Mazda Cx-5 problems

The Mazda CX-5 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Mazda since 2012. A successor to both the Tribute and the slightly larger CX-7, it is Mazda's first model to feature the "Kodo" design language and the first model to be fully developed with a range of technologies branded as Skyactiv, including a rigid, lightweight platform combined with a series of engines and transmissions to reduce emissions and fuel consumption.
Since 2019, the CX-5 is positioned above the smaller CX-30. As of 2022, depending on the region, the CX-5 is positioned right below the larger CX-50, CX-60 or the CX-8 within Mazda's crossover SUV line-up.
The CX-5 has been the worldwide best-selling model offered by the brand every year since 2014, with record sales in 2019 when 444,262 units were sold globally. As of March 2022, cumulative sales of the CX-5 has reached around 3.5 million vehicles.

Common Problems with Mazda CX-5 Cars
The Mazda CX-5 is a popular compact crossover SUV, known for its luxury features and affordable price. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems. Here are some of the most frequently reported issues based on complaints from owners:
- Daytime Running LED Light Failure: This issue is particularly common in the 2016 Mazda CX-5, with an average cost to fix of $1,000 and typically occurring around 45,000 miles. The daytime running lights fail, which can be a significant safety concern.
- Unexplained Acceleration While Brakes Were Applied: This problem has been reported in the 2019 Mazda CX-5, with an average cost to fix of $2,600 and typically occurring around 14,000 miles. This can be a serious safety issue, as it can lead to loss of control of the vehicle.
- Windshield Easily Cracks/Divots: This issue has been reported in the 2015 Mazda CX-5, with an average cost to fix of $700 and typically occurring around 26,000 miles. The windshield can crack or divot easily, which can be a safety concern and also an annoyance for drivers.
- Faulty Ignition Coils: This was a common problem in the early models of the CX-5, particularly in the first generation (2012-2016). Many owners reported losing power while driving, which can be a significant safety concern.
- Control Short Circuit: This issue can cause the engine to cut out and reduce brake assistance. It has been reported in the 2012 to 2017 CX-5 models, with an average quote for electrical fault diagnostics of £61.49.
- Daytime Running Lamps Flickering: This issue has been reported in the CX-5 models, and can be caused by an electrical fault within the vehicle. It can result in the daytime LED running lights flickering or failing completely.
- Fuel Pump Impeller Failure: This issue can cause fuel pump failure, and has been reported in the 2012 to 2017 CX-5 models. The average quote for engine light diagnostics and repair for this issue stands at £57.53.
- Headlight Problems: This issue has been reported in the Mazda CX-5, where a defect in the LED or high-intensity discharge headlights can cause the lenses to appear milky white, reducing lighting ability.
- Handbrake Problems: This issue has been reported in the Mazda CX-5, where the handbrake can randomly engage itself without any manual influence. This can pose a risk to the driver and others on the road.
- Transmission Problems: Both the Mazda CX-3 and Mazda CX-5 models have been noted for a string of transmission issues, including shifter vibration and other problems. These issues have been attributed to SKYACTIV Technology, which Mazda uses in these models.
These are just some of the common problems reported by Mazda CX-5 owners. It's important to note that not all vehicles of this model will experience these issues, and many will run smoothly without any problems. However, potential buyers should be aware of these common issues and consider them when making a purchasing decision.

- Date Complaint: 2024-10-25
- VIN: JM3KFBCM2K1
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: I have 115k miles on my 2019 CX5. Never has any issues. Now all of a sudden I have a cracked cylinder head leaking oil. I was smelling smoke but mot seeing it. I took into dealership they noticed oil dripping thus why smell. Its a $4500-5000 job. I cannot afford this. This should not happen at this kind of mileage. My warranty just expired too. Mazda needs to cover these type of repairs
Mazda Cx-5 2016
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-25
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-25

- Summary: Front windshield wipers stopped working, front windshield washer still working. Fuse was checked, fuse is good.Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety is put at risk because of lack of visibility when driving in rain. The problem has been confirmed by a Mazda dealership. The vehicle and the components have been inspected by a Mazda dealership. No warning lights or messages appeared before or after the front windshield wipers stopped working. So if a person is driving the car, there is no indication that the front windshield wipers will not work if it starts raining and the driver would need to use the front windshield wipers. This is a safety hazard because the driver will not be able to see, possibly causing an accident. This Mazda CX5 does not have automatic front windshield wipers (they do not come on automatically when it starts raining).

