different dealerships and none would drive it at night. Finally one did and they were able to duplicate my concerns. They are now telling me that this is normal. If this is normal, why didnt it do it for thousands upon thousands of miles when I first got the car? Why does none of the Mazda service loaners that Ive had do it? Why is it only the passenger side and not the driver side? Ive asked about calibration and they say there is no way to do that. Is this really normal? What are others opinions with CX-5s BSM systems? Im not talking about 1 or 2 false alerts, when driving for an hour it can be up to 30-40 false alerts while on the highway. While getting off exits the car will beep, flash and startle me in the process. I have videos of the events, but Im not sure*how to share that on here. Id greatly appreciate any feedback. Im wondering if there is a way to fix this once and for all, or if it is seriously normal?
Thank You
