Sep 2017 1240 mi	Technology safety system is totally dependent on the upper factory installed windshield camera.

So during a snowstorm, heavy rain, fog, morning dew or some bird poops on the windshield some of your "special" safety features of the technology package will not work, and Mazda doesn't consider this to be a defect. The 19 inch tires that come with the vehicle are suppose to be top end tires. After 2,500 Kms they are developing "flat" spots. Let the car sit over night and when you start out in the morning you have a thump, thump, thump for about 10 Kms until the tires warm up.

Sep 2018 37000 mi US $1100	Mazda has a problem and they know it, but to date, they have not issued a recall for this widespread problem. Like many other CX-5 owners, the DRL LEDs in both my headlight assemblies failed just out of warranty. This is a known problem amongst CX-5 owners online; Mazda will not admit as such, however. But, my service advisor said differently: "Yes, these fail all the time. That's why we keep them in stock." Update: Mazda finally issued a recall for this issue in early 2020. After a brief visit to the dealership to inspect the previous repair, they reimbursed me the entire amount I paid for this repair in Sept 2018. The Mazda Customer Experience Center handled this entire situation with great professionalism and excellent customer service. Anyway, I was able to get Mazda to goodwill about $1400 of the $2500 total cost (parts, labor) of the repair. This took quite a bit of back-and-forth with their "Customer Experience Center." I do have to say that the person I worked with at Mazda was really helpful through the whole process. Also, I figured that if Mazda ever does initiate a recall, I will be reimbursed what I spent, and if they don't, I probably was never going to get as good of an offer as this one, anyway. My (new) DRLs are unplugged to prevent this happening again. I'd rather have functional DRLs that I can plug in if I need to than 2x $1000 paperweights on the front of my vehicle.

The spoiler was also quite loose and I'm sure would eventually have fallen off the vehicle. I re-tightened all the nuts and used Blue Loctite to prevent them backing out again.

Got "Keyless system malfunction" error codes (no start), OBD codes relating to ABS and SBCS systems, throttle bottle and starter clicking constantly after the car was turned off. Most concerningly it ended up devolving into a situation where we could not turn off the engine without pulling a fuse. The car would cycle through "off," accessory, and on modes inside (gauges, accessories, etc.), but the engine remained on and running the whole time. I was able to usually return the car to a drivable by disconnecting the battery and waiting long enough for the ECU to reset. The vehicle spent days at the dealer but they were unable to find anything wrong. We ended up trading the vehicle in for another brand. Some research I did indicated it might be related to multiple TSBs related to the ignition system for 2013-early 2014 CX-5s. The car was unsafe...should've been a recall.
