Are there any problems with the Mazda5 GS?
It still continues to do it every couple of days, or so. We have the 2007 Mazda5 GS since Oct. 2006 and so far I found two issues with it: 1) the brakes squeal under cold temperature. Spoke to the service advisor at the dealership and he said other people had made similar complains.
What’s the manual mode on a Mazda 5?
If you move the shifter to the left you will be in Manual mode. Move the shifter down (+) to shift up one gear and move it up (-) to shift down one gear. So you can manually shift if you like. I’ve played with the feature but have no real need for it though perhaps if I lived in a hilly area it might be useful.
Why does my Mazda 5 have a hesitation?
My Mazda 5 is an automatic and I notice the acceleration is not as responsive or smooth.

This hesitation usually occurs at about 2900-3000 rpm when going from 90kmh to 110kmh.

The wire is red and slightly thicker than the others that leave the fuse box, it attaches to the solenoid on the starter motor via a spade connection. The connection is often loose and corroded and a simple clean up with abrasive paper and a tightening by gently squeezing the female connector with pliers before refitting will solve the issue.

What to do when your car won’t start?
Correcting most no-start problems usually involves replacing the alternator, starter or battery, cleaning connections, ignition system repairs, or fuel system repairs. But because there are so many potential causes, the diagnosis is key to understanding how expensive the repair will be. When a vehicle doesn’t start it can be for many reasons.
