| Mazda CX-5 in Ontario, Canada Jul 2017 - Aug 2018 | |||
| Sep 20171240 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. 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. | ||
