Can you make a video for the Top 5 issues in a 2020 lexus rx 350

[@chrisbeaver5077]

Is the noise issue mostly only in the rear due to the rust on the hardware? Did a brake job and still hear a noise.

[@carenthusiast4254]

With my caliper, and rotor disc then I always make sure to clean thoroughly behind disc and rotor. Making sure there is also rust primer on calipers, after l use copper wire brush for sanding them down with eye shield and mask on. It is a tough job, but respraying coats on caliper with primer anti rust agent and blue UHD colour really make caliper long last against the wear and tear coming from old to highly dangerous brake dust when scraping off. If you in doubt, and feel you cant change pads due to worry that you can't get them on then never change you pads, only get that done through service. If you want to do it you self, but in doubt of buying through private car part sales places after measuring pads then always order from dealership genuine parts. Never order aftermarket parts, Brembo is another issue we face as many people order Brembo brake parts and experience good to bad faults. Biggest of all is incorrect alignment, and often occur through ordering new pins that are too short or to big in size. Ionised water is just quick tip on cleaning the rust off before priming, spraying and painting to lubing back on.

Was thinking about getting a 2013 CX-5 but I'd prefer a manual transmission because those CVT things worried me to death

MAZDA FIXED MY LIGHTS FOR FREE EVEN WHEN I PURCHASED CAR SECOND HAND - This is the company I am willing to get in love with.

[@1disturbedturtle1]

As a service advisor for a Mazda dealership in california, this is only semi accurate. Recalls fix the DLR and Liftgate damper. As for the windshield, parking brake, and uneven wear of brakes, I've yet to see it. I personally oversee thousands and thousands of repairs to Mazdas (a large percentage of which are this era, but the cx5 is definitely very popular) over the course of a even just a year, which tells me if these are a "common" issue, its relatively non existent based on stats. All in all in my experience, these are great commuter cars and very reliable

Own a 2015 CX5 grand touring with 65k miles. been absolutely rock solid, zero issues.

I’ve got 126k on my 2015. Great vehicle!

[@MrKris0802]

2015 75k miles, so far brake rotors, front struts, serp belt + tensioner. Not too bad. Fog lights come aimed uselessly low but can easily be readjusted.

[@mooauto2388]

impressive how reliable this thing is

[@ironcity8693]

So in other words the CX-5 is a very reliable vehicle.

[@slscamg]

Yes that was my thought. All Mazda’s post Ford are very reliable. They went back to Japanese engineering. My 2017 CX-9 is 99% parts from Japan, made in Japan. Even the master branded oil filter and windshield wiper blade refills are made in Japan. It’s been rock solid, even as a first model year car after a full redesign.

[@tyrab2434]

Yes. I bought mine brand new in April 2017, 118k miles now (yea, horrible, but im in transportation business)... never had any issues, or had to fix anything besides normal maintenance (brakes, tune up, battery..etc)

[@Chazz75]

Yes it is, I have the 2016 gt and it's amazing, I never liked a car like this one before, so fun to drive and it still looking good for a 5 years vehicule, other than regular maintenance, only the brake was done on it and The headlight changed on a recall The only downside it's that the drl LEDs replacement are weaker than the OEM.

[@reagan7480]

Bought my 2014 (with a stick shift!) used a few years ago. No major issues, just hit 100k miles and going strong. I drive 60/40 highway/city and noticed the oil gets too dark for my liking before the 7,500 manufacturer recommended change interval. I change it every 5,000 instead.

[@johndeerefan725]

The DRL and liftgate piston issue were both in a recall. Our 2014 CX-5 Touring was affected by the liftgate piston recall and the recall happened about a month after we got it.

[@888dddean]

i have a 2013 GT CX5, problem free,have had zero issues . love this vehicle 😎

[@AnalogueKid2112]

Both the DRL issues and the liftgate struts are the subject of recalls, so don’t pay any money when you can get it fixed for free at the dealer!

[@salocin911]

189,000 miles and have pretty much only changed the oil and done reg maint.

[@ericpheymannicie5044]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the front door speaker failure. Mazda did not seal the speakers from the moisture that the windows bring in when they are rolled down, so the glue holding the speaker cone to the speaker frame eventually disintegrates. Actually kind of an easy fix if you're ok taking the door panel off and applying proper speaker glue to the edges of the cone. But the speakers will rattle like crazy with any amount of bass if you don't apply this fix, and too much glue while applying the fix can also make the speakers too dull or prevent them from calibrating with Bose's on-the-fly equalization. I did one speaker a year or so ago and the second one started rattling recently so I'll be fixing that soon.