I was amount in two auto collisions because of the vehicle slowing down in the middle of the highway. The problem started in August 2023 and was towed to the dealer on one occasions and towed to my home on another occasion. The dealer ran a diagnostic and said it was the brand new battery I had installed and then the catalytic converter. After repairing both; the vehicle proceeded to not drive over 30 miles per hour. The dealer said it was the engine and then said it was something else. I’ve expressed that the symptoms are those more aligned to the PCM issue recalled on 2019. A actual diagnostic report from Auto Zone supports this. The vehicle has also been inspected by another Mazda dealer and a stand alone mechanic.
Mazda Cx-5 2017

- Date Complaint: 2024-10-14
- VIN: JM3KFBCL5H0
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Twice now, my 2017 Mazda CX-5 stalled on the highway with a check engine light popping up--both times was driving around 60-70mph for a couple of hours and had about a quarter tank of gas left. The first time, no code was found, but the second time, after a deeper diagnostic, the dealership found a P0192 code. After reading here and many other places online, based on the code and the car's behavior, it really sounds like the Denso low-pressure fuel pump is to blame; that's the source of the recall for 2018 and 2019 Mazda CX-5s experiencing this same issue [XXX] ). If the 2017 model also uses that fuel pump, why isn't it included in the recall? If this dangerous and erratic car behavior is due to a faulty part, it really should be covered by the recall. Shame on you, Mazda. Lives are at risk. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

(2022 UPDATE) Hi there! Last year, I unfortunately had to give up driving due to some health issues. However, I was lucky enough to be able to give my CX-5 to my stepdaughter, who lives close by, with only about 25,000 miles on it. She's been taking great care of it and has even been following the dealer's oil change intervals, which are much stricter than factory requirements. The car still makes that lawn-mower-on-steroids engine sound when accelerating, but it isn't noticeable now that our brains have edited out that noise. The handling, stability, cornering, and stopping are all exceptional. Although I chose the smaller engine to save fuel costs and the metallic gray instead of my preferred flaming red due to cost-benefit calculations, the 2019 Mazda CX-5 is still a wonderful, reliable car that's comfortable to ride in and a joy to drive. In fact, it's the first car that's made me jump the Going to the beach with the sunroof open? Just throw in some two by sixes by 8 feet long and sandbags, or simply let the seat down and take a nap. According to two female drivers, the CX-5 is 'fine', but they don't seem to appreciate the driving pleasure it offers to the male brain as transduced through the male body. The 2019 CX-5 is a driver's car, providing an unparalleled driving experience. If you're looking to transport kids and sports equipment to the playing field, the Honda CR-V might be a better option with its larger cargo space and better gas mileage. However, if you want to enjoy the thrill of driving, the CX-5 is the way to go. Upon test driving another brand at one dealer, I found the car to be fine, but it insulated the driver from the road with soft suspension, the way many American cars do. Then I got into the driver's seat of a CX-5. Within a quarter of a mile, I knew this was the car for me. Other reviewers have had the same response. The twin anti-sway bars, the wheel alignment, the suspension design, and even the feel of the steering wheel all contribute to that solid, driver-in-charge experience. I've told friends that the car has a 'Teutonic road feel' like some of the German cars (BMW, for example). Overall, this car provides the most satisfying driving experience I've ever had, better than all my previous cars (Mustang, Nova, Buick Regal, Celica, Accord, Camry, Tacoma). The only things I don't like are the whiney engine sound as the car accelerates and the brakes that seem a bit squishy at times--I'm still getting used to them.

