The contact owns a 2016 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, there was an abnormally loud chirping and squeaking noise coming from the driver-€™s side front wheel. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer to be inspected however, the dealer could not duplicate or diagnose the cause for the failure. The contact was concerned that the failure was related to the suspension. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

There was a thumping sound coming from the right front wheel, at slow speeds on a dirt road. When I took the car to the repair shop I was told that the bushings, lower control arms and struts needed to be replaced. I know there is a recall on some of the cars like mine, but apparently mine is not part of the recall. However, I do not think it is a coincidence to have similar problems.

"takata recall" ? in March 2018, I was traveling westbound in a Mazda Cx-5 on an expressway in long island, New York. It was approximately 9;45 pm and the expressway was fairly empty, roads were completely clear, no rain, no snow. Out of nowhere, a speeding driver slammed into the back of my Mazda at a very high rate of speed. (she admitted to following me too closely and not being able to stop in time, so my car was hit pretty hard. On police report, she was cited for unsafe speed among other things. I was also informed the a police officer that she did not have a driver's license). My car was then thrust into the divider (where the left side approximate corner of the front of the car hit the median) in the middle of the expressway and spun quite a few times. None of the airbags ever deployed. I hit my head at least two times and I starting having neck and back pains among other injuries. Though the car had extensive extensive damages (13K was the last time I heard and the car is still not working fully properly) my insurance progressive forced me to take the car back while the other insurance company doesn't understand why the car was not totaled. I was given back the car a little over two whole months after the accident and I was told the airbags will not deploy if god forbid something else happens (the airbag light is blinking all the time), the horn does not work, and nothing on the steering wheel controls work anymore. I was told I have to bring this to Mazda's dealership directly for diagnostics. I have been told by many people that they believe my airbags malfunctioned including maximum auto body in bohemia who fixed the car and I agree considering the hard hits the car took and my injuries. I am not sure what my rights are in this situation but I feel this car is not safe. I now have to wait until June 4th to get it to the Mazda dealership.

There is a rubbing/grinding/vibration feel on the pedals and steering wheel, including the entire body vibration that can be also seen in the side mirrors. These problem are more noticeable at high speed. I suspect either the tire, brake, rotors, alignment, suspension or transmission problems. I have brought my car 6 times to three different dealership already with the guidance from Mazda corporate costumer service but they are denying my Cx-5 issues. This is pretty scary to drive, I always feel that something bad gonna happen on my car in the freeway because of rough and bumpy ride. This happened since the day I bought this. I am very disappointed with this car for 32K $. all Mazda dealership are not cooperating. Very bad experience.
