“Bought my car with 40k miles on it from a Mazda dealership in aurora colorado in 2017. I'm at 106k now and I thought I needed wheel bearings on the front driver side tire. Turns out it's the drive train and a transmission failing. My vehicle hums on the front driver side when I accelerate. This issue began just over 100k miles.”

“I first started hearing this screeching noise back in may 2015, after which I took it to the dealership thinking whatever it was could be covered under warranty. They came back saying that it was due to not having any rear brake pads left and my rotors were severely damaged. Unfortunately, this was due to normal wear and tear and not covered under warranty. After fixing this, in august 2015, I started to hear the noise again. Took it back to the same dealership complaining about the same noise. This time, they stated that it was my front brake pads. Got this fixed as well. …”

“I have had continuous issues with all four of my wheel bearings. After one went bad, I had to replace it. Two weeks later, I had to replace a second one, and then the final two wheel bearings had to be replace only a week after that. Upon taking it to one mechanic, I was told that this is a frequent problem with the Mazda CX-5, and they get a lot of owners that come in to repair this issue. I did some research on my own, and realized that what the mechanic had told me was true. Apparently, a lot of Mazda owners are having this issue. …”
