So far that has been the only problem we had with the 5. Hope it stays that way.
My wife came home yesterday and told me to go have a look at the trunk of our 5.
When I opened the hatch there was water droplets everywhere
on the drivers side of the trunk.
The speaker and cover for the jack behind the rear fender wear soaked same as the floor.
The parcel tray also was soaked.
Has anyone else have/had this problem.
I contacted my service dept and was told they wouldn't see me until wed, I called back and talked to the actual dealership manager and they are now getting me in on monday.
I am not impressed, we were very impressed with this vehicle when we bought in the spring, now I don't want it.
CAN I DO THIS CHEAPER? out rageous that a new key is going be more than my monthly payment!!! :confuse:
Key Blank - $48
Transmitter - $188
Cutting the key and programming - $65-$110
you can get the key and transmitter off e-bay for $60 but you still need to have it cut (probably only the dealer) and programmed.
The Mazda5 in Canada has: "...the Easy Close sliding door system, a motorized mechanism that assists in closing the rear doors. Once either door has been manually moved so it is almost closed, the system mechanically completes the closing action – the action that typically requires the most effort on the part of the user."
I'm wondering if any of you are having the same problem with your 5. My 5's rear door locks are giving me problems. Everytime I unlock the doors with the remote, the front doors and the trunk unlock, as usual, but the rear door locks stay stuck closed. I either have to continuously press unlock on the remote to get the doors to open (though that doesn't work all the time), or I have to use the inside door lock button on the driver's door to open them (and even then they still don't open the first time).
I took it to my Mazda dealer to get my annual inspection done, and I brought this issue up. Lo and behold, as Murphy's Law in reverse would have it, the locks worked perfectly and they weren't able to "duplicate the problem". As life would have it, the very next morning, when I tried to enter my 5, the same thing happened again. Ugh!
So, are there any of you out there that can relate to this?
It seems that the anti-theft that is installed on the Mazda5 only triggers when it is already being stolen. :surprise:
The next week, of course, the rear driver's side door started the same thing-Mazda dealer wants my car for a week so they can take it apart and diagnose before they'll order the parts.
I wonder how long this fix will last...I have an '06 I got in fall '05, with about 49K. Glad I got the extended warranty.
I'll keep ya posted.
If enough people have had the same problem, I can document this and then take it to Mazda (to perhaps order a recall and fix at their expense). Is this not covered under standard 3-year warranty??
I pulled some work orders:
In June 2007 they replaced to rear door latches - a recall. That didn't fix the door lock issue.
In Nov 2007 they did this: (Quoted from the service invoice)
"20614 BCM and door lock switches need DW Found door lock switches not working, performed diagnosis, checked wire 5I from BCM and no signal found, replaced BCM and found signal from BCM blue wire, but lock not working,further diagnose and found both left and right switch internal malfunction, removed from switch from stock unit and installed in customers per customer satisfaction, found door lock working properly after repairs"
Hope that helps. My car has a new intermittent bug. None of the windows will go down. Switch becomes dead. A good wack to the drivers armrest and it works. I'm guessing a loose wire or connection.
