Common Problem
Transmission Issues
Several owners of the 2019 Mazda CX-5 have reported transmission problems, including slipping, hesitation, and jerky shifting. These issues often occur during acceleration or when driving uphill. Some users have attempted solutions such as resetting the transmission learning and draining and refilling the transmission fluid, which reportedly helped improve the situation.
Electrical and Sensor Malfunctions
The 2019 CX-5 seems to be prone to various electrical issues, including multiple warning lights and malfunctions related to the smart brake system, front camera sensor, keyless system, ABS, and power steering. In many cases, these issues were resolved by replacing the battery, suggesting that a drained or faulty battery can cause widespread electrical problems.
Cylinder Head Issues
Some 2019 CX-5 models have experienced cylinder head issues due to casting problems, leading to coolant leaks and engine smoke. This problem may require significant repairs, but some users have successfully negotiated extended warranties for these specific repairs.
Suspension and Steering Concerns
There are reports of unusual noises coming from the suspension system, particularly near the front wheel. While initially suspected to be lower arm damage, it was later identified as a strut issue. It's recommended to have such issues professionally diagnosed to avoid unnecessary part replacements.
General Advice for Owners
For those experiencing persistent issues, it's advisable to consult with a dealership or Mazda corporate for further assistance. Some users have found success in escalating their concerns through corporate channels. Additionally, regular maintenance and timely replacement of parts like batteries can prevent or resolve many common problems.