[@MountainDewComacho494]

The issue with the lift gate was taken care of with a factory recall. The dealer fixed it for free. I did also notice the issue with the calipers. I had to replace my pads earlier than I should have. I also had to replace all the rotors. This was on my 2015 CX-5.

[@alimodz6253]

I've had the 1st gen CX-5 since 2013: 1- I got the standard with no day time running lights 2- Never had this windshield problem 3- Never had the liftgate problem 4- I remember only changing my breaks literally once only because they were squeeking 5- I have a crank break :) Actual problem I had: 1- I had damaged the front radiator for the A/C (I think a stone hit it or something) which cause the compressor to fail due because there was no A/C gas(Feron) 2- The mass airflow sensor failed which cause some weird issues and random car turnoff, replacing it was the fix 3- There is a switch inside the gear changer that detects when you are in P. Now I need to push the gear lever towards the P because it wont get detected properly and allow the car to turn off, Its a cheap part you need to replace. I think that's all the problems I had. I have 195000 Kilometers on it

[@1AAuto]

+Ali modz Thanks for the feedback!

[@erickfrancistuazon9066]

I have mazda cx 2013 AWD. I encountered the same problem as what you had.... 1. The Mass air flow sensor issue which was replaced at the mazda service center for approx $120 for parts and labour 2. The gear switch sensor that cost $200 in the mazda service center for parts and labour 3. The righthand side mirror motor folding issue. Mazda 2013 CX5 AWD at 158, 000 kms

[@teqnkka4403]

1. I am now having daytime issues fliking light on one side. 2. - 3. - 4. - 5. -

[@ItsMe-ic7on]

When you say standard what do you mean by that? I was thinking you had a manual transmission but after you're mentioning the park I'm figuring it was not a manual transmission.

[@aussie8114]

You don’t have to replace the rotors just because you’re replacing the pads. Pads are disposable items, rotors aren’t. You can machine them if uneven but otherwise leave them alone until they become too thin.

[@jamesjackson8058]

My wife and I love our 2016 Mazda CX-5 .The only issue has been the broken latch on the central consile and now at 75000 the radiator developed a bit of play, front to back 1/4 inch maybe.

[@captainsparkle-fingers2744]

Got a 2016.5 Grand Touring with 48K miles on it, still drives like a gem. Give it to my daughter for school and work and she loves it! Great C.U.V for the money..

[@SteveBrant55]

Thank you! In May 2024, there's a 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring for sale near me with about 150,000 miles on it. Less than $13,000 sounds good. But I wonder about reliability at this age / mileage. I will definitely mention this areas of concern to the dealer in the morning!

[@bobbyjohns1643]

I just bought a 2014 CX-5 GT with 158k miles from the original owner. It had cold start misfires, a bad coil, needed rear brakes, and a set of tires, but that was all. A carbon cleanup of the intake fixed the misfires and now the acceleration is much improved.

[@bahhaziz]

So no mechanical problems 🤔 engine and transmission are perfect ?

[@jean-mathieuleblanc6226]

250k on mine. Everything original. Trailer and camper 10% of the mileage. 20k oil change Mobil 1 long range. Awesome car. Live in quebec canada so a good brake cleaning every spring. That's it.

[@marccaya8412]

Live in QC too and indeed the brake cleaning come spring time is MANDATORY!

The only thing I replaced on any of my mazda vehicles was the oil, tires, and brakes. Never touched the transmission on any of these vehicles.

[@toddac61]

Have a 2015 CX-5, at about 80K miles (manual parking brake lever) I heard a noise when getting off the highway. Stopped and felt all rims and the right rear was much hotter. Had calipers locked up due to corrosion and had the rear two replaced. I took off the front pads and cleaned them up and made sure the the contacts and pins were well lubricated so it didn't happen in the front. No other problems so far except I am surprised how much rust is underneath and on the engine bolts.

[@raymondclark1785]

My 2014 has over 100k now and has only needed tires and front pads. The lift gate struts were done in a recall.

