The 2022 Mazda CX-5 is one the most popular models in this very popular group, representing a great value in a stylish package that is a joy to drive and delivers excellent performance. Let's take a closer look at what makes the new Mazda CX-5 so appealing. A Buyer's Guide to the 2022 Mazda CX-5 Basics About the Mazda CX-5 for 2022 The Mazda CX-5 continues to lead the pack in the compact crossover SUV segment, as the 2022 model adds a stylish exterior design refresh to exceptional ride and handling characteristics that have only gotten better. The standard version of this five-seater features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that reaches 187 horsepower, which can be upgraded to a turbo-4 that pushes 227 hp. Both versions are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Noticeable bodywork changes make for a simple and sporty appearance, matched by upscale interior materials that are usually found in more expensive models.

All CX-5 models now come with all-wheel drive, and new drive mode settings provide the option for customizable handling and behavior that capitalizes on suspension improvements.

Even the highest-quality brakes need to be regularly serviced. Brake failure accounts for over 300,000 road accidents per year and the lion's share of these crashes are due to poorly maintained brakes. So let's take a look at how often you should visit your local Mazda dealer for brake service, plus a few significant signs that your brakes need to be inspected right away. How Often Should You Get Routine Brake Service? Have a Bi-Yearly Inspection The easiest brake inspection schedule for most drivers to follow is once every six months. This frequency is recommended for most drivers and coincides nicely with the recommended schedule for a tire rotation and oil change. Some drivers opt for a yearly brake inspection, but it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your brakes. A more frequent inspection will catch problems early on and prevent them from developing into something more dangerous to you and your passengers. more Severe Driving Conditions Your driving style or conditions might be putting more strain on your brakes, in which case you should have your brakes serviced more often. Frequent driving with heavy loads or while towing a trailer puts a great deal more strain on your brakes. Constant braking due to heavy stop-and-go traffic or winding mountainous roads also causes brakes to wear down far faster. Signs That Your Brakes Need Immediate Attention Along with regular servicing, it's important to keep an eye out for brake trouble. If you notice any of the following four problems, head to your local dealership for a prompt brake inspection. Leaking Brake Fluid Leaking brake fluid is a very serious issue. The hydraulic pressure inside your brake lines will be reduced by a leak, reducing the strength of your brakes. If you have a leak, you'll find it harder to stop your car, and you might also notice a yellow or brown liquid pooling under your vehicle. Brake Fade While pressing on the pedal, if your braking feels sluggish, you might also be experiencing brake fade. This is where the brake pads and rotors have become overheated by too much continual use and have lost their gripping power. If you ever experience brake fade, pull over and allow your brakes to cool down. Once back on the road, if your brakes still feel sluggish, head to your local dealership right away. High-Pitched Squealing The first mechanical part of any braking system to break down is usually the brake pads. These pads wear down a little each time they clamp the rotors to slow your vehicle. When they wear down to dangerous levels, brake pads will begin to emit an unmissable high-pitched squealing sound to let you know it's time for replacements. Brake Warning Light Blinking If you're driving the sophisticated 2022 Mazda 3 Sedan, or any other Mazda model, you'll have a brake warning light on your dashboard. The sensitive computerized monitors in your braking mechanism will usually detect a problem long before you do, and let you know with this warning light. If you notice the light come on, it's best not to ignore it. Head down to your local dealership to have your brakes inspected right away. How a Mazda Dealer Inspects Your Brakes After checking your brake fluid levels, a technician will examine all the brake lines and then raise your car to have a look underneath. They'll remove the wheels, and also remove the brake calipers, rotors, and pads. They'll inspect each individual piece with care, repairing or replacing any faulty parts. Finally, they'll test your brakes extensively to ensure all is working well. Have your brakes examined and serviced today by certified technicians at Tom Bush Mazda. We're a trusted local dealership that's been providing for the purchasing and servicing needs of the region's Mazda drivers since 1974.

A new car purchase is a big decision, and like all big financial decisions, it is important to be educated as a potential buyer. This is also the case with the new car warranty offered by a Mazda dealer. Every new Mazda comes with a manufacturer's warranty that covers repairs in the unlikely event that your vehicle needs repairs during the first few years of ownership. Let's take a closer look at the warranty provided by Mazda on new vehicle purchases. more What's Included in a New Car Warranty at a Mazda Dealer? Mazda offers two basic warranties with all new car purchases. The New-Vehicle Limited Warranty, and a powertrain warranty. Also, Mazda offers an anti-corrosion warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, and excellent extended warranty options. These warranties help give the buyer of new vehicles peace of mind that they will not end up with a hefty repair bill during the first few years of ownership. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty The Mazda New-Vehicle Limited Warranty is valid for 3 years or 36,000 miles. This warranty covers all costs of repairing or replacing components that have malfunctioned due to factory defects or faulty workmanship. This warranty covers most components of the car including most electrical components. Please keep in mind that the warranties offered by Mazda are based on following the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. The New-Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover parts that wear out due to normal usage. This includes parts like tires, spark plugs, oil filters, windshield wiper blades, light bulbs, and other components that need to be replaced from time to time. Mazda does offer additional coverages that do cover some of these components for some time. Also, most tires are covered through the tire manufacturer's coverage. The Powertrain Warranty The second basic warranty that comes with a new Mazda is the powertrain warranty. This warranty is good for 5 years or 60,000 miles, which is the industry standard. The powertrain warranty covers the specific components of the car that deliver power to the wheels. This includes the engine, transmission, driveshaft or drive belt, transaxle, differential, and other components that make the vehicle drive. The powertrain warranty also does not cover parts that need to be replaced due to normal operation. The powertrain warranty, as well as the New-Vehicle Limited Warranty, is transferable during the covered period. This warranty is intended to give additional coverage for the most expensive components of the car and is dependent on following the recommended maintenance schedule. Additional Coverage In addition to the basic warranties, Mazda offers several additional warranties for new vehicles. The anti-corrosion warranty covers rust to the metal that occurs from the inside out. This warranty is good for 5 years and unlimited miles. Corrosion or rust that occurs due to damage will be excluded under this warranty. Brake pads may also be covered in certain situations, but the owner will typically be responsible for installation costs. Mazda offers one of the industry's best extended warranty programs in the industry. These warranties are available in comprehensive bumper-to-bumper coverage, and powertrain coverage. These plans can be tailored to the buyer's wishes in many cases with available 9-year and 100,000-mile terms. These plans will typically involve a deductible for covered repairs. When buying a new vehicle it is easy to overlook the warranty and just enjoy the ride. Don't worry, our friendly sales staff can help you understand your coverage and available options. Come on down to Tom Bush Mazda for a test drive and to speak to our knowledgeable staff.

