Safety & Tech

Common Problem

Transmission Issues

The transmission problems in recent MX-5 models, particularly from 2022 onwards, have been a concern for some owners. Reports indicate issues with both manual and automatic transmissions, though manual transmissions are generally considered reliable due to their long-standing technology. Some users have experienced transmission lockouts, such as being unable to shift into third gear, which necessitated replacements under warranty. It's important to consider the type of engine and model year, as the 2.0 engine has had more reported issues compared to the 1.5.

Engine Reliability

While not specific to the MX-5, Mazda's turbocharged engines have had their share of reliability concerns. Earlier models faced head gasket issues due to the turbo, which Mazda addressed by redesigning the engine head. There were also reports of leaking valve stem seals in 2021 models. However, many users find these engines durable if properly maintained ,.

Infotainment System Glitches

Owners of newer MX-5 models have reported issues with the infotainment system, where music playback becomes erratic, affecting radio and Apple CarPlay functions. Troubleshooting steps like reinstalling apps or rebooting devices and systems haven't always resolved these issues. A simple fix suggested was removing the GPS card, which might reset certain functionalities.

Older Models and Sensor Failures

For older MX-5 models, such as the NB (2000), common problems include loss of power potentially linked to failing coil packs or sensors like the cam angle sensor or crank angle sensor , ,. These issues can cause intermittent power loss and rough idling.

Recommendations

When considering a Mazda MX-5, especially newer models, it's advisable to check the vehicle's history for any transmission replacements or engine-related recalls. For infotainment issues, consulting with a dealer for software updates might be beneficial. If purchasing an older model, ensure that essential components like sensors and coil packs are inspected and replaced if necessary.
