Mazda CX-5

"Connection between Apple phone and navigation system is randomly lost. Can't reconnect until car is stopped and placed in Park. This is a real problem when navigating in unfamiliar territory."

"It has been something that happens a couple times a month and seems to only occur when I am stopped at a traffic light."

"The radio would switch stations on its on and the GPS screen would rotate. It only happened at stops as the touch screen is locked out while driving. I found out the problem is called "ghost touch" the vehicle was out of warranty so I purchased the screen repair kit from an online Mazda parts dealer. After watching a YouTube video the screen replacement wasn't difficult and I was able to replace it in about 40 minutes sitting in the driveway with just routine hand tools."

"Ghost touch- radio changed stations without me - changed to GPS navigation, Sirius, etc without me touching controls at all. 2 visits to dealership - ultimately replacement of screen seems to have resolved it."

"We experienced functionality issues multiple times. The dealership finally replaced the display screen."

"Display switches from radio to other modes uncommanded."

"Display would change between screen."

"Intermittent screen changes when traveling. Usually jumps from radio to navigation. Sometimes changes navigation screen view ."

"Periodically, I would notice that the radio would suddenly start scanning stations. It might take a few minutes to stop but might stop at a station not of my choosing. It would do this without me touching the radio or controls. When mentioned to the service person at the Mazda dealership they said it was called "ghosting" and it would cost about $1,000.00 to repair. I chose not to do anything about this. It's a nuisance but not worth $1,000 to fix at this time."

"The screen and radio will start to randomly skip around. Sometimes the volume will randomly turn up to the maximum level in addition to the stations skipping around"

"Random failure of the Link with Xm/Sirus satellite download when starting the car."

"The radio / display will change stations, settings, and visuals without owner input, not often but several times a year"

"About 6 months ago, the radio began and continues to randomly change stations, screen changes to display a "dial" image. Dealership said a new screen system is required, no other resolution is offered. All updates were researched at the dealership and all are, according to the dealer, up to date."

"As mentioned the screen and entertainment system will jump around. It occurs at least a few times per week. It started about a year and a half ago. Though it is a common problem, Mazda won't do anything to fix it unless I pay for the replacement module."

"Memory problems with "favorite stations" Forgets them. Forgets what station you were on when the engine is started."

"Random switching of channels, volume, navigation, etc. According to the dealer it is a common problem with Mazda's. My first Mazda dealer played dumb and wanted to charge me even though I had problems from the very beginning."

"it has a mind of its own concerning station selection."

"When iPhone connected to car and CarPlay in use, if you use the phone for something else, the radio forgets what its source is. You have to switch out of CarPlay into music and you see that neither AM,FM or Sirius is selected."

"Had to replace pads after 18000 miles. Routine driving."

"Rear brakes wore out prior to 50K service."

"Back brakes were sticking. On vacation. We went to a Mazda dealer where the provided a temporary repair and we had the brakes fixed when we returned home."

"The rotors were replaced at 80,000 miles and again within 5,000 miles because they were vibrating upon braking."

"Rear brake rotor prematurely corroded so badly that it was quickly wearing out the break pads. Same brakes were originally replaced at 18,000 Km."

"Squeaking began at 30k front breaks. Dealer says fine cant locate. The problem persists."

"The original brakes never squeaked, but after the brakes were replaced at 80,000 miles they have squeaked continuously. I have been to the dealer three (3) times for this problem and they cannot fix it. They keep assuring me there is no premature brake wear but I am skeptical. It is annoying and embarrassing driving because they squeak all the time."

"Engine was ticking and heads had to be changed."

"The head needed to be rebuilt"
