so i got this 2012 Mazda CX-5 from a buddy and it’s been a ride? the turbo sometimes acts up and hesitates a bit, especially when accelerating. anyone else with this issue? heard it’s a common thing. but the radio’s been another story, doesn’t always get the station right and the volume goes bonkers on its own. did your radio act weird? and yikes, the boot lock, it got jammed one night, real pain to drag it open. anyone figure out a fix for that? brakes are super good, though. but oh, the car can drink oil like crazy, had to top it up every few weeks, not cool. mileage is decent, but wow, those little things add up, ya know? have you guys had similiar probs?
I’ve got a 2012 CX-5 in Seattle and let me tell ya, this car’s been kinda quirky. Transmission issues kept popping up and it acted up, changing gears at odd times. The brakes felt iffy after 50k miles. Plus, the infotainment system had random blackouts - super annoying, but it’s mostly been a solid ride!
I’ve owned a 2012 Mazda CX-5 in Canada for a few years, and while it’s mostly been solid, I’ve heard my fair share of complaints about the tailgate and the ECU issues. The tailgate has a mind of its own sometimes, not closing properly. Also, the ECU glitches can mess with your check engine light, but apart from that, she’s a beast on the open road. Have you faced any of these issues?
(Note: It’s always a good idea to verify any mechanical issues with a professional.)
I’ve had this 2012 Mazda CX-5 and it was great at first, but in the Midwest, I started noticing battery drain issues. Some folks mentioned transmission glitches too, especially with higher miles. The Mirasol system’s quirky sometimes – freezing or not responding right. Maybe get a good check-up on those major components if you’re in the US or Canada. Ticks me off a little!
I’ve been driving my 2012 Mazda CX-5 in Southern California, and noticed the A/C acts up often, plus the sealant leaks a bit. I’ve had to replace tires before they were worn out twice now. Definitely keep a mechanic in your contacts!
I’ve had some trouble with my 2012 Mazda CX-5 in Seattle. First, the check engine light lit up more than mood swings. Then the power windows had a mind of their own. And forget about aircon in summer—it gave up! Also, heard folks in Toronto rack up miles visiting their local Mazda dealer. Gotta love a reliable drive, right? 
I’ve owned a 2012 Mazda CX-5 in Cali for years, and my ride has been mostly solid. But man, the CVT transmission can be a headache, and I’ve had issues with the infotainment freezing too. The steering felt a bit off too, but it’s a great car overall, just needs a bit of TLC!
In Vancouver, I’ve heard lots of talk about the 2012 Mazda CX-5. Notorious for quirky idle and funky AC blows hot then cold. Breathing issues are common too. Engine warms up, your wallet gets defrosted like crazy! Ha. Driver’s seat can’t stay centered - pure laziness! Totally keeps it real, though.
I’ve had my 2012 Mazda CX-5 in Toronto for a while now, and the transmission’s been acting up. Some folks told me the timing belt is a headache too if you dun check it regularly. Definitely keep up with those maintenance schedules, or you’ll end up stranded on the side of the road like I did once. Always good to hear from peeps with their own stories about these issues, too!
I’ve had a 2012 Mazda CX-5 in Canada, and man, acted like the A/C spat ice cubes during summer—nuff said. Engine light flickers like a disco too, but otherwise idk. Feel me? Had to swap in a new CV axle once, pricey! 
But great interior, comfy rides. Double you too if you own one. Found it solid otherwise.
I’ve had experience with my 2012 Mazda CX-5 up here in Canada. So, common issues – oil leaks and transmission bugs are annoying. Mine started with a pesky knocking noise, took it all-natural only to find the turbo compressor faulty. Dealer service was hit or miss, but overall, a solid ride still. Just keep eyes on maintenance, and voilà! You’re set.
I’ve had my '12 Mazda CX-5 way up in Canada, and let me tell ya, the brakes acting up like glue is a pain. Mine went kinda mushy after a year, and those recalls did me dirty. Sedan’s slick, but under the hood, not so smooth sailing. Oil leaks ain’t rare round here too, makes you wish for a scooter sometimes. Totally a bummer but still love the ride.
Caught some quirky issues with my 2012 Mazda CX-5 up here in Canada. Crazy jump start probs and tires wearin’ out fast! Decked out though, still love the ride! 
Also, a bit of weird noise from the engine every now & then. But the fun factor’s solid! Anyone else got similar stories?
I’ve got a 2012 Mazda CX-5 up here in Canada. Had some gripes with the paint peeling and weird ticking noise from the engine. The transmission could be smoother too. Still a nice ride, but hanging tight on problems. Anyone else run into the same stuff? Let’s chat!