Whenever you press the brake pedal, your brake pads do the work of stopping your car by clamping onto the rotors. Each time they do so, they become a little bit more worn down and eventually need replacing. Here are six clear signs that you should visit your local Mazda dealer for new braking pads. more When Should You Change Your Brake Pads? You Experience Brake Fade The most urgent indicator that your pads need inspection and probable replacement is if you experience brake fade. Brake fade is where the components of your braking mechanism are no longer creating the friction necessary to promptly slow and stop your vehicle. You press down on the pedal and find your braking sluggish and unresponsive. Needless to say, it's a disconcerting experience. Brake fade occurs when you're braking constantly, which can create an excess buildup of heat in the pads and rotors. This overheating alone can lead to brake fade, and it only gets worse if the resin in the pads begins to melt. Driving conditions that lead to this kind of overheating include stop-and-go traffic with constant braking and also winding, hilly roads with plenty of sharp turns and downhill stretches. You Hear Squealing or Squeaking The pads in your braking system have a steel base and an upper high-friction layer. The friction layer is made from a compound of materials, including various metals, ceramics, and minerals, all held together by resin. Each time you brake, a minuscule amount of the friction layer is scraped away. When the friction layer is almost gone, modern pads are designed to emit a high-pitched squealing or squeaking sound to let you know it's time for new pads. You Hear Grinding If you ever hear grinding when you brake, then you need to replace your pads with some urgency. This is because the friction layer is all but gone and you're hearing metal scraping directly on metal. At this point, continued braking will start to damage your rotors, leading to far more expensive repairs. You Feel Vibrations If you feel vibrations while braking, either through the pedal or the steering wheel, then you need to have your brakes inspected. Vibrations point to a warped or damaged rotor, which will reduce your stopping power and cause uneven wear in your pads. In this case, you'll likely need to replace a rotor or two, and possibly your pads as well. Your Mazda Dealer Finds a Flaw It's recommended for Mazda drivers to have their brakes inspected once every six months. For convenience, you can coincide this with having your tires rotated. Oftentimes, an experienced technician at your local dealership will identify problems with your pads long before you would have noticed them on your own. 65,000 Miles Have Passed Pads are the components of a braking system that most often need replacing. They usually last from 25,000 to 65,000 miles, depending on their quality and usage. So if you find yourself nearing 65,000 miles since your last pad replacement, it's probably time to get new ones before any of the aforementioned problems rear their ugly heads. To have your brakes inspected and your pads replaced, visit Tom Bush Mazda. We've been providing a top-notch vehicle purchasing and servicing experience to the region's local drivers since 1974.

For your car to move, fuel and air must mix, and this mixture must be lit. The process is simple, but it requires a huge amount of clean air. Your car's air filter is responsible for cleaning the air that enters your engine. The filter traps dust and debris, but as it does this it starts to clog up. A car air filter needs to be replaced regularly, and as your Mazda dealer, we can easily fit a new one for you. more 5 Signs You May Need a New Car Air Filter From Your Mazda Dealer Engine Light Comes On The check engine light comes on when one of the sensors in your car detects a problem. These sensors are attached to all of your engine's vital components, and they monitor the components for any sign of trouble. A lack of air in the combustion chamber causes the fuel to burn badly. Poor combustion leads to a build-up of mineral deposits in your engine and this can trigger the warning light. Strange Engine Sounds A smooth-running engine shouldn't make any strange noises. Sipping or coughing sounds from the engine are signs that your engine doesn't have enough air. When the air filter is blocked, it prevents clean air from reaching the engine. The strange sounds are caused by your spark plugs trying to spark in a fuel-rich environment. Misfiring Engine A poor air to fuel mix makes combustion difficult, as the excess fuel floods the combustion chamber. Without enough air, much of the fuel won't burn. The spark plugs also don't ignite correctly without air and this causes your engine to misfire. If you find you have to rev your engine to start it, or your engine consistently misfires, a blocked air filter is the most likely culprit. Damaged Spark Plugs As mentioned earlier, too much fuel in the combustion chamber makes it difficult for the spark plugs to fire. The fuel-rich atmosphere also causes a buildup of sticky black residue from the fuel on the spark plugs. This residue damages the plugs and makes it even more difficult for them to spark. Damaged spark plugs will also need to be replaced when we replace your air filter. Dirty Air Filter The air filter is one of your car's components that's easy to check. Your car's manual shows the position of the air filter box, and if you pop the hood you can easily see the filter. New filters are white or cream, but constant filtering of dust and dirt changes their color to brown or black. If your air filter looks dirty, it's time to replace it. A new air filter is very inexpensive and it's also quick and easy to replace. If you continue to drive with a dirty air filter you will damage your spark plugs and possibly cause damage to other vital components. If your air filter is blocked, call our service department at Tom Bush Mazda and one of our expert technicians will replace it.
