I thought I had the washer fluid warning problem - but turned out they just hadn't filled it at PDI. Even though fluid level doesn't look low (below the neck but clearly still some in there), it took 3-4 litres to fill to top of the neck.

Fill it up (close to top of neck) and see if the warning goes away. Seems to then last me a while before the next warning and a top up (which again took several litres).

I had Low warning few days after I picked up my car. Not constant but on/off. When I visually checked it looked like it is not even close to empty. I bought 5 litres of fluid and filled almost everything inside, maybe 0,5L left. Looks like washer fluid container is shallow and very wide which is the reason for some premature Low fluid warnings.

Edit: free tip for any Mazda devs lurking this forum. Make Low windshield fluid warning turn on after 1 minute continious sensor low position and turn it off after 30 seconds in continious not-low position.

Missed to say this on my post, I had my windscreen replaced due to chip& crack and my dealer did noise dampening on front doors (they said they did last time). Almost no windnoise for me now, far better than previous. I did a test drive on motorway (70mph) with AC off, music off and I couldn't hear any windnoise at all. I still hear a bit of road noise, but that's relatively low.

Very minor issue but the handbook talks about hanging the charger cable bag from hooks on the right of the luggage area but I can't find any. Am I missing something or just being stupid?

There is something in the manual about that ? I used two anchor points behind rear seats and bag is secured in the middle of the trunk behind seats. Bag belt is exact lenght to connect to both points.

 

[Oxonian]

It's on page 5-116 of the manual. I found the anchor points you mention Neven so I'll give that a go. Thanks.

Hi all, new here. I've received my brand new Mazda CX60 exclusive in the UK, now a week old. I also have a KF CX5 for reference. Shame to see so many issues here, and given mines fresh off the production line I'll add the issues I face. Driver and rear view mirror wobble/vibration at motorway speeds, hard occasional gear shifts, reversing judder, a stranger heavy wobble sound at low speeds over bumpy terrain, rattle from upper passenger dash vent, rattle from upper centre dashboard, scratching noise occasionally on 1st to 2nd gear change, occasional grindind from OSF suspension at low speed on half to full lock and the usual ejector seat suspension over deep bumps. Can't believe the issues with the CX60, the CX5 was so so well sorted in all areas

Sounds like they installed it better than the factory did - mine has tonnes of wind noise from front pillars, good news for you!

That sounds rubbish, the issues normally take a fair few miles before they start appearing..make a list, back to the dealers, but please keep us posted on what they do/how/if they fix all of them.

Ejector seat suspension - yes! great analogy (but do check your tyre pressures,Ive seen some cars being sent to the customer with 45PSI in them all round, 36PSI is the recommended, but I think 38PSI is best allround to mitigate some of the worst aspects of the passive dampers). I think due to the vehicle being fitted with car tyres and not SUV specific ones, and the passive struts, it is very sensitive to tyre pressures.

Thanks. Yeah it's a bit concerning this early on, the car now has 367 miles on the clock and the only new issues since 0 miles are the heavy rattle/oscillating sound from the rear left over rough terrain and the 2 dash rattles. Everything else has been there from the start. And yeah the tyre pressures were 45psi all round on delivery, and I lowered them to 36psi all round. Didn't really notice much /any difference TBH. I am surprised they've dropped the ball here given all they knew from years of CX5 refinement. I'm going to clock up some more miles to allow any other issues to show up before engaging Mazda for resolutions. I did speak to the local dealership and they apparently never heard of any mirror wobble complaints but said of the 8 CX60s they'd sold, 6 had been returned

I second @Southeastern - report every single fault, in writing.

That's absolutely ridiculous!!

I missed that you have the Exclusive, 18" wheels with Yokohama tyres? boy you should try the suspension on the 20's and Bridgestones on the Homura and Takumi if you want to experience true bouncing

The dash certainly does start to get more rattly as you go on - I think if you live in an area with particularly bad roads with lots of speed bumps, pot holes and cracks, as I do, the car basically starts to shake itself apart because of the firmness of the suspension, there is no small bump compliance in the passive damper so all the impact shock goes through the chassis, dash, panels etc and over time it just bashes away at the materials and fixings. It's probably not as noticeable if you live somewhere with good quality open A roads and only see a speed bump once a day.

The mirror wobble is fairly common, but it's interesting to hear about the returns, I heard a similar story with the PHEV at my dealer to the point where they had stopped recommending them, but no real news as yet on how the diesel is fairing, although they have said they wont put up any objection to me rejecting the car (diesel). This forum only sees a small amount of what I've had to put up with on both CX60's Ive owned!

Definitely make a list, and keep it updated and send a new copy to the dealer service manager every time something new appears. I began documenting everytime the car had its Low 12V issue or others, taking photos and videos and sending them all at the time to the service manager at the time. No stone unturned so they can't say they had not been informed.

 

[Southeastern]

I think this is why there are and have been over the year, so many used CX60s on Autotrader with a few thousand miles on the clock that arent ex-demonstrators. The dealers either fixed them or sell them on hoping the next customer just lives with it flaws. Less consumer rights in a used car purchase as I found on the PHEV.

Yes it's got the 18" wheels with Yokohamas, can only imagine it's ride on bigger wheels. I live on the Kent coast with pretty awful roads and yes presume the constant jolts are loosening the dash fixings enough to rattle. The CX5 is on 19" wheels now 74k miles and not a rattle anywhere. I've had a new RX8 also, so am definitely a strong brand supporter between Mazda and the Alfa romeos I've had but I'm a bit stumped on this one as to what Mazda has done here. Even the split rear upper seat bench is a concern for me over the build, it's just so floppy as there's no upper middle connection. It's the same design in the CX5 but in that model the seats far more rigid. I presume this is weight saving, but stuff like that and the complete total of 0 fixings on the foam under the boot floor just feels like corners have been cut on quality

Funnily, I was down in Dungeness and towards Rye a few days ago, and the A roads were pretty bad and the car was such an uncomfortable mess. It was one of those juxtaposed situations for me, as the diesel engine, was absolutely sublime on the trip it made me grin every time I put my foot down, but that was quickly erased by the comfort and the jolting - think 70's Mk1 Golf on Chinese coilovers slammed to the floor with 18" wheels and you get a close idea!

There's been quite a of of areas of cost cutting - zero sound proofing in the car is one. I guess all cars do have to be built to a price, but its the real minor stuff they got wrong is what baffles me.

In Poland on 'autotrader' there are 19 phevs and 2 diesels with a few thousands km.

Ah you would have been a stones throw from my house then! Oh I completely forgot the most annoying issue, TomTom via android auto wired to my P30 pro constantly freezes and crashes which it has never done once in the CX5. Tried new decent cables, uninstalled and reinstalled the app which resoled for a couple of days... So annoying. All other AA apps are fine though

In the UK, 84 cars currently used, 120 brand new, but its been as high as 320 combined this past year as I've been monitoring.

Ah, yes, I can understand about your roads then! Lovely place to live though !

Is there an advantage of using TomTom software over Google Maps?

It is a nice place, just the roads are pants!

The tomtom software has better speed cameras, displays the current GPS speed and I find the navigation instructions clearer and easier to understand. That said, google maps frame rate and real time positioning is more fluid
