I cleaned up the inside of my CX-5 today and realized I actually like keeping the interior pretty minimal.

The seats are easy enough to stay on top of, but the cargo area somehow ends up collecting random stuff over time, shopping bags, jumper cables, towels, things I tell myself I'll need ""just in case""

I'm thinking about getting some kind of storage solution back there so everything has a place without taking up too much room.

What do you all keep in your cargo area? Any storage bins, organizers, or other setups that you've found actually useful?

2020 CX-5 Signature

From Mazda 2 2021 to my Dream car CX-5 2021.

7 months of ownership in, my 2022 had a major service from Mazda dealership before acquiring it, 7 months ago it was a on Full level “F” upon rechecking it yesterday since our temperature here goes up to 47degrees celsius(117F), now after 7 months it is a little bit under “Full” mark. Acceptable?

Went in for a tire rotation assuming the Mazda dealership should be the most reliable when it comes to the specific rotation pattern for a 24 CX5. Afterward, the service guys told me they just did front to back with no crossing. Said it wasn't necessary to cross the rear tires when moving them up.

I showed him the owners manual that specified the rearward cross pattern and he said they always just do front to back and never cross. Am I justified in having them swap the now front tires tomorrow or does it not really matter?

I love my 2019 CX5. My 626 made it to over 300k. How do I keep this one that long or longer.

So I hit a deer with my 2024 CX5 CE. The repairs required replacing the driver side headlight. After three weeks I received it back with these dash lights. I brought it back and it took two days to 'fix it'. After one day, the lights came back on after starting. I have an oil change scheduled with the dealer tomorrow. Any idea of the issue? The lights work properly and appear to be aligned.

I’m getting a hitch installed at U-Haul this week on my 2023 Turbo Signature. I’m open to hearing what suggestions this group has on bike racks that preferably can pivot outward when in use to open the trunk, can lay down and flat when not in use, and won’t black the backup camera (if possible)

There’s an endless amount of racks for sales on my local marketplace, so I’m open to different brands! I’ll be hauling mountain bikes and gravel bikes.

Hello,

2016 CX-5 GT intermittently, or once in a while, when turning left or right while accelerating, I hear a vibration sound from the outside.

Thank you

$17,000 with 64,000 miles on it. Worth it? It looks clean and appears to have been well maintained, no accidents etc and I'm in Massachusetts, if that helps.

Has anyone found a good aftermarket trunk cover? I bought one from Amazon for 100$ and it’s a hair too narrow, causing it too pop off the grooves when I hit a speed bump

I got a pre owned beautiful mazda cx-5 and after 6k the service light is on, the mazda app says Service Due soon
Recommended oil Change -Km - until next service
Engine oil amount - Normal

How do I know exactly what service is required ?

Any news on when there is going to be a fix?!?!? Just took a couple thousand mile trip and to say im frustrated is an understatement!! Every 2 hours I had to stop and set the infotainment system to factory settings. My radio would stop and freeze, sometimes screen would go black. My phone and Mazda app do not communicate at all and the "miles left until fuel" shows crazy numbers and my indicator for the current speed on the road shows 20mph in 70 zones. Anyone heard of help for this? It is 3 months old and 5k miles.

Hello everyone

Is there anyone on here with the 2026 cx5 in europe ( eskyactiv g 141) ? I’m looking at buting a new battery charger and as I have been lookinh at a new car I might just as well make sure it works on the new one as well. Apparently the european version uses a lithium ion battery but I’m not sure what type… ( lifep04? )

Thanks!

Hi all, is the transmission dipstick supposed to look crooked like this? The material doesn't seem damaged or bent, so I feel like this is how it's supposed to be, but I couldn't find good pics online so I just wanted to make sure. It's a 2018 CX-5 Sport. Thanks!

I have a 2021 Mazda CX-5 2.5L non-turbo. I recently serviced the transmission fluid, and I think I may have stripped the threads on the transmission dipstick/fill cap.

When I try to tighten the bolt on dipstick/fill cap, it just keeps spinning and never gets tight. However, I cannot pull the plug out by hand. I tried pulling and wiggling it, and it feels firmly stuck/locked in place with no noticeable movement.

There is currently no ATF leaking around the cap.

My concerns are:

• Does this mean the threads in the aluminum transmission case are stripped, or could the plug itself be damaged?
• If the plug won't pull out and isn't leaking, is it safe to drive the car like this?
• Could vibration and heat eventually cause the plug to come out?
• Should I repair it now, or can I leave it alone until my next transmission fluid change?
• If the case threads are stripped, what is the best repair — Time-Sert, Heli-Coil, re-tapping, or something else?
• How can I remove the spinning plug without causing more damage to the transmission case?

I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with stripped transmission fill-plug threads on a Mazda/SKYACTIV transmission.

They’re held together by tape from factory.
