Mazda CX-5 Change Vehicle

"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"Navigation system is out of date by at least three years.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."

"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."

"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"

"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."