[@arkinsam7733]

I have a 2016 model CX5, only problem I had is the torn bushing in the front control arms...it got damaged due to the poor road condition here in Toronto. Huge pot holes. Overall, this car is solid. I would say they are very close to Toyota standards when it comes to reliability, gas efficiency and performance. Its fast enough with good power so I dont get bullied in the highway too. I love the interior as well, it looks good and looking like a bmw x5. My daughter is going to uni and im planning to give her this can and I upgrade to a 2018 model CX5.

[@monteeggers8651]

Video was quite interesting! Recently purchased a 2021 Mazda CX-5 turbo and am actually loving the car more and more as I drive it more and more. I was actually relieved to find out the five problems weren't more mechanical. I guess from your presentation that I own a second generational Mazda. Thank You!

[@dexgray4581]

[@MrMattDat]

We have a 2013 and a 2015 CX-5 Grand Tourings and have had none of these problems. We HAVE run into the nightmare of the exhaust pipe rotting out about 6" up on the exhaust manifold (at the hanger weld). Got to love this 2 piece cat setup! The repair is going to cost us $2000!!!

[@briarfox637]

We bought a 2014 CX5 new and our windshield actually cracked on the bottom. I eventually stopped and I haven't replaced it yet. Liftgate pistons were recalled so they replaced them. And I'm actually replacing the front and rear pad and rotors now. 57k miles on the car, easy driving, very good car. The only electrical issue I've had was the break switch, under the pedal, that interloks with the push button start had stuck. Easy replacement and it was an 11 dollar part.

[@Unaveragetrainguy]

I have a 2016 CX-5 GP with about 70K miles it, and fortunately I have not had any of these problems (knock on wood). Only issues have been the things I caused myself, like i broke the fancy passenger side mirror glass (and that would have been costly to replace, but I replaced it myself, and so was less than $100), and other normal maintenance.

[@corymize9244]

[@Nordestada]

So there is no way of fixing the windshield problem other than replacing the glass?

[@schwinnbiking]

Problem 3 never had but they replaced at Mazda as a recall.. they also replaced seized calipers for me just before warranty ran out

[@radanderson7837]

Great description of probs with CX 5. My problem with the electric parking brake is that the light flashes and I have problems disengaging only when temps are below freezing and starting after sitting overnight. Light goes off and brake disengages after turning off engine and restarting. Problem doesn't reoccur during the day even if temp remains below freezing. Would this be a module issue?

So I had a 2005 Mazda 6 that I am the second owner of. Had 216,000 miles on it when I traded it in yesterday. Picked out a 2013 CX-5 which I have been wanting for a while. So far I love it except I noticed as soon as I pulled into the highway after picking it up, the digital speedometer and the actual speedometer are not syncing up. The digital speedometer is totally off and out of whack so I'm curious if there any suggestions on what might be causing this? I love Mazdas so would hate to give the vehicle back if it's a simple fix. Hoping the dealership will just take care of it as they should have before it was ever sold.

[@daveeby6446]

This video covers things that are not part of my 2013 CX-5 Touring. It does not have LED daytime running lights or electronic parking brakes. The lift gate pistons were a recall replacement. The rear brakes wore normally until they needed replaced at 93K miles. The windshield did not have that cracking problem before it was replaced due to a golf ball sized piece of Michigan road salt. At 248K+ miles, it is still a great car. Fixed the door speaker issue myself. The HID headlights were a $1K repair after continuous ON over 200K miles.

[@matty_o]

I had a 2014 Cx5. My biggest issue is under body rust of the suspension parts,calipers and rotors. I put 122,000 miles on it. No engine ,electronic or transmission issues. The bracket holding the SCB system on windshield became loose. I now have a 2016.5 Cx5 and hope that parking brake and LED drl don’t crap themselves.

[@joes9296]

Thanks for the very useful information!

[@rogercorbett8358]

In the uk I own a 2014 cx5 and so far none of these problems have occurred. The only issue was at less than 4years old and 35000 miles the heater failed to warm up. A new unit at the cost of 700£ was fitted and apparently this was a common fault in this country. Mazda have not seen fit to assist in any way with the cost of this but have upgraded the heating unit on later models so are aware of the problem.

[@tyrab2434]

I have the 2016.5... the sales guy said they re made the 2016 half way through, due2 some issues... I thankfully havnt had any of these problems, at 118k. My back brakes only in reverse do squick, but Mazda said the brakes r fine, was just dust.. but the noise came back.

[@yauyuso]

I still live my CX5 but yeah did experience quit e a few of the issues mentioned.

