um not only am I senior member but you are not reading my advice as an ASE ( specifically and current ASE Master Automotive Technician for over 30+ years) with decades of experience. As well I also am qualified to do warranty service with a few auto manufactures including MAZDA.
And as you have not posted your service information which in your case would be helpful to see what actually happened all we have is a dissatisfied Mazda owner with their dealership?
If you don't like the answer, please don't disregard my responses in trying to help you
I will point out if this is your attitude and you did this dance at a dealership I can understand them not wanting to be more helpful!

BTW most ALL automotive forums are DIY and owners not professionals in the automotive business in any capacity. So sure you can find a member that will rally to your side but that does not mean the information is imperial, factual or anything but another member and a complaint unsupported by any information except their side of the story. Service documentation is the best place to get the real facts.?

As a long time member and know what the term HIJACKING A THREAD is defined as I posted as a polite gesture for the original topic of this thread and the OP that started this thread and based on how you are responding very defensively, suggested you start your own thread?

Maybe you might get a welcome to the forum from a member or 2 IDK? ha!

Hi Guys, yes im having the same problems with my 2014 cx5 diesel regarding the blowing of coolant back through the motor. I brought this car for my daughter earlier this year from a reputable used car dealership and have had it back to them 4 times now. The most recent fix they replaced the radiator nearly 8 weeks ago and everything was going fine until last night. overheated again and spewed coolant through the engine bay. I was hoping for some clarification regarding radiator caps
1, the reservoir was very full, way up past the full mark on the side of the reservoir, about 30mm from the top of the cap. radiator took 1 litre of coolant and could do with some more. this is the question i have. should you be able to blow through the hose from the reservoir back to the radiator unimpeded? if the cap is on you cannot do this but if you loosen the cap you can blow back into the radiator. I am reading a lot about dodgy radiator caps and was just eliminating possible causes. the service manager will come and get the car again tomorrow, poor bugger, and hopefully sort out the problem
The dealership has been extremely good about this but i feel if this doesn't get sorted this time I will have to go down the ugly road of a refund.
thanks guys any advice would be greatly appreciated

Just experiencing same issue. The car has 185.000km the turbo was replaced for a new one at 120.000 km for 50% of original part so 1700 euro in Germany.. and now this.. I have got gasses in coolant and it's bleeding water coolant all over the engine. The estimated repair cost at mazda is around


4000 euros :/ just for head gasket.

Hi, I have a 2013 cx5. short version is our bypass pipe broke and was replaced. within weeks the car faulted again with coolant all over the top of the motor. took to mazda and told head gasket or head. 2 months later told they wouldnt fix or replace head or engine. apparently not a vehicle fault but an overheating issue.
which mazda dealer did you go through. only 126000k so i think mazda issue. did you have any more info about the replacement process, did you have to go to mazda directly. thanks murray

You already started a thread asking the same questions so yes you are Hijacking a thread. You will btw only get the same answers anyway. So maybe go reread your own thread .
https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/new...-gasket-55347/

btw did you read how many years since the first topic response on this thread was from the op?

hundreds or thousand of class action suits are filed and are never started because the law office seldom gets enough participation. Go learn about class action suits. And good luck with that? And forget a civil suit because that generally starts at the basic fee to file 5-7 grand . So might as well go learn about civil suits as well. As for lemon laws they don’t apply to your issue. To many miles and you purchased used and added to many more miles.
Honestly dude no one is going to be able to do anything except blow smoke up your **** just to stop you from not excepting that sheet happens at times when you buy a used vehicle .

Little update after repair. I have done my mazda in Poland in Kraków and it costed me around 2.5k euros compared to Germany it would be probs 4k so I have saved a lot only in compensation.. but it took the guy 4 months to figure out what's going on.. he has had replaced the head gasket and also sanded head but it didn't work after 2 trys.. so he has had replaced the head to new one and to save he has ordered it through FORD as its their part of car 😆 so I guess I if did go direct and tell him to replace the top of the engine and the head gasket it would cost me less maybe 1.6-2k max
( after the repair now 2 months car is flying like new one )
