vg33e power,
 
Thank you so much for the idea of replacing your horrible OEM antenna on your Mazda 5 with the Dodge Journey antenna. I just picked mine up today and it works perfectly!! I paid $5.83 with tax and it looks soooo much better!
 
Great work!

Hey-
I did the swap too, and so pleased that it works. The old one kept hitting the garage door. This one fits perfectly on the old mount - THANK YOU!
$8.20 CDN with tx.

The funny thing is after I picked it up from the parts department at the Dodge dealership, I took off the old antenna and put the new one on in the Dodge parking lot! LOL!
 
The workers weren’t very happy! LOL

Mazda5 out of the box flaws by mclincoln

Here's a list of the Mazda5 out of the box flaws that that annoys me.
 
• Suspension crushing noise when weather drops below freezing point.
• Periodic belt squealing when going hi-speed in the rain.
• Sudden transmission jerk, loss of power, even stall (had it twice) This would only occur when engine is still cool.
 
I have a 07 model, does anyone know if Mazda has a fix for these issues?

Other than the belt squealing in rain issue (which I honestly believe is a temporary thing when the belt gets wet) I believe there are fixes for the other two concerns. Here is the link for the suspension noise bulletin and here is the link for the engine stumble bulletin

The suspension fix is not a sure thing. We had ours repaired with the parts listed in the bulletin a month ago. Yesterday temps were at the freezing mark and the squeaking is still there. Just slight right now but i am waiting for temps to drop lower and i am sure then the noise will be much more substantial, same as previous years.
We have been trying to get this remedied for the past 2 years.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how dealers cannot fix this problem when later models with the same design don't seem to have the problem.