[@romydomdom]

My 2013 Sport AWD with 101,000 miles has been freakin awesome. Bought it with 15,000 miles on it. Only issues have been a bad parking switch sensor and the serpentine belt broke. Both fixed myself. I have upgraded the exhaust (Corksport), added roof rails and a roof basket, aftermarket headlights, aftermarket suspension, front sway bar, some bad ass breaks and new wheels with offroad tires. It's underpowered but I love the gas mileage. Its so reliable driving through snow I cannot believe it sometimes. I've driven through 3' of snow in blizzards here in Colorado and no problem. My next vehicle will be a CX-5 100%.

[@matthewviel4546]

We have noisy power driver seat, known issue. Replaced the parking sensor because some rubber part wore out and it couldn't tell when it was in park, replaced pistons. But fine vehicle for the most part

[@MrMattDat]

There are two major issues hitting the early CX-5 1st Generations with a 2.0L: 1) Exhaust manifold failure. Mazda welded about 8" of exhaust PIPE to the end of the manifold and welded the first hanger here. It is through that weld these are rotting through. Repairing this requires replacement of the exhaust manifold (an $1800 part IF you can find one) and a very long repair (drop the engine), 2) The power steering motor failing. A part that runs $1400, very hard to obtain and is a very long, involved repair. I love my CX-5s (I have 3: 2013, 2015, 2018 as well as a CX-30), but the parts pricing is ridiculous (with no aftermarket solutions)

[@chillrasta12]

Have you heard of any carbon build up on intake valves due to carbon build up on the skyactiv engines?

[@archiethedog4515]

Were these fixed on the 2nd gen? I have a 2019 CX-5. Also my passenger mirror assembly motor is broken and I have a schedule to get that replaced for free. The motor that moves just the mirror is fine, it's the whole side mirror assembly that is broken. Is there any way to turn off the auto side mirror fold thing when locking the car?

[@michaelstrong8841]

Do you have any advice or experience with the P0101 errors which put the car into limp mode and direct you to MAF sensor cleaning/replacement? I have a 2015 CX-5 2.2 diesel and already encountered the led running light issue. Now im scratching my head and getting fed up with the car after replacing the MAF sensor and seeing no improvement. Usually through motorway driving it triggers a cluster of error lights: Check engine Traction control Power steering Handbrake Tyre pressure Then the car will go into limp mode until it's shut down and restarted. Only other thing I've seen recommended is a battery change as I think it may be the original battery in there.

So why didn't they do a recall on the headlight stuff? Of course I couldn't care less if my running lights weren't working doesn't bother me at all.

Would you recommend the 2018-20 or newest model?

[@mrbmahony]

I have a 2016 cx5 no problems bar getting a scbs forward malfunction warning .Have you seen this problem?

[@mattkeefe3850]

How do you put the rear brakes in service mode?

[@worksmartnothard8281]

So 🤔 no issues with the engine and transmission?

[@dbrxsdgo]

Thanks, folks. I'll be here all week. 😂 I'm thinking this guy debated between acting school and mechanic school. Maybe he did both? Either way, nice job. 😉

@@1AAuto just reached 175k miles on my Mazda cx -5 changed the break pads at 135k now at 175k whenever I break the whole steering wheel shakes hard and the front of the tires vibrates like crazy just woke up this morning and the tread on half of the front tires is gone like wooosh ... can you give me a hand ? What do you think is the problem is it the rotors ?

[@1AAuto]

+CcOLaGeN We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

You stated that the rear brakes tend to wear out fairly quick. And so obviously the pads need to be replaced. But then you also said that if you change the pads, to change the rotors too......why? I've had quite a few cars in my lifetime and have found that my rear rotors will typically last close to, or beyond 100,000 miles. If the CX-5 pads wear out "early", say at 40,000 miles, why would I change the rotors?

[@RobertNES816]

One thing that should be added is a dying battery can cause all sorts of issues from decreased fuel economy to the emergency braking system not working to the transmission shifting weird when cold. I replaced the battery in mine because it wouldn't start one day. That was a year ago and it's been perfect.

+Robert NES816 Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

Has anybody had any problems with starting their cx-5 or battery issues

[@Sammy-uf9kl]

2016.5 Mazda cx-5. 60.000 km. My only problem now (high pressure fuel pomp), $1500 part and labour. Fixed under warranty cover. 🙏

[@Abstract1406]

LoL Man these dealerships are a rip off. Most likely under $500 at a reputable auto shop.

Well done!
