Hi all,

I have a KE CX5 Maxx Sport, (Jan 17 manufactured), AWD, 2.5l petrol that I purchased new in Sept 17.
I have noticed a clicking noise that comes from time to time.
My driveway is steep and up hill, I usually drive up but when I reverse up it, I hear a single "click" if I have the window open.
At times, if I am driving along with the window open and there is one of those 1 metre high concrete barriers as the dividing wall between the on coming traffic, I sometimes hear a "click" (no doubt the click noise bouncing off the concrete wall)
I will be taking it back for it's 10k service soon and will ask, but has anyone else encountered these click noises?

Thanks

 

At what point of your reversing maneuver do you hear the single click?

How often do you hear the click bouncing off the concrete wall?

My driveway is concrete and steep up hill, approx 40 metres long.
The click usually happens about half way reversing up the drive, which is the steepest part.

The concrete barrier I drive next to is along a flat section of road which then gradually goes uphill.
It is irregular, but may occur once or twice over the length of the wall (say 500 metres in length)

If I have the drivers window closed, I cannot hear it, so I do need to drive more with the window down to listen

Whilst far from a car expert, I have been reading how the power coupler works on these AWD's, driven by electromagnets, wondering if it is this which is clicking off and on (assuming that is the manner that they work)

I brought an used 2014 CX-5 at 2015 when it have 25000 miles on the car. Yes, I have the same noise when I keep window open and hear the click noise all the time when I back my car from my drive way ( slowly ). I can't hear the noise at higher speed.
Since it is still at warranty, I been asking Mazda do 2 time check about the "click" noise - no answer for it. Final, before the car close with 36K bump-to-bump warranty, I send in again, this time , the dealer asking me to pay the diagnostic fee ( $60 or $80) if the car with no issue. They spend almost an hour and find their have an bad bearing ( may be from the control arm) .
Dealer order the part ... I went back and replace the part then the noise is gone without pay anything.
Hop this help.

 

Could be something in the exhaust heating up?

 

For my case, The noise happen after I backward my car from garage driveway. and Mazda been locate the problem and fix it with an $10 part. I don't think it relate with exhaust heating.

 

I have a 2016.5 GT and when my window is open about 7 or 8 inches, I hear a clicking sound. If I grab the window, it moves a bit and the clicking stops. If your window all the way down?

 

My clicking noise is come from my car suspension system, not from window. open window just allow we hear the clicking noise from out the car.
