Looking for thoughts, experience, input... I've had my CX-5 for about 3 weeks, and had a wickedly annoying sound at the left driver's side (see my other post for the solution). As that was getting worse, there started to be a lot of excess creaking and vibration coming from the right side dashboard and door. Obviously worse over bumps, and seems to get worse at higher speeds.

At first I thought it just might be the settling of the molded plastic dash, or the vibration of the side mirror, but it has become a little much.

Any other similar experiences, solutions, remedies?

 

None in first 1300 miles.

 

Nothing I've noticed in 1600 miles. (I have the Sport manual like you.)

 

I've got 6500 mi now and I have noticed something going on in both the far left driver's side dash and the driver's door. It's only on some roads, at some speeds.

I'm obsessive about noises, so I haven't been assertive at the dealer yet. I might go in myself just for fun.

If anyone has a link to the service manual, let me know. I'll get in there and see what's up.

 

There is a known fault which has recently shown up in RH drive CX5s here in New Zealand. Its a problem with two layers of body/frame steel squeaking/groaning against each other. There is a Tech Bulletin out for it, but I haven't read it yet.

This maybe your problem. Contact your local Mazda dealer. I'm guessing you get 3yrs warranty on new cars in your country?
