  3. The NHTSA website has the TSB for the CX-70/90. The CX-60 probably isn't different.
  4. It is doable, and when I remember to do it, it works well.
  5. When using Google Maps for "typing," the knob isn't accessible, but voice input is reliable.
  6. It may be rail dust, which is evident on white cars and is frequent with Mazda. To remove it, a clay bar is required. You now know the answer if it is compatible with clay.
  7. Make sure there is no damage if the lug nuts are loose enough to make a noise. To ensure that the wheel holes have not been chewed up or ovalled, remove each wheel that is affected and inspect all of the studs.
  8. Adapts its speed to that of the car? Everything from the wheels and axles to the brakes, differential, driveshaft and gearbox is part of the drivetrain. I would highly recommend towing. In the event that an issue arises, the dealer will not be able to blame you for driving recklessly or making matters worse. (I wouldn't take the chance that they may, but it doesn't mean they definitely would.) It may be something as insignificant as an object caught in a moving component. A steel cable got stuck on my wife's driveshaft years ago when she was passing over something. Out of nowhere, "thump thump, thump"—exactly as you said. I don't know what the odds of that happening again are, but here's hoping it's something nearly that easy for you.
  9. I spotted two 2023 CX30 Preferred models that came with a sunroof credit, which means they are preferred packages without a sunroof, when I was shopping around for my new car in January of that year, during a parts scarcity.
  10. Excuse me, but no. As near as I can tell, the front radar failed to pick up any objects. And it was a sunny day, too. As far as anyone can tell, it only occurred once. I am unsure as to whether your problem would trigger any codes or not. It might be a good thing to look into.
  11. There are no outstanding recalls on this vehicle, according to my pre-purchase check of the vehicle identification number on Mazda's website. Carfax also shows that routine maintenance was done. I took a chance and had it done after purchase, while the vehicle was still under warranty, because a licensed Mazda dealer was booked for two weeks before I ever made the purchase.
  12. purchased a pre-owned 2025 CX-90 MHEV (not certified pre-owned) from a dealership that is not affiliated with Mazda. When I bought the automobile, it had approximately 27,000 miles on the odometer and was built in July 2024. I'd like to bring it in for an examination at an authorised Mazda dealer, even though I've put an extra 1,000 miles on it since purchasing it and haven't seen any problems yet (apart from the brakes screeching every so often). I am crossing my fingers that Mazda will pay to fix it as it is still under the bumper-to-bumper warranty and any problems that haven't shown up yet can be discovered with a comprehensive inspection. Since I haven't detected any problems (apart from the brake squeal), I'm wondering what the best course of action is. In order to have it towed to the dealership for a comprehensive inspection, do I need to "make up an issue"? Or should I simply bring it in and explain that I didn't buy it from a Mazda dealer and that it needs a thorough check (basically the same kind of inspection a CPO gets)? Additionally, is there anything unique about my year, manufacture, and construction date that the dealer should be aware of? I am grateful.
  13. You should also bring a tool to loosen the wheel bolts. I got a tire space saver and a jack, and I also got an extension wrench with several sockets to put in the trunk. Definitely preferable to that four-way cross wheel nut thing.
  14. If they barely last 15,000 miles, it might not be worth it to rotate them. Unfortunately, their unusual breadth of 275 makes them unusable. There is a dearth of reasonably priced alternatives.
