Mazda CX-5

"The engineers at Mazda should be held accountable for their mistakes and should offer a fix. As for myself, I installed a Mickey Mouse reusable decal over the face of the gauge which has transported me back to my 1938 Chevrolet that provided the same Info that I'm blocking out of my current"

"The screen in the gauge with car info went blank all of sudden when I started my car at a weekday night. I went to dealership the day after and they took my car and gave a loaner. Later they said they were going to replace it. The wait for the part was 10 days-ish but they had difficulty to recover the odometer and other information stored in the screen. It took them 3 months to get the data "sync" to the new gauge screen."

"Short in entertainment system amplifier caused battery to die after a few hours. Couldn't start car without battery jump."

"obsolete program, decided not to use. No car play for this model"

"difficult to learn and use. The voice does not always provide directions."

"the navigation system took the short route not the fastest"

"The nav system is dumb as a stump. Instructions to navigate to prominent landmarks: So and so airport, hospital, shopping center, etc. require an exact street address or it doesn't even try. Quick---what's the street address, including number, street, town and state, of the big one across town? This nav system requires all of that. It is ridiculous and I have wished that it would commit an impossible physical act innumerable times. If the system records commands given to it and keeps them, I'll bet the most common one is F You."

"Navigation system is out of date by at least three years. There is no update available for it. I find this totally unacceptable!"

"We have 2 drivers with each having their own iPhone. It get mixed up all the time not recognizing whos phone to use"

"Bluetooth is intermittent. Not consistent one way or the other."

"cumbersome and takes a lot effort to add favorite station. i.e. infotainment system need refinement"

"Vehical was delivered to me with a tsb outstanding for the voice reognition system. It was corrected with the instalation of a new SIM card. I think all new vehicals should be checked for outstanding tsb's' before they are delivered to the customer."

"It is difficult to reconcile the overall excellence of this car with the mediocrity of the voice control commands. Ask it to call someone, it often says it is memorizing my Bluetooth contacts, try again later. I've been using the same phone with it from the beginning! Tell navigation to guide me to Portland Int'l Airport, it demands the exact street address. Tell it to do something it CAN do, and it requires me to practically cross my heart and swear. It is the dumbest computer interface I can recall, ever. I keep thinking Mazda will upgrade this insulting piece of garbage, but they do not. When I bought the car, I understood that Android Auto for it would be available in 6 weeks and that it would be complementary, since the Mazda 6 already had it. But it came, I think, in December and cost $400! Absolutely ridiculous. I have had a couple of technical writing careers, and the manual for this car I like so much is another insult. It reads like it was written by nanny lawyers, more to provide tort defense against lawsuit happy customers than to tell one how to operate the car. Impossible slog through that drivel. I can NOT understand why Mazda has let that awful interface continue."

"Numerous little specs of paint that looked similar to rock damage, on hood, fender and rear hatch door. Those area were repainted by dealer. Said they had 3 or 4 similar problems with red paint."

"Swirl marks"

"Paint chips too easily. I did not purchase the dealership applied additional coating to protect paint from road debris. Wish I had."

"I have the $595 Red paint and there are chips of paint coming off all over the hood."

"Dozens of paint chips appearing in almost all body areas of the vehicle. Dealership told us this is a KNOWN ISSUE with certain paint colors (Red) in Mazda production process. Photos have been taken and submitted to Mazda for review and approval to re-paint the vehicle. We were told the process could take 6-8 weeks... we are waiting."

"Only one small incident above the rear license plate. The rust through was not much more than a pin prick, but was noticeable. Mazda fixed it right away. But the colour match was not perfect, had to be redone. Better, but apparently the pearlized White is difficult to match."

"Passenger airbag light came on. It went off occasionally then returned. 2019 over 3-months. Resolved upon dealer inspection. I was told some sensors were in the glove apartment that got bent by having too many tissues in it. No where in manual does it warn you about stuffing the glovebox or about the sensor there."

"Some times it is slow to apply the brakes. It will sound a warning but doesn't apply the brakes for a few seconds. In my opinion it should hit the brakes and then sound the alarm."

"Should steer the car back to the center of the lane, but it just lets it drift right on across the line. Sometimes it vibrates the steering wheel sometimes it don't."

"Failed camera"
