What owners report
The contact owns a 2019 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated that the infotainment system occasionally turned off independently, preventing the radio and GPS from operating as intended. The contact stated that while driving, the voice assistant feature repeatedly activated at a very high volume, prompting the contact to attempt to mute the sound while operating the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with radio system ghosting. The system was reprogrammed; however, the failure worsened. The failure mileage was 37,000.
7 year old vehicle purchased new 2/23/2019 with 80,000 miles driven. Rear of cylinder head has cracked causing an oil leak. Leaking engine oil dripping directly on the exhaust components creates an immediate, severe under hood fire risk and visibility hazard while driving.

I purchased a used 2019 Mazda CX-5 in 2024, with 25,000 miles on it. In June of 2026 I started to have an oil leak.

This has been an issue with Mazdas in the 2018 to 2022 range for the CX-5s, and Mazda knowingly has put in faulty parts and is not willing to
1. January 2025 Diagnosis (Inside Powertrain Warranty): I presented the vehicle (2019 Mazda CX5, 36K miles) with severe transmission jerking and shift lurching at a local Mazda dealership. Technicians diagnosed teh issue as described in TSB 05-004/23 and applied a software flash to the PCM/TCM stated in TSB 05-004/23. Mazdaâs oô¯icial text states the root cause of this symptom is torque fluctuation and torsional resonance within the torque converter. 2. Current Symptom (Defect Manifestation): The vehicle now exhibits the distinct upshift chirp detailed in TSB 05-005/23 (NHTSA ID MC-10246127-0001). Mazdaâs documentation states the root cause of this chirp is excessive wear of the lock-
