2017 Mazda CX-5 4dr SUV

187-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

29000 mi Replaced battery 
51000 mi Replaced battery on key fob 
33000 mi Control module between seats was stuck and needed to be replaced under warranty 
5000 mi Forward collision and lane monitoring camera malfunctioned and had to be replaced. 
1240 mi Technology safety system is totally dependent on the upper factory installed windshield camera. If it's view is obscured in any manner the rest of the safety features such as collision avoidance, smart braking, lane assist will no longer function. In section 4 page 148 of the owner's manual this is stated, but the sales people don't mention this during the buying process. 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. 
4464 mi Windshield-mounted automatic brake sensor defective, had to be replaced.
