I was driving on the highway and I heard a sudden snap like sound on the windscreen, then I saw a star shaped stone chip appear on the windscreen, on the right side about an 1 inch from the side and about 7 inches from the bottom of the windscreen. I had driven no more than about 100 feet, when a crack about 12 inches was already there. My warranty covers stone chips and cracks less than 6 inches. There seem to be a defect with the cx 5 windscreens, because I have seem similar complaints by other owners in forums. Other vehicles you get a stone chip and it does not spread that quickly, at least you get a opportunity to go and get it repaired. I did not even get an opportunity to exit the highway and the stone chip had already spread in excess of 12 inches.
Both rear view mirrors vibrate at speeds in excess of 30 mph. On highways the vibrating is so intense the mirrors are nearly useless as using them can be nauseating. The driver side mirror vibrates more than the passenger side mirror, but both noticeably vibrate.
Driving on freeway a small pebble hit the far right, mid level of windshield about 3 inches from edge. I heard a loud pop sound and then a small star-shape ding appeared. Within 5 minutes the crack grew to about 2. 5 feet long.
Walked out to cracked windshield (1/4 way across vehicle) 6 months after purchased. Was told by dealer would not cover under warranty because of small nick at end of crack was thicker than dollar bill. 4 months later, discovered chip in windshield. During fix, crack protruded from chip and whole windshield had to be replaced again.
At highway speeds the driver's side mirror shakes uncontrollably, rendering it virtually useless. Cars are all but a blur at and above 55 mph. The dealer said it is a known issue (and said he submitted a TSB) and did nothing to remedy the issue. When presented with the "repair guidance" reference # r042/13a, they said it was a fix for the "european Cx-5, not the us version" and would not fix the problem.
The contact owns a 2013 Mazda cx- 5. The contact was traveling 55 mph when the driver side external mirror vibrated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 10 and the current mileage was 1500.
