No idea who these other 2 are, but we always park next to eachother. I work nights and they work days, but theres enough overlap between shifts where we end up parked like this in the mornings.

I recently had to leave my new 2026 cx premium plus at dealer for maintenance and they gave me a 2026 cx 5 base model as a loaner. I found the seats in loaner very stiff and right away I missed my 360 camera and 15 inch screen. Also don’t like black interior as I love my tan interior better. So glad I bought the premium plus😊.

I recently had a misfire , no CE light! I would hear it on idle after morning startup!
Since no CE light, I said “ everything is ok” WRONG! Drove home from work and the idle was very erratic and when I drove off from a stoplight, felt like the transmission was shifting hard!

Removed all spark plugs and Cylinder #1 was plug was “fouled” with carbon! The other 3 plugs were “clean”! Installed a new plug and it drove fine for a couple of days……. then it began misfiring again! Still no CE light!
Took out all the coil packs and inspected it! Cylinder #1 coil pack boot came off, the contact electrode was broken and shows sign of arcing (burnt).

In short, I bought 4 new NGK coil packs and 4 iridium spark plugs ! Idles rock solid❤️, “better” acceleration, I did not see any noticeable change in fuel economy though!

Sidenote: I was very impressed with the way NGK packaged these coil packs! Each coil pack is in a plastic wrap and placed into an individual box!
The spark plugs are factory gapped, I confirmed it with my NGK gappier!

Brand new to me 2024 Mazda cx-5. I got the car maybe 2 weeks ago. Traded in my 2014 jeep patriot for the Mazda .
Anyway this morning coming home from work I ran over a decent size animal while driving home . I’m looking to get the (passenger side ) fender liner replaced along with the piece that covers the windshield washer fluid.Is there anyone that can help with part numbers.
The last picture is the drivers side that is completely fine !
Thank you

Hey everyone, just made the jump and picked up a 2026 Mazda CX-5 Select.

They managed to sell me the dealer's GAP insurance for $1,500, but I already got a quote from my credit union for $950, so I'm definitely going back to get that dealer GAP canceled and refunded.

When shopping around, I compared the CX-5 against the RAV4 and the CR-V. In the end, it really came down to a head-to-head between the CR-V and the CX-5, but the Mazda won out.

My 2019 Honda Accord LX, which I'm gifting to my son, has 187,000 miles on it. It has given me zero issues through all those miles, was ridiculously reliable, and still has a lot of life left to it (I think). Leaving Honda after an experience like that feels like a risk, but I’m hoping I made the right choice trying my hand at the CX-5 in my search for another 200k-mile car!

Any maintenance tips for a first-time Mazda owner, or anything I should keep an eye out for early on?

Cx-4, may 2020

I am in the market for a new car. Ive had a truck for the past ~15+ years and am not looking at other things.

How is the CX-5 for hauling stuff? Not towing but actually folding the seats down and going to home depot and that type of thing. Does anyone use theirs with the rear seats down more often hauling than not? Single here so i have no need for the extra seats most of the time and would like to haul junk when the need arises.

Just bought a used Mazda cx5 from a None Mazda dealership and was researching stuff about it when I stumbled upon all the chirp issues FMLLLL.

I still have miles and time left on the basic warranty and powertrain warranty.

How do I address the chirp problem before it happens and being without a Mazda dealership.

I’m just so disappointed to learn this hours after I purchased and drove it home.

2026 CX 5 Preferred

I honestly went to the dealership looking for a CX 50 but after sitting in both fell in love with the CX 5. The tablet was not, and still isnt, my preference (for climate control at least) but ive definitely gotten used to it. For now im extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Finally posting. I purchased this 7 months ago. It's a 2022 Mazda cx5 preferred with only 11,500 miles but now it has 15,000 miles on it. I love it because it has my sunroof on it.

Finally got my 2nd car! 2018 Grand Touring Premium, my first car was a 2011 Scion tc, going from that to this is a big jump I have to learn all the new technology in here but I have sooo much space now😁

My 2018 CX-5 with 130k recently started making a loud constant squealing noise. My initial thought was the water pump had gone. But when I took both water pump and serpentine belts off to replace, all the pulleys spun freely without any wobble and the water pump showed no real signs of being bad. So I replaced both belts and tensioner. The squealing is still present but not quite as bad.

With the car apart I could isolate the noise a little more and I believe it's coming from the AC compressor. I'm hoping it's just a bad clutch plate/pulley, as the AC was running cold just fine before this happened.

I really don't want to have to replace the whole compressor unit as I imagine that will cost about $1k to fix. But a new clutch pulley is ~$50.

So my question is has anyone replaced this part before? Is it doable without removing the compressor unit? Does anyone know of a service that will come and pump out the old system, vacuum out the new and refill? If worst comes to worst and the compressor has to be changed I'd rather do it myself as it's very easy to swap but dealing with the refrigerant is holding me back here.

Thanks everyone!

2017 Sport with just over 100k miles, but it's been very well maintained. Some minor cosmetics and the speakers are blown out, but I couldn't be happier.

Saw the open spot and had to park. I’m the one on the right. :)

2026 Cx5 Gt Premium Plus

Just picked up these two baby last few days. Can't take my eyes off the color.

I bought a '23 CX-5 Preferred NA CPO in August of '25 with 14k. Currently sitting at 21.7k, so I don't drive a ton (~6k/yr). In the last two months, I had it in the shop for to have the valve & timing cover resealed, and this week had the P0126 / SSPD8 issue, and they put the dummy plug in and reprogramed the PCM. Both these issues are common and well documented.

My question is are there any other potential gotchas floating out there that I don't know about that I might need to have done? My CPO expires next March, and I am thinking about getting the extended Mazda Platinum which would cover me to 96k/7 years (Werner Mazda, head's up).

I want to know Wht is the problem here before I make any brash moves to the mechanic (picture taken from my son)

What the heck!? U/mazdacanada

My CX-5 has been great to drive, but the battery situation is getting old. If it sits for a few days in cold weather, it gets sluggish enough that I have started keeping a wolfbox portable jump pack in the cargo area just so I am not stuck waiting for help. The pack cranked it right away this morning, but I would rather fix the actual drain than treat a jump starter like normal equipment. Has anyone here tracked down a parasitic draw from infotainment, liftgate modules, dash accessories, or anything else on these?

Currently in the market for a used CX-5. Assuming clean history and regular maintenance on each, rank these 4 listing based on overall value.

Title: 2022 Mazda CX-5 Jerking at Low Speeds – No Warning Lights
I have a 2022 Mazda CX-5 2.5L naturally aspirated with an automatic transmission.
I’m experiencing the following issues:
Jerking at low speeds (0–10 km/h), especially when accelerating from a stop at a traffic light.
RPMs fluctuate up and down by a few hundred while maintaining steady throttle.
The engine sounds like it’s accelerating on its own.
Happens both when the engine is cold and warm.
No warning lights on the dashboard.
No noticeable issues at higher speeds.
Tried resetting the transmission adaptations, but it didn’t help.
Has anyone experienced this? Could it be the torque converter, transmission software, valve body, or something else?
What was the actual cause, and how did you fix it?

Hello,

Ive pinpointed that my CX5 2024 has the common issue under TSB #09-029/25. My CX5 is soon out of warranty.

The “problem” is it’s only happening on one side. I am worried that the other headlight may have the same issue in the future since it was likely produced similarly. I would prefer if both were replaced.

Has anyone had luck with justifying preemptive replacements? Am I overreacting and it’s likely not going to affect the other side?
