Uhhh I think I am experiencing the Mazda gear box issue now.
Yesterday while driving it sounded like my engine is stuck in low gear, my speed is not matching up to my rpm (speedometer hardly moves while tachometer increases)
Went to a auto repair shop and after checking he said could be gear box issue, usually need to overhaul the whole box which could cost 4-5k?
What he suggested trying to do is changing the gear box oil and oil treatment which cost a few hundred to see if it fixes the issue instead.

Anyone had similar experience?

2018 model and only 70k km 😢
Don’t think I did any ATF change. So far all my 6 months servicing was done through Mazda 4S, don’t think they did any

Man... it's only 70k mileage, not even near 100k. Is there any definite way to know whether is really gear box need to overhaul? Or just changing ATF is a fix for the issue?

Don't need to overhaul the gb.

During your said shifting, the transmission control valve (metallic and male) was momentarily getting stucked within the valve body (metallic part and is a female) due to impurities.

The impurities or dirts/contaminants was from a 'used and burnt' ATF, at 70K km mileage in your case.

It is not caused by ATF leaks at polymer oil seals which hardened over say, 300-500K km usage. Oil seal hardening in a 70K km AT operating in low temperature regime is, imo academic.

Hence there is no need for ATF treatment (as recommended above, with due respect).

The only thing to do is:
replace new ATF. Period.

For mineral ATF type, replace new every 40K km or below.

For fully synthetic type ATF, replace new every 100K km or below.

*Lifetime fluids classification is a Mazda (and other  car manufacturers) marketing terminology,  It's not a technical or lubricant terminology.

*Mazda meant lifetime as manufacturer warranty period of typically 100K km.

Note: Don't ever do ATF flushing (with due respect) in a Control Valve System that always comes with super duper tight clearance at say, 1-5 microns.

1 micron = 1000 nano.

Just my 2 sen.

ID / exterior design wise I think nothing wrong at all with the new CX-5.
Here at my nitpicks.
1. Longer - I'm not sure it solves much for existing, I felt its already long enough. I would dearly like it to be wider. It is NARROWEST in the class. Just 1inch will help a lot, not sure why they went for 4 inch longer instead.

Here is the biggest problem.
What the nature is happening with NO AC buttons and dials. I've seen Protons and BYDs owners literally cursing when going through the air cond settings via touch screen. Come on, in Malaysia we are baking in the sun.

In USA for example in winter, you DO NOT want to take off the gloves in -20C to access the heater controls. (Which may not work at such cold temps anyway). With gloves a touch screen doesnt even work.

So this car works well in moderate climate when you don't even need AC, ok.

Whatever happen to "touch screens are dangerous" - to quote Mazda themselves. Weird.

This is coming from a guy who went to great lengths to hack the current infotainment to enable touch screen. Somethings are better with knobs and dials and buttons man. Just 2 knobs, 1 for temperature and 1 for fan speed is that too much.

Ya, think so

Given how the latest CX5 looks like.. Discount 10k also macam x laku

Guys,

Would like to ask for advice for CX5 2.5T. Milage now is 120k km after 5 years.

1. I changed my transmission fluid at 60k km. Now at 120k km, should I just change the fluid & filter? Or should flush the transmission fluid?
SC advisor said better to flush. But I read that there are risk associated with flushing..

2. SC quoted to change these items. Body, Fuel Filter & Filter Fuel Pump. Parts cost alone RM635.00
Or should change them outside and will cost less in view that the car is after warranty.

3. Seems odd that SC didn't mention need to replace the timing belt....  :confused:

4. Air cleaner. Should I replace with Mazda air filter or get the after market type?
Thanks in advance.

I recently saw this also. It says sodium.. Something new?

Not sure about the 2.0 but these apply to the 2.5T. This is the tint Bermaz uses: https://ice-u.com.my/activ-e/
The Bermaz dashcam has both front and rear cameras and mine currently has a 256GB microSD no issues although it's a pain to search for recordings when it fills up and the official Bermaz dashcam software is not as good as 70mai's. There is a 3rd party app that can detect the Bermaz dashcam but you've gotta pay to use their advanced features.
