I thought of one other question. If I have to take my CX-5 into the dealership to fix the auto mirror problem, is there some procedure they use to get it working (that maybe I could try). Or is a matter of replacing a defective part? Has anybody had the same problem and had to resort to the dealership?

 

I thought I had a problem with my driver's side mirror not auto-closing completely on door-locking. I say thought because a couple of weeks ago I decided to re-enable the auto-close-on-locking feature. Voila! Now both mirrors close and re-open perfectly. Cannot take it to the dealer if they are both working perfectly. Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to wait until one or both mirrors decide to act up again and partially close. Still have a year on the new car warranty.

I do not know if the dealers have some sort of classified procedure to try to get a non or partially-functioning mirror working. TSB 09-011/20 does not mention any alternate aside from verifying the problem exists and replacing the part.

Was just about ready to make an appointment with the local Mazda dealer, but decided to try and re-enable the folding side mirrors just one more time. This time it worked! I have no idea why since I had tried the same routine at least a dozen times. Oh well, my warranty expires in December. Guess the mirrors will continue to work until January.

I can't explain it either. Crazy (for both of us). I am not going to waste time thinking about it. I have kept my auto-folding enabled and to date they've been fine (if I haven't jinxed this!).

 

That's because your car has been waiting for you to comment on that. Now, wait until the first cold spell next year.

 

Shhhhh, I didn't tell it yet!
