If a buy a new set of wheels for my 2025 CX-5. Does it need any reprogramming in the car for the new set of sensors? I was asking for a quote in a dealership and a charge for this is included. Local tire shop don't have it. Wondering if it's really needed.

Just picked up a 2015 Mazda5 with 150k miles, it was a one-owner vehicle serviced by a Mazda dealership its whole life. It's a southern car with no rust. Overall it seems well maintained, but the brakes feel sus to me. On the first press, I get a little hint of braking early, but have to push to about 1" from the floor before the brakes really grab. Once there, the pedal is firm and does not keep sinking. If I release and press again immediately, the pedal comes up much higher and firms... Read more

Hi! I have a 2024 CX5 2.5 S SE AWD with barely 20k miles. Two times this week I had an issue when changing gears. First time I was reversing and attempted to switch back to drive. The gear shifted however the car was not moving forward and the engine light came on. I changed it back to reverse but the speed wouldn’t change, it was acting like it was in neutral just slowly moving back. I had to shift gear to park and turn off and on the car for it to resolve. Second time it happened it was in... Read more

Wondering if the sucker hose would even get down far enough to pull out the typical drain and fill 3 1/2 qts or so. Sounds, in theory, a lot easier than crawling underneath, taking of the shield etc.

I have a 2021 CX-30 and noticed that when the sun hits the upper door panel (black), vertical ripples or bumps can be seen. I checked and all four doors have this. Has anyone else experienced this? Seems like a fairly significant quality control issue.

Hello all - need your thoughts. After a check-engine light, I'm told my 2019 CX-9 with 112,000 miles needs a new cat and both O2 sensors. Big bucks. Independent mechanic who services my car (very reputable) says new cats can fail at 100-125k. All that said - I had the cylinder head replaced back in 2021 at 35,000 miles due to the famous problem. I've had no issues regarding that repair that I know of. Now however, I'm wondering. To me 112,000 miles is too early for a cat to fail. I'd had... Read more

Hi everyone, New member here. I’m looking to replace the infotainment system in my 2021 CX‑5 Akira (Australia model, with 360° camera and Bose speakers, factory‑fitted 10.25" screen) with a newer unit from a 2024 CX‑5 GT SP (also with Bose, but without the 360° camera). Both units are from EU region. My main goal is to get a touchscreen and factory wireless CarPlay. I’ve found a used infotainment system (screen + head unit) on eBay for a good price, and from what I can see, the... Read more

Long story short, i got a couple holes burnt in the exhaust valves on cylinder 1. I just had an engine rebuild kit done last year which included sending the head to a machine shop, so theoretically the head itself is not too beat up. My question is, can I, as an novice, pull the head and install new valves? I have only ever done small, easy to fix problems on my car up to this point, the most involved item would be replacing my throttle body gasket. Due to lifes little surprises, my... Read more

You did retrofit, or you want change something - you need reconfigure your CMU - now it can be done remotely ! Fully remotely... Read more

2018 CX5, great vehicle, no major isdues ever- just maintenance etc. It started having a little "hesitation or stutter" when accelerating. My regular mechanic says it is the PCM needs reprogramming(there was a service bulletin on it) took it to Mazda dealer an hour away from me where I bought it. Reprogrammed PCM . Doing the same thing the next day. Mazda says they will have to "diagnose" it now. Second trip over - 2 hours later- they drove it and said bring back and leave all day to... Read more

For 26k I can get a 2024 CX-30 AWD at 40k miles 65k kilometres with the European 2.5NA 191hp engine or 2023 EQA300 4MATIC but at 60k miles/100k km. The EQA is expected to be more quiet/stable on the highway at 75mph but is it really better. The badge says it should be but if Mazda is outperforming expectations and Mercedes is underperforming can they meet in the middle in noise/stability on the highway. The car will be driven 90% on the highway and will stay in the garage 2-3 weeks at a... Read more

2016 CX-3 Grand Touring AWD, 2.0 SKYACTIV-G, ~103,800 miles. Original O2 sensors, no exhaust work ever, no PCM reflash in its history. It passed California smog in June 2026 on this same sensor and calibration. Oct 6 the battery was replaced and readiness wiped. Since then every monitor has completed EXCEPT the oxygen sensor monitor. No DTCs at any point — none stored, none pending. What the data shows: - In-use performance tracking: SO2S encounters 36, SO2S completions 0. Ignition cycles... Read more

Two-row Mazda CX-90 replaces CX-70 in U.S., but not Canada The Japanese automaker is paring back its midsize SUV lineup Stateside by nixing one nameplate and expanding the seating options on another driving.ca Mazda will discontinue the CX-70 in the United States for the 2027 model year, replacing it with two-row versions of the CX-90 . The larger SUV will continue in three-row form, too, giving buyers a choice of seating layouts within one model line. We’ve reached out to Mazda Canada for confirmation a similar change will take place in our market, and are awaiting a... Click to expand... Re…

Here are the ridiculous instructions for disabling the 2013 Mazda CX-5 Daytime Running Lights. This is no longer done through the diagnostic computer. Timing for the procedure is critical. If you miss a step, the procedure will fail and you will have to start over. The tech at my dealership could not get the procedure to work. The service manager and I did get it to work, but it took several tries. I think the tech was pushing the hazard switch on and off 10 times, not 5 (he was... Read more

Just bought this a couple weeks ago. I assumed it had heated sideview mirrors. Just found out it doesn't. Here in New England it's a good thing to have. Just wondering if this can be upgraded?

Is there a grille available that would cover the lower opening that’s exposed? Saw some that are small two piece to be used on sides of license plate holder but I don’t use one so looking for full coverage, one piece grille to protect the entire opening.

Which cover do yall recommend? We do get snow and ice here in north Texas. Not nearly as much as you northerners.

Hey everyone, Looking for some advice on an issue I’ve been having with my 2017 CX-5 AWD Grand Touring (90K miles). The car is in great shape—regular oil changes, new brake pads and rotors, new tires, new battery, etc. I live in Maine, and with the cold weather lately, I’ve noticed that the button on my gear shifter sometimes gets stuck in the depressed position, and I can’t get it to release. When this happens: The shifter moves freely with very little pressure. If the car is on... Read more

I'd like to replace the factory rearview mirror in my 2020 CX-5. I haven't seen a video for the 2020 model. Is there one somewhere? Thanks.

I’m always looking for the plastic pieces to the luggage rack at junkyards. Has anyone tried having these pieces 3D printed? If so is it possible to share the file?

I did something I wouldn't typically do yesterday. I took a 230,000 mile car to the dealer for service. We bought the 2016 CX9 with 200k miles (highway miles, he was a traveling salesman) in 2021, and have only done oil changes since. Due to my deferring maintenance the front rotors were heavily grooved. Our local Mazda dealer's service department is not crazy expensive (we bought our 2021 CX5 new from them so I am familiar with the service dept) so I took the CX9 in for front rotors... Read more
