Had the weirdest thing happen in my 08 GT on Sunday morning. I was going out for a morning coffee run. Had the radio on all the while, parked the car  DD's and when I got back and turned my 5 back on, the radio didn't work! Bluetooth didn't work, even though it had the little phone sign on display. It didn't greet me with the customary "Hello", either. And the beeping sound we hear when pressing buttons for radio or climate control was gone, too! I was so upset. I figured if I just park the car and leave it alone for a while in my driveway, then, maybe, when I use it again it'll be back to working order. Lo and behold, when I turned it back on again a little later, everything was fine. Everything worked perfectly: radio, bluetooth, beeping sound, "Hello!" greeting and all. Strange! The worst part of it all - the most traumatizing - was that the last song I heard on the radio before the radio stopped working was "Circus" by Britney Spears! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The agony! It was TORTURE having that song stuck in my head! So, anyway, has this happened to anyone before? (The whole radio thing, not the Britney Spears song thing - lol) What do you think it could be? |

I've got a 2009 Mazda5 GT, about 3 months old. Radio stopped working a couple of weeks ago. I had to shutdown the engine to make it work again. Today, happened to me again. Tried to shut it down for more than 5min, but this time, nothing. I tried about 4 times. I'm hoping it's gonna come back cause I can't live with no music at all. At least give me the radio!  I'll take it to the dealer if it still doesnt work tomorrow. Anyone who had this issue got it fixed? By the way, any of you guys having any mods? I've got HIDs and I was worried if it could cause an electrical issue of some sort... |

I own a 2007 Mazda 5 Furano and yesterday my dashboard lights decided to flash on and off randomly along with the "beep" to tell me my seat belt wasn't on when it was. The most curious thing though was all dials kept flicking up to max, for example the speedo said I was doing 140mph when I was actually only doing about 20, including petrol gauge, then flicking back to zero then righting themselves. This happened over 20 times (i got fed up counting) over a short distance of about 8 miles. None of the external lights seem affected, there is no problem with the power steering or power assisted brakes and the radio, windscreen wipers and heater all work fine. The indicators were a bit confused though, even though on the outside of the car they were indicating right, inside the car they were indicating left, then right, then left again. It only seems to happen when accelerating from standstill to about 30mph and happens more frequently when the car is warmed up. I have taken the car to the dealer who are clueless (not sure if this is the normal state for them or just because of this problem as I haven't tested them out before). Any Ideas????
