i would prefer 2.2d instead of 2.5

but 2.5t still the best

Can i know the experience of all the owner here.
How is the reliability of this car? Any problem so far?

Fuel pump.. But recently on recalled parts.

So far issues with my car:
1. Significant scratches on instrument cluster cover - My claim was rejected by Mazda, SA replaced it for me - Fixed
2. Air conditioner on front passenger side blow hot air when set to 25c, referred to Mazda Japan then SC changed the air conditioner controller, still the same. Compared with new car, is the same then SC concluded that it is normal - Fixed
3. Car jerking when slowly drive through a bump at 10~20kmph. SC relearn the auto transmission, so far there is no issue until today - Fixed
4. Clunking noise at the front, both front bush has been replaced - Fixed
5. Rattling noise:
- Front dashboard (fixed but still there is minor noise)
- Instrument cluster cover (I think because they replaced it before this it was fixed recently)
- Driver side (ongoing but I might found the root cause)
- Left rear passenger side (ongoing can't find the root cause yet)
6. Left front damper knocking noise, to change with a new damper - In progress

About some of the abnormal noise, complained to SC and then they said it was fixed but actually not, so have to visit them frequently to investigate and remediate

actually, for me some sound or noises are due to built issue. This is unavoidable and acceptable.

But what is not acceptable is alot major parts will spoil very fast. and need always bring the car go and repair and repair.

hahah CX5. Then what car is good?

Ur like one of those asshole paultan commenter

Bashing everything you can about Mazda, using a troll username

Then promote toyota.

Fark off cx5 thread la toyota SA.

2.2D-AWD owner here, not regret getting the car.
Bye....You could just fucuk out of here

Yeah it truly is one of those things that I'd rather prefer to have than not. If it works, then good (as in your case); if it doesn't, then too bad it's probably my bad anyway.

From various posts earlier I see that the current CX-5 lineup has its fair share of issues especially with the absorber/lower arm having noise and needing replacement, and also side mirrors. A bit scary also with the touchscreen issues now a bit unsure on if I should still have CX-5 at the top of my list. The design is a bit dated by now, yes, but I do still like the looks of it.

The problem is that even >200k cars like GLC also have their own fair share of issues. It's rare to find a car where it's 100% problem-free. Maybe the Myvi and some Toyotas come close to it, but not sure which cars are truly worry-free in the range of 180k-300k

2018 2.2D owner here, just wanted to add a data point... bought the car since January 2019 and driven 115k km.

So 2 weeks ago I sent the car to Mazda 3S workshop for inspection as I experienced power loss after exiting toll and also noticed the temperature gauge is more than 100c at the time. A week later the workshop called me and said my engine has "bengkok" due to overheating and need a new engine replacement. Quoted price was 18k++. Did not agree to it outright and requested for HQ to replace it FOC.

Today they called again and said HQ is willing to give a 25% discount 

I believe this is the infamous 2.2D head gasket failure and yet the workshop does not dare to admit it's a design issue with the engine.

Wow 🤩 . See more & more diesel blow gasket now. Legend has it. Only time will tell. 😂🤣🤣

My 2.2D recently got coolant splash out to engine bay there. It only happen when I drive above 150km/h. If drive around 120km/h no leak.
84k km, SC help me claim warranty. Now it stay in SC during CNY.
I wonder is it same as your case?

i think it's my turn for having issue with lower arm bush cause there is a krung noise when going through speed bump

my next service is in 2 months so is it safe to wait till then or better replace ASAP?

then it will be just like my previous honda car. never ending issue

May i know what is infotainment ghost ? 

EDIT: Ahh I got it now from Youtube.

*Touchwood* I haven't met any of the clunking noises and infotainment ghost before of my 3 years plus ownership (2018 KF).

Hi all,

Need to seek advise here. CX5 owner.

I met an accident and got rear ended by other vehicle.
I sent in my car to car dealer (Not SC) and they sent to their own appointed workshop.
Insurance claim for new set of rear bumper and reinforcement bar.

However, issues come after 2 weeks collected car from the dealer.
1. Rear bumper color mismatch with body color. (around 70% match only). Knowing bumper and body different materials, will have bit difference, but mine one is totally wrong.
2. The bumper seems like still the old one, not replaced with new one. Cause found certain spots, looks alike the deformed part of the plastic trim after the accident, but they adjust to correct it back, not to perfection.
3. The paint job is shit. However, they offered to repaint.
4. All the bumper clips (wheel arch there), still marked with factory marking, looks like not tampered/dismantle (if got change to new bumper set).

But the issues now I not sure whether they replaced new bumper for me or not. If they are not, they are cheating on me, as I am being told during insurance claim, they got claim for new bumper set.

I have made appointment with SC for inspection. And requested claim report from the insurance to check the claimed items.

P/S: I am not going to check with my SA, until I figure all this out. Because they surely will ask me to send my car back to them for fixing. The same issues will repeat.
If end result is the old bumper, I am going to file complaint to HQ and screw this dealer!!

Err. anyone with experience how to differentiate if the bumper is replaced? the factory marked clips can be as clue?

thanks for input.

Not the first. But the first for claiming 3rd party.
HQ won't do anything on dealer if found that cheating is done on the customer?
If HQ won't entertain, PIAM will entertain?

I see.

so basically if Insurance, HQ, PIAM, doesn't care on my case, then the last resort is Tribunal already?

But really insurance won't make any noise? since workshop overclaimed the required parts to be repair? Or they also under table money already?

Actually I don't mind if they want to claim extra for their pocket money, but whatever promised to me was not delivered (new bumper), and I really can't accept this.

If those legal channel doesn't work, social media is another options then.
