Windows keep freezing shut. Never have owned a vehicle that has had this issue. This is not only an inconvenience trying to swipe a rfid card to get into a secure parking facility but a major safety issue should there be an emergency that requires the window to be rolled down (I. E. To escape sinking car, make contact with leo, etc). The vehicle has been brought to the dealer and they didn't find anything wrong. Its been happening since the vehicle was new.
Sudden windshield cracking 11-14-2018 our 2018 cx5 has 7500 miles and driving at night with very little traffic on the freeway in southern California the windshield just cracked from the center down approx. 5 inches , there is no sign that it was hit by a stone or rock . I have owned a 2015 Mazda cx5 and the same problem happened with that vehicle. I have been following Mazda forums and finding out there are many people throughout the country experiencing this same issue . There is no bullet hole type mark to indicate a stone or rock hit windshield.
New car with 500 miles. Parked car in a parking lot and the next morning there was a chip and crack about 6 inches long on the windshield. Did something hit it like a rock? maybe, but the windshield seems to crack easier than normal based on all the complaints online.
