Cracked windshield. no vehicles in front of me, on a city street. temperature outside 48-50 degrees, inside temperature 70 degrees. 9:10 a.m. it rained 1/2 hour earlier. cold morning.
Sunroof glass explosion sunroof spontaneously exploded while driving 65 mph on an empty highway. internal sunroof cover shielded any debris. outside conditions: cloudy day, around 85 degrees and humid. rain in forecast. other details: speed limit was 70 mph. glass shattered and a portion blew up and out of the vehicle. no other vehicles were present. extremely loud boom followed by sound of air flowing into vehicle (like an open window). when opening the cover to see what it was, pieces of glass fell into the vehicle. currently undergoing getting repairs under insurance.
While coming through a car was my sun roof shattered when it came to the drying cycle. luckily i wasn't in the car.
The driver side rearview mirror vibrates violently and blurs visibility at speeds higher than 50 mph. a tsb has been issued for this issue, but mazda refuses to repair it for certified preowned vehicles even though this is a manufacturing defect and is very distracting during driving on the highway. i have to look at the mirror for a longer time to make sure the road is clear, which is a higher risk to my safety.
The rear window shattered spontaneously. while parked.
Windshield cracked without anything hitting the windshield, personally believe it is stress crack, however, taking it to a local mazda dealer doing a "pen-test", told me it was chipped and that caused the crack.
We parked our car outdoors overnight on a quiet residential street and returned in the morning to find a 12" crack in the front windshield. it started at the roof line, and cross through the area where the safety sensors are located and ended just below where the review mirror is attached. the car was stationary all night and there does not appear to be any point of impact. the car is 20 months old. it appears to be a stress crack, possibly due to faulty production of the glass or its attachment during manufacturing.
2 issues so far with this car: 1st - rear brakes seized up after 30k causing a trail of smoke to follow my car while on the highway, followed by an emergency stop on the side of the road. the hub, rotor, brake caliper, and tires became so hot that the tire pressure sensor went off and upon inspection, the tire pressure had increased from 35psi to over 50psi (tire pressure gauge did not go higher then 50) due to heat. was told that due to salt and sand (live in cold climate) corrosion caused the issue. rear brakes and rotors replaced @ $208.95. currently fighting mazda for a refund as this is clearly covered under the 3 year 36k mile warranty per tsb: 04005/15 - see warranty section on 3rd and 4th page. i had family in the car when this happened and am worried about the long term safety of this car and it's braking systems. a rear tire blow out caused by this issue could have caused a fatal crash at highway speeds. 2nd - i have replaced the windshield on this car 5 times ...
This is the second time the windshield on my mazda cx5 cracked with one year (the prior incident occurred in march 2015)...this time all i hear is a crack sound and i see an atleast 12 inch crack on the windshield while driving. i'm really afraid this crack will break the windshield while i'm driving about and will injure my family (with baby in car). replacement for windshield is very costly due to rain and city safety monitoring sensors on the windshield....it's ridiculous that this is happening again :(
Several months ago i noticed a small crack in the center of my windshield just below the rearview mirror on my 2014 mazda cx-5. at no point had anything hit my windshield and there was no sign of a rock or a chip. i looked up the cost of the windshield on the internet and it was then that i saw this is a common problem with this vehicle i am now waiting on a replacement windshield, however there is a national backorder on this particular windshield which would only back up my complaint that there is a larger issue.
We had bought a new 2015 mazda cx-5 in dec2014. after about 2-3 months & 3500 miles, a crack suddenly appeared on the vehicle when it was parked in a parking lot. there was no eveidence of crack on the commute to that parking lot earlier that day. there was no point of impact or any thing hitting the windshield, the crack has growing a little everyday. dealer says it was caused due to a point of impact but doesn't look like it
While driving on a highway at a normal speed, i heard a loud crack however saw no crack in the windshield at that time. i was not driving behind any large trucks and did not see any rock hit the windshield. the next morning i noticed a crack extending down from above the rearview mirror, and the crack has since grown and is now spreading laterally along the windshield. there is no indication that this was caused by a rock in knots i think it is a stress related incident. i have read several times that this has been an issue with these vehicles and i am going to go to the dealer to discuss it. *tr
My windshield developed a crack from the center bottom edge over night. it was parked in a garage as everyday and appears to be a stress crack. the crack was significantly long on the first day itself that i had to change it.
Car was driven to the gym and parked. owner entered the car to return home and noticed a crack in the windshield. crack initiated under the driver side seal about halfway up the windshield and has progressed horizontally over 12". no apparent impact or debris found on car. appears to be caused by stress. further research into this issue has revealed many other mazda cx-5 owners with similar experiences. *tr
Was driving my 2014 mazda cx-5 in inclement weather (snowing). hit a small pot hole and heard a loud crack from within the car but was not sure where it came from. when i got to work, i checked the tires and the exterior of the car for damage. there was none. the next day i noticed a six inch crack in my windshield, midway down, starting from the frame of the window on the drivers side, straight inward. needless to say, as i drive the car more and more, the crack is slowly spreading inward and is now about 16 inches long. i contacted the service department at the dealer and am bringing it in for inspection for a defect. i do not recall getting hit with any pebbles or rocks at the time i hit the pot hole or there after. *tr