I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying your new CX5! It sounds like you made a great choice with the Touring option package, which includes some really nice features like the sunroof, power lift gate, and Bose sound system. Your 1600 mile trip from DFW to ATL and back sounds like it was a breeze in this comfortable car with great road feel. It's impressive that even at speeds of 75 to 80 mph, the CX5 never felt sluggish or underpowered. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us!

I was searching for a new vehicle to use for work and had a specific wish list in mind. I needed plenty of room in the back for sales materials, a combined EPA mileage of at least 27.5 mpg (as it is a company requirement to get an extra $100/month in car allowance), a manual transmission, and sporty handling that is fun to drive. After researching a lot of vehicles, I found that the CX-5 was the only one that met all of my needs. I have already put over 10k miles on it in just 3 months and the fuel economy has been over 30mpg in mostly highway driving. Even when I drive around 78mph on the interstate, in 6th gear the rpms are 3200 at this speed. It would get even better mileage at 60-65mph. So far, the CX-5 has performed flawlessly and I am extremely happy with my choice!

I recently purchased this car used with 46,000 miles on it, but unfortunately, I experienced some issues with the clutch pedal and gear box. After having it towed to the dealership, I was informed that a cylinder was shot. Although I was disappointed to learn that this wasn't covered under the power train warranty, Mazda's customer service was very helpful in explaining the situation. While I'm still concerned about the potential for future issues, I appreciate their assistance in resolving this matter.

Congratulations on your new job and your new vehicle! It sounds like you did a lot of research to find the perfect car for your budget. Although there were a few surprises with the hot pink stitching on the leather seats and the lack of Sirius XM, it's great to hear that you're enjoying the sleek design and smooth ride. The gun metal gray color with black 19You'll love the plain white dash dials, which give a classic and timeless look. The absence of digital displays, except for the tiny flat panel, adds to the charm and simplicity of the design.

Hey there! Just wanted to give you a heads up about the transmission version of your car. TSB 03-008/15 mentions that there might be an issue with the bearing configuration that could cause it to fail right after the 60k powertrain warranty, which could cost you $5200! I had a similar experience with my Mazda vehicle and it was definitely frustrating. Hope this helps you out!

The car has good horsepower and torque, a comfortable seat height, and is easy to park. The mileage is as expected, with 24 MPG combined for Premium gas and 25 MPG combined for Regular gas. It also has good passing power and fit and finish. However, the cocoa brown seat color can lead to a very hot car interior in the summer, and the regular gas can cause engine rattles despite Mazda's claims. The dashboard buttons are too small and low, making them hard to read, and the steering wheel is only heated at 9, 10, 2, and 3 o'clock. The remote only works within 30 feet of the car and sometimes doesn't work even when seated inside with the remote in your pocket. The transmission is clunkier compared to Hondas, and the GPS is not user-friendly. The key fob is massive and has tiny, hard-to-read buttons on the side. There is no option to turn on/off the heads-up display except for that particular drive, and the piano black center console is a dust collector. Additionally, you cannot lock the doors while the tailgate is up or closing, and the side door water bottle holder does not hold water bottles vertically, but instead at a weird angle, so make sure your water bottle cap is really tight!

This car has every bell and whistle imaginable and I was so excited driving it off the lot. However, I have been experiencing some computer issues lately. Unfortunately, these problems have been occurring more frequently, and it's becoming a daily issue. The issues are random and include the dash going dark, Sirius not being available, the car not unlocking, the car not locking, and messages flashing on the dash. I could go on and on. I took my brand new car to the dealership service department, but they told me there was nothing wrong. I gave them a memory card with numerous videos and pictures, but they still didn't seem to understand the issue. They have one more chance to fix this before I invoke the Lemon Law. Recently, they updated the software which resolved the Sirius issues, but now the car won't go over 30 mph in a snowstorm (in South Dakota!!!). I had to shut off all the fancy safety features because of numerous malfunctions. While driving down the interstate, in rush hour, suddenly the car wouldn't do more than 30 mph (I was in the left lane), and a malfunction warning was flashing on the dash. I believe that the computer system needs some improvement. I hope that the programming team can address these issues soon.
